Climate Control System
Using Automatic Climate Control
The automatic climate control system maintains the interior temperature you select.
The system also selects the proper mix of heated or cooled air that raises or lowers
the interior temperature to your preference as quickly as possible.
1Using Automatic Climate Control
If any buttons are pressed while using the climate
control system in auto, the function of the button
that was pressed will take priority.
Models with SYNC button
The auto button indicator*/AUTO indicator* will go
off, but functions unrelated to the button that were
pressed will be controlled automatically.
During idle-stops, air-conditioning is suspended, and
only the blower remains active. If you do not want
air-conditioning suspended, press the Auto Idle Stop
OFF button to cancel idle-stop.

more rapidly by partially opening the windows,
turning the system on auto, and setting the
temperature to low. Change the fresh air mode to
recirculation mode until the temperature cools down.
