Climate Control  
Note: To improve the time to reach comfort  
Dual Zone Temperature Control  
in hot weather, drive with the windows fully  
open until you feel cold air through the air  
vents.  
Select a temperature for the passengers  
side using the rotary control on the  
passengers side. Single zone temperature  
control automatically switches off. The  
temperature on the drivers side remains  
unchanged. You can now adjust the drivers  
side and passengers side temperatures  
independently. The display shows the  
temperature settings for each side.  
Manual Climate Control  
Note: To reduce fogging of the windshield  
during humid weather, adjust the air  
distribution control to the windshield air  
vents position.  
Automatic Climate Control  
HINTS ON CONTROLLING THE  
INTERIOR CLIMATE  
Note: Adjusting the settings when your  
vehicle interior is extremely hot or cold is  
not necessary. The system automatically  
adjusts to heat or cool the cabin to your  
selected temperature as quickly as possible.  
For the system to function efficiently, the  
instrument panel and side air vents should  
be fully open.  
General Hints  
Note: Prolonged use of recirculated air may  
cause the windows to fog up.  
Note: To reduce humidity build-up inside  
your vehicle, do not drive with the system  
switched off or with recirculated air always  
switched on.  
Note: If you select AUTO during cold  
outside temperatures, the system directs  
airflow to the windshield and side window  
vents. In addition, the fan may run at a  
slower speed until the engine warms up.  
Note: Do not place objects under the front  
seats as this may interfere with the airflow  
to the rear seats.  
Note: If you select AUTO during hot outside  
temperatures, or when the inside of the  
vehicle is hot, the system automatically uses  
recirculated air to maximize interior cooling.  
When the interior reaches the selected  
temperature, the system automatically  
switches to using outside air.  
Note: Remove any snow, ice or leaves from  
the air intake area at the base of the  
windshield.
