Climate Control Auto Function

Press AUTO to select Full Auto Operation. The Auto setting automatically controls the airflow modes, fan speeds, air intake and air conditioning according to the temperature setting selected. Turn temperature control knob to the desired temperature.

Air Flow Modes

To select Air Flow Modes, press the Mode selection buttons :

Quick Tips:

  • Defrost mode activates A/C and opens Fresh Air Vent to help dehumidify the air and improve defog performance
  • During Auto Operation, the A/C indicator will NOT illuminate. The fan speed, air intake, air flow and air conditioning may automatically be engaged at any time to reach desired temperature and reduce humidity
  • Keep inside glass as clean as possible to reduce window fogging

Reminders:

  • Continuous use of the climate control system in the recirculated air position may allow humidity to increase inside the vehicle which may fog the glass and obscure visibility
  • Pressing any button during AUTO operation will deactivate the AUTO function and switch to manual mode, except for Temperature Control
  • When in AUTO mode, Air Flow mode and Fan Speed do not display on the Climate Control Display
  • Cold or warm ambient air may flow in through vents if Recirculated Air button is not pressed ON (LED lit)
  • Continuous use of the A/C and heater may allow the Energy Consumption to increase, especially excessive use of the heater
Auto Defogging System

Auto Defogging is designed to reduce the fogging up of the inside of the windshield by automatically sensing the moisture of the inside of the windshield. The system will automatically change to defrost mode when needed.

Auto Defogging is set ON by default. To cancel Auto Defogging, press and hold the Front Defrost button for three seconds, when the ignition is on (the defrost button light will flash three times and the ADS OFF icon will illuminate). To turn Auto Defogging on again, press and hold the Front Defrost button again for three seconds and the defrost button light will flash 6 times and ADS OFF icon will turn off.

Driver Only Ventilation

Driver Only Ventilation restricts air flow to the driver’s side vents only. This can help to optimize driving range by limiting the power drawn from the battery. Press DRIVER ONLY button to enable air flow through the driver’s side vents only.
