Auto Button
For the most efficient operation you should press the
AUTO button and set the system temperature. The
system will select the best fan speed and airflow settings
to keep you comfortable. The air conditioning
compressor will run if the outside temperature is above
40
_F (4.5_C). You may notice a delay of three to four
minutes before the fan comes on.
Hot Weather Example: When you start the vehicle in
hot weather, 80
_F (27_C) or after being parked during
the day in full sun, if your Driver Set Temperature is
73
_F (23_C) and you are in Full Automatic mode, the
system will automatically move the temperature doors to
full cold. The blower will be at low speed momentarily
and then go to the high speed. The air intake will be
recirculated for maximum cooling performance. As the
interior of the vehicle cools down to your desired
comfort point, the blower will decrease and the
temperature door will move to a warmer position to
maintain your desired comfort. As the cabin cools down
or the sun load decreases, the system could switch to air
delivered to A/C vents and the floor (Bi
- level mode).
Cold Weather Example: When you start the vehicle in
cold weather, (below freezing), or after being parked
overnight, if your Driver Set Temperature is 73
_F
(23
_C) and you are in Full Automatic mode, the system
will automatically move the temperature doors to full
hot. The blower will start out at a low speed and the
blower speed will increase as the engine warms up. The
air will be delivered to the floor. As the interior of the
vehicle warms up to your desired comfort level, the
blower will decrease and the temperature door will
move to a cooler position to maintain your desired
comfort. As the cabin warms up or the sun load
increases, the system could switch to air delivered to the
windshield and the floor (DEFOG mode).
Off Button
