adjusted according to the tempera-
ture setting and humidity.

ting.
3 To stop the operation, press-
the “OFF” switch.
If the fan speed setting or air
flow modes are operated, the
automatic mode indicator goes
off. However, automatic mode
for functions other than that
operated is maintained.
Using automatic mode
Fan speed is adjusted automati-
cally according to the temperature
setting and the ambient conditions.
Therefore, the fan may stop for a
while until warm or cool air is ready
to flow immediately after the auto-
matic mode switch is pressed.
This function automatically con-
trols the air conditioning airflow
so that priority is given to the
front seats. When the front pas-
senger seat is not occupied, air-
flow may switch to only the
drivers seat. Unnecessary air
conditioning is suppressed, con-
tributing to increased fuel effi-
ciency.

perature of the outside air and

shield to fog up, blocking your
vision.
