Description
The Automatic Dual Zone Climate Control System
adjusts the temperature and air distribution
independently between the driver and passenger.
The system maintains the set temperature inside
the passenger compartment and compensates
for outside temperature change.
NOTE:
The reference temperature is 72°F (22°C) for
optimal comfort management.
The automatic setting will adjust the following to
maintain comfort within the passenger
compartment:
Air temperature from the driver/front
passenger side vents
Air distribution from the driver/front passenger
side vents
Fan speed (continuous variation of the air flow)
Compressor variations (for cooling/dehumid-
ifying the air)
Air recirculation
The Climate Control system can also be operated
manually by using the buttons and knobs on the
faceplate.
Manual selections will override the automatic
settings, which are stored until the AUTO button is
pushed. If the system intervenes for safety
reasons, the automatic setting will take control of
the system.
The following operations will not deactivate the
automatic (AUTO) function:
Air Recirculation activation/deactivation
A/C activation/deactivation
SYNC function activation
Rear Window Defrost activation/deactivation
When in AUTO mode, the vehicle’s internal
temperature is controlled according to the set
temperature.
The following can be manually set or adjusted:
Driver/passenger air temperature
Blower speed (continuous variation)
Air distribution (seven positions for driver and
passenger)
A/C activation
Front Defrost
Air recirculation
Rear Defrost
System deactivation
A/C Compressor
Push the A/C button or the icon to activate or
deactivate the A/C compressor (indicator
illuminated when activated). The A/C compressor
will remain off even after the engine has stopped.
When the A/C compressor is turned off, the
system deactivates air recirculation to prevent
the windows from fogging up. If the climate
control system can maintain the temperature,
with the A/C turned off, the AUTO feature will
remain on and the AUTO button indicator light will
not switch off.
To restore automatic control of the A/C
compressor, push the A/C button or the AUTO
button. With the A/C compressor off, the air
speed can be set manually using the Air Speed
Adjustment Knob.
When the A/C compressor is on, and the engine
is running, air speed cannot be lower than the
minimum speed (only one indicator light is lit).
NOTE:
When the A/C is off, the Climate Control system
can not produce air that is colder than the current
outside temperature. Under certain environ-
mental conditions, windows could fog up rapidly,
since the air is not dehumidified.
CAUTION!
The system uses R1234yf refrigerant, which
does not pollute the environment in the event
of accidental leakage. Under no circum-
stances, use R134a and R12 fluids, which are
incompatible with the components of this sys-
tem.
