Mode selection
The air flow outlet ports are switched in the following sequence:
Face-Level (2, 4, 5)
Air flow is directed toward the upper body and face. Additionally, each outlet can be controlled to direct the air discharged from the outlet.
Bi-Level (2, 3, 4, 5)
Air flow is directed towards the face and the floor.
Floor-Level (3, 4)
Most of the air flow is directed to the floor, with a small amount of the air being directed to the windscreen, side window defrosters and side air vents.
Floor/Defrost-Level (1, 3, 4)
Most of the air flow is directed to the floor and the windscreen with a small amount directed to the side window defrosters and side air vents.
Defrost-Level (1, 4)
Most of the air flow is directed to the windscreen with a small amount of air directed to the side window defrosters and side air vents.
Controlling the vents
You can adjust the direction of air delivered from these vents using the vent control lever as shown.
Temperature control
The temperature will increase to the maximum (HI) by pressing the temperature control lever upward.
The temperature will decrease to the minimum (Lo) by pressing temperature control lever downward.
When pressing temperature control lever, the temperature will increase or decrease by 0.5 °C. When set to the lowest temperature setting, the air conditioning will operate continuously.
Controlling air intake
To change the air intake control position, touch the control button.
Recirculated air position
With the recirculated air position selected, air from the passenger compartment will be drawn through the heating system and heated or cooled according to the function selected. The indicator light illuminates.
Outside (fresh) air position
With the outside (fresh) air position selected, air enters the vehicle from outside and is heated or cooled according to the function selected. The indicator light will turn off.
Prolonged operation of the heater in the recirculated air position (without air conditioning selected) may cause fogging of the windscreen and side windows and the air within the passenger compartment may become stale.
In addition, prolonged use of the air conditioning with the recirculated air position selected will result in excessively dry air in the passenger compartment.
-
Continued climate control system operation in the recirculated air position may allow humidity to increase inside the vehicle which may fog the glass and obscure visibility.
-
Do not sleep in a vehicle with the air conditioning or heating system on. It may cause serious harm or death due to a drop in the oxygen level and/or body temperature.
-
Continued climate control system operation in the recirculated air position can cause drowsiness or sleepiness, and loss of vehicle control. Set the air intake control to the outside (fresh) air position as much as possible whilst driving.
Controlling fan speed
The fan speed can be set to the desired speed by operating the Fan speed control lever.
To change the fan speed:
-
Climate control display: Touch the left or right button to adjust the speed.
-
Instrument panel: Press the lever up or down.
Air conditioning (A/C)
-
Touch the A/C button to turn the air conditioning system on (indicator light will illuminate).
-
Touch the button again to turn the air conditioning system off.
Turning off the front air climate control
-
Climate control display: Touch the button (1) several times or keep pressing it.
-
Instrument panel: Press down the fan speed control lever (2) several times or keep pressing it down.
