Automatic operation
Cooling and/or dehumidified heating (AUTO)
This mode may be used all year round as the system automatically works to keep a constant temperature. Air flow distribution and fan speed are also controlled automatically.
1. Press the AUTObutton on. (The indicator on
the button will illuminate and AUTO will be
displayed.)
2. Turn the temperature control dial to the left
or right to set the desired temperature.
● Adjust the temperature display to about
75°F (24°C) for normal operation.
● The temperature of the passenger compartment
will be maintained automatically. Air
flow distribution and fan speed are also controlled
automatically.
● A visible mist may be seen coming from the
vents in hot, humid conditions as the air is
cooled rapidly. This does not indicate a malfunction.
3. You can individually set driver’s and front passenger’s side temperature using each temperature control dial. When the DUAL button or passenger’s side temperature dial is turned, the DUAL indicator will come on.
To turn off the passenger’s side temperature control, press the DUAL button.
Heating (A/C OFF)
The air conditioner does not activate. When you need to heat only, use this mode.
1. Press the A/C button. (A/C OFF will be
displayed and A/C indicator will turn off.)
2. Turn the temperature control dial to set the
desired temperature.
● The temperature of the passenger compartment
will be maintained automatically. Air
flow distribution and fan speed are also controlled
automatically.
● Do not set the temperature lower than the
outside air temperature. Otherwise, the system
may not work properly.
● Not recommended if windows fog up.
Dehumidified defrosting or defogging
1. Press the front defroster button on.
(The indicator light on the button will come
on.)
2. Turn the temperature control dial to set the
desired temperature.
● To quickly remove ice from the outside of the
windows, use the fan speed control dial to
set the fan speed to maximum.
● As soon as possible after the windshield is
clean, press the AUTO button to return to
the automatic mode.
● When the front defroster button
is
pressed, the air conditioner will automatically
be turned on at outside temperatures
above 36°F (2°C). The air recirculate mode
automatically turns off, allowing outside air
to be drawn into the passenger compartment
to further improve the defogging performance.
