4. 4
   If you want air conditioning, turn on the air conditioner.

To return to fully automatic mode, press the AUTO button.

Airflow distribution mode selection The airflow distribution button lets you choose which air outlets to use.

The air outlet switching sequence is as follows:

Refer to the figure in the section "Manual air conditioner".

Floor/defrost level (A, C, D) Most of the air is directed to the floor and windshield, with a small amount directed to the side window defrost vents.

Face level (B, D) Air is directed to the upper body and face. Each vent can also be adjusted in direction.

Bi-level (B, D, C) Air is directed to the face and the floor.

Floor level (C, A, D) Most of the air is directed toward the floor, while a small amount is directed to the windshield and side window defroster vents.

Defrost level Most of the air is directed toward the windshield, and a small amount toward the side window defroster vents.

Dashboard vents You can adjust the direction of the airflow from these vents using the control lever as shown.

• You can close the vents by moving the control lever in the direction of the arrow () shown on the lever.
• You can adjust the airflow direction by moving the control lever to the desired direction.

Temperature control The temperature control knob adjusts the temperature of the air supplied to the cabin. To increase the cabin temperature, turn the knob to the right; to decrease it, turn the knob to the left.

Temperature unit conversion The display can also be switched between degrees Celsius and degrees Fahrenheit as follows: Press and hold the OFF button, then press the AUTO button for at least 4 seconds.

The display will switch from degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit, or vice versa.

If the battery is discharged or disconnected, the temperature will be displayed in degrees Celsius.

Air intake selection button This selects either outside (fresh) air intake or recirculation of cabin air.

Press the button to switch the air intake.

Recirculation mode When this mode is selected, the air inside the cabin is recirculated through the climate control system and then heated or cooled as set.

Outside (fresh) air mode When this mode is selected, outside (fresh) air is drawn in and then heated or cooled as set.

NOTE Prolonged use of heating in recirculation mode (without air conditioning) will fog up the windshield and side windows, and the cabin air will become stale.

In addition, prolonged use of the air conditioner combined with recirculation mode greatly dries out the air in the cabin.

WARNING

• Prolonged use of the air conditioner in recirculation mode can increase humidity inside the cabin, causing the windows to fog up and reducing visibility.
• Do not sleep in the vehicle with the air conditioner or heater on. It may be harmful or even fatal due to reduced oxygen levels and/or body temperature.
• Prolonged use of the air conditioner in recirculation mode may cause drowsiness or sleepiness and loss of vehicle control. Use the fresh air intake position as much as possible.

Blower fan speed control The fan speed can be adjusted as desired using the switch.

The higher the fan speed, the greater the airflow.

Pressing the OFF button turns the fan off.

Air conditioner (A/C) To turn on the air conditioner, press the A/C button (the indicator light on the display will come on).

To turn off the air conditioner, press the button again.

OFF mode To turn off the climate control system, press the OFF button. As long as the ignition switch is in the ON position, the airflow distribution and air intake buttons remain active.
