Automatic climate control
WARNING
► The air conditioner cooling function
operates only when the engine is running.
► Do not leave children or adults who
would normally require the support of
others alone in your vehicle. Pets should
not be left alone either. On hot, sunny
days, temperatures in a closed vehicle
could quickly become high enough to
cause severe or possibly fatal injuries to
people or animals.
► Do not use the recirculation mode for
long periods as it may cause the interior
air to become stale and the windows to
fog up.
► Do not adjust the heating and air
conditioning controls while driving so
that full attention may be given to
vehicle operation.
Start the engine and operate the automatic climate control system.
When the STATUS button is pushed, the automatic climate control status screen will appear. (See “How to use STATUS button” earlier in this section.)
