1. Airflow distribution
2. Air inlet selection
3. Air conditioner compressor
4. Fan speed

When the full auto mode is selected, the following functions are automatically controlled.

• Fan speed
• Airflow distribution
• Air inlet selection
• Air conditioner compressor operation

To activate this mode, perform the following

1. Touch the climate control mode indicator.
2. Touch “AUTO”.
3. Set the preferred temperature. Refer to “Temperature Control” FP293.

NOTE

• Operate the automatic climate control system when the engine is running. . Even when cooling is not necessary, the air conditioner compressor will automatically turn on if the temperature is set much lower than the current outlet air temperature. Even in this case, the “A/C” indicator light on the climate control screen illuminates.
• The air conditioner may not operate in the following cases:
  • When the cabin temperature is low
  • When the ambient temperature decreases close to 328F (08C)
• The controllable temperature range may vary depending on the regional specifications of the vehicle.
• If something other than temperature control is operated while the display is in full auto mode, the “FULL” indicator will turn off and the “AUTO” indicator light will remain illuminated. You can then manually control the system as desired using the climate control screen. To change the system back to full auto mode, touch “AUTO”.

To turn off the climate control system, touch “ON/OFF”. At this time, the air inlet selection mode will differ depending on the auto mode and manual mode. Auto mode: Changes to the outside air circulation mode. Manual mode: Continues the mode when the climate control mode is set to OFF.

Sensors

1. Solar sensor
2. Interior air temperature sensor

The automatic climate control system employs several sensors. These sensors are delicate. If they are treated incorrectly and become damaged, the system may not be able to control the interior temperature correctly. To avoid damaging the sensors, observe the following precautions:

• Do not subject the sensors to impact.
• Keep water away from the sensors.
• Do not cover the sensors.
