Manual heating and air conditioning

Start the engine.
Set the mode to the desired position. For improving the effectiveness of heating and cooling, select:
- Heating: ř
- Cooling: Ř
Set the temperature control to the desired position.
Set the air intake control to the outside (fresh) air position.
Set the fan speed control to the desired speed.
If air conditioning is desired, turn on the air conditioning system.
Press the AUTO button to convert to full automatic control of the system.

Mode selection

The mode selection button controls the direction of the air flow through the ventilation system.

Air flow direction

Symbol	Operation	Direction
ĭ	Air flow is directed toward the upper body and face. Additionally, each outlet can be controlled to direct the air discharged from the outlet.	B, D, F
Ĭ	Air flow is directed toward the face and the floor.	B, C, D, E, F, G
Å	Most of the air flow is directed to the floor, with a small amount of the air being directed to the windshield and side window defrosters.	A, C, D, E, G
Ŝ	Most of the air flow is directed to the floor and the windshield with a small amount directed to the side window defrosters.	A, C, D, E, G

3rd row outlet vents (G, H) (if equipped)

The air flow of 3rd row outlet vents (G) is controlled by the front climate control system and delivered through the inside air duct of the floor.
The air flow of the 3rd row outlet vents (G) may be weaker than the instrument panel vents for the long air duct.
The air flow of 3rd row side vents (H) is controlled by the 3rd row seat air conditioning button and knob.

Front windshield defroster [A], [D]

Press the A/C button to manually turn on the system on (indicator light ON) and off.

Press the front windshield defroster button (indicator light ON) to turn on the front windshield defroster. If the windshield defogging is set, outside (fresh) mode is automatically selected and the air conditioning turns on according to the detected ambient temperature.

Press the front windshield defroster button once more (indicator light OFF) to turn the function off. Each climate control setting reverts to the setting prior to selecting the front windshield defrost.

Instrument panel vents

The instrument panel vent air flow can be directed up/down or left/right using the vent adjustment lever.

Move the lever all the way to the Á direction to close, and to the Â direction to open the air vents.

Temperature control

The temperature increases by turning the knob to the right (red side). The temperature decreases by turning the knob to the left (blue side).

Temperature conversion (°C ↔ °F)

To change the temperature unit from °C to °F or °F to °C:

Select Setup > General > Units > Temperature Unit > °C/°F in the infotainment system.

The infotainment system may change after software updates. For more information, refer to the user's manual provided in the infotainment system and the quick reference guide.

SYNC (Adjusting the driver and passenger side temperature equally)

Adjusting the temperature equally

Press the SYNC button (indicator light ON) to adjust the driver and passenger side temperature equally.

Adjusting the temperature individually

Press the SYNC button (indicator light OFF) again to adjust the driver and passenger side temperature individually.

Air intake control

To select outside (fresh) air or recirculated air, press this button.

Recirculated air position

With the recirculated air selected, air from the passenger compartment is drawn through the climate control system.

Outside (fresh) air position

With the outside (fresh) air selected, air enters the vehicle from outside and is drawn through the climate control system.

Using the system in the fresh air position is recommended.

Prolonged operation of the heater in the recirculated air position (without air conditioning selected) can cause fogging of the windshield and side windows and the air within the passenger compartment will 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.

To prevent serious injury or death:

Continued climate control system operation in the recirculated air position may allow humidity to increase inside the vehicle that could fog the windshield and the side windows and obscure visibility.
Do not sleep in a vehicle with the air conditioning or heating system on.
Continued climate use of recirculated air may cause drowsiness or sleepiness, and loss of vehicle control. Set the air intake control to the outside (fresh) air position while driving.

Fan speed control

Press the ķ button to increase fan speed and airflow.
Press the ĸ button to decrease fan speed and airflow.

Operating the fan speed when the Engine Start/Stop button is in the ON position may cause the battery to discharge.

Air conditioning

Press the A/C button to manually turn on the air conditioning system (indicator light ON) and off.

OFF mode

Press the OFF button to turn off the climate control system.

You can still operate the mode buttons and air intake buttons as long as the Engine Start/Stop button is in the ON position.

3rd row air conditioning

Control on 1st row

Press the 3rd row air conditioning FRONT/REAR button (1) located on the front climate control panel and set the fan speed to the desired speed with the fan speed button (2). (indicator light on the REAR button will illuminate).
To turn off the 3rd row air conditioning control system, press the OFF button (3).

If there is no button operation for 5 seconds, the rear climate control screen switches to the front climate control screen.

Control on 3rd row

Press the air conditioning button (1) on the 3rd seat to start the system. (indicator light ON)

The air conditioning button on the front seat will also illuminate to inform the driver that the system is running in the 3rd row.

Press the air conditioning button (1) on the 3rd seat to turn off the system in the 3rd row. (indicator light OFF)
Control the Fan speed control knob (2) from the 3rd seat to separately set the fan from the front seat.
Water dripping on the ground of the vehicle is normal after the use of the air conditioning.
Avoid prolonged operation of the air conditioning in the circulated air position when operating in/outside mode. Carefully adjust to let outdoor air circulate regularly.
Use the air conditioning system every week for around 5 minutes at once to avoid the potential breakdown of the system.
Open the windows for a short time to let the hot air inside the vehicle escape.

Excessive use of air conditioning during the hot summer may increase moisture outside the window due to the difference between the temperature of the outside and inside the vehicle. Change the air flow direction and adjust the air control to the lowest level.
In humid weather, if the windows are open and the air conditioning is running, water droplets may form inside the vehicle and around the air vent. In this case, use the air conditioning system with the windows closed to prevent any potential damage to electrical equipment.

Avoid leaves, snow, or other objects to block the grill as the source of air for the heater and air conditioning flows into the grill. When cooling, foggy air can be seen as the outside air draws into the vehicle. This is a normal condition since the humid air flows into the vehicle while cooling the vehicle rapidly.
