Manual heating and air conditioning

The heating and cooling system can be controlled manually by pushing switches other than the AUTO button. In this case, the system works sequentially according to the order of buttons selected.

When pressing any button except the AUTO button whilst using automatic operation, the functions not selected will be controlled automatically.

Start the engine.
Set the mode to the desired position.

To improve the effectiveness of heating and cooling, select the mode according to the following:
- Heating:
- Cooling:
Set the temperature control to the desired position.
Set the air intake control to outside (fresh) air position.
Set the blower 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.

When starting the vehicle in cold weather using manual temperature control, operate the system in the following method to improve heating.

Turn off or lower the blower, immediately after starting the engine.
Allow the engine to warm up during this time since the air flow from the heater is still cold.
After a few minutes of engine warm up, turn on or set the blower to a higher level and adjust the temperature setting to hot.

Mode selection

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

Air flow direction

The air flow outlet direction is cycled as follows:

Symbol	Operation	Direction
	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
	Air flow is directed toward the face and the floor.	B, C, D, E, F
	Most of the air flow is directed to the floor, with a small amount of the air being directed to the windscreen and side window defrosters.	A, C, D, E, F
	Most of the air flow is directed to the floor and the windscreen with a small amount directed to the side window defrosters.	A, C, D, E, F

Front windscreen defroster[A], [D]

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

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

Press the front windscreen 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 windscreen defrost.

Instrument panel vents

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

The outlet vents can be opened or closed separately using the vent control lever. If you move the vent control lever away from the passenger, the outlet vents can be closed.

Temperature control

Press the switch up to increase the temperature. Press the switch down to decrease the temperature.

The temperature increases or decreases by 0.5°C/1°F for each incremental location. When set to the lowest temperature setting, the air conditioning operates continuously.

Temperature conversion (°C ↔ °F)

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

Press the OFF switch whilst pressing theAUTO switch for more than 3 seconds.
Select Settings > General > Unit > Temperature unit > °C/°F from the infotainment system.

SYNC (Adjusting the driver and passenger side temperature simultaneously)

Adjusting the driver and passenger side temperature equally

Press SYNC button (indicator light ON), the passenger’s temperature and air flow direction is adjusted to the same as the driver’s control.

Adjusting the driver and passenger side temperature individually

Press SYNC button (indicator light OFF), all seats temperature and air flow direction is adjusted individually.

Air intake control

Recirculation mode

When Recirculation mode is selected, air from the passenger compartment is recirculated through the system and heated or cooled according to the function selected.

Outside (fresh) mode

When Outside (fresh) mode is selected, air enters the vehicle from outside and is heated or cooled according to the function selected.

Operating the system primarily in Outside (fresh) mode is recommended. Use Recirculation mode temporarily only when needed.

Prolonged operation of the heating in Recirculation mode and without the A/C ON can cause fogging of the windscreen.

In addition, prolonged use of the A/C ON in Recirculation mode may result in excessively dry, dehumidified air in the cabin and may promote formation of musty vent odour due to stagnant air.

Continued use of the climate control system operation in Recirculation mode for a prolonged period of time may cause drowsiness to the occupants in the cabin. This may lead to loss of vehicle control which may lead to an accident.
Continued use of the climate control system operation in Recirculation mode with the A/C OFF may allow humidity to increase inside the cabin. This may cause condensation to accumulate on the windscreen and obscure visibility.
Do not sleep in your vehicle or remain parked in your vehicle with the windows up and either the heater or the air conditioning ON for prolonged periods of time. Doing so may increase the levels of carbon dioxide in the cabin which may lead to serious injury or death.

Blower speed control

The blower speed can be set as desired by pressing the blower speed control switch.

More air is delivered with higher blower speeds.

Pressing the OFF button turns off the blower.

For better sound quality, blower speed may automatically slow down for a couple of minutes when you activate voice recognition or hands free.

Operating the blower when the Engine Start/Stop button is in the ON position could cause the battery to discharge.

Operate the blower when the engine is running.

Air conditioning

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

OFF mode

Press the OFF button to turn the climate control system off. You can still operate the mode and air intake buttons as long as the Engine Start/Stop button is in the ON position.
