WARNING
O
The air conditioner cooling function op-
erates only when the engine is running.
O
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 leave children or adults who would
normally require the assistance of
others in your vehicle. Unattended pets
should also not be left alone.
O
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.
Start the engine and operate the controls
to activate the air conditioner.
AUTOMATIC OPERATION

heating (AUTO)
This mode may be normally used all year

trolled automatically.

cally.

dicator will come on. To turn off the
passenger side temperature control,
push the “DUAL” button.

indicate a malfunction.
