NOTE: The beeper for button operation confirmation has been discontinued.

1. AUTOMATIC CONTROL OPERATION

- AUTO switch: When this switch is pressed (ON), the air outlet selection, blower fan speed, air temperature, fresh/recirculation switching, and compressor operation are automatically controlled. When the AUTO switch is pressed second time, the compressor operates in the ECON mode. In the ECON mode, the ECM controls compressor operation based on inputs from the intake air temperature sensor. Compressor operating time in the ECON mode is shorter than in the AUTO mode.
- Temperature set switch: A desired cabin temperature can be set in 0.5 °C increments.
- OFF/Bright switch: When this switch is pressed, the blower fan and compressor stop and all the indicators go out.
Setting the light switch to the "OFF" or "Bright" position causes the illuminating icons on the display panel to dim. When traveling with the lights on in gloomy daylight or in twilight, press the OFF switch for 1 second or longer if you feel it is too hard to identify the icons clearly. The brightness comes back to normal.
