Temperature

With the system in any mode but OFF and temperature between 19°C and 29°C (66°F and 84°F), turning the temperature knob in either direction increases or decreases temperature by one degree. If the knob is turned in the decrease direction to achieve the lowest setting, with the set temperature at 18°C (65°F), temperature drops immediately to 16°C (60°F). If the knob is turned in the increase direction to achieve the highest setting, with set temperature at 29°C (85°F), set temperature will jump immediately to 32°C (90°F). An increase or decrease of the set temperature signals the IPM to take the steps necessary (change blower speed, change air discharge location, change discharge temperature) to bring the interior temperature to the new set temperature. The set temperature is not cleared when the ignition is turned OFF.

The compressor does not operate in OFF or when the A/C button is off therefore cooling the interior of the vehicle beyond the outside air temperature is not possible.

If the temperature knob is rotated when the system is OFF, the system will return to the AUTO setting.
