Climate Control Influence on Fuel Economy
The climate control system depends on other vehicle systems for heat and power input. Certain climate control settings can lead to higher fuel usage.
The following climate control settings use more fuel:
- MAX air conditioning mode
- Defrost mode
- Extreme temperature settings, such as 15° C (60° F) or 32° C (90° F)
- High fan speed settings To help reduce fuel usage:
- Use the fully automatic control as described under “Automatic Operation.”
- Select a temperature setting that is higher in hot weather and lower in cold weather.
- Turn off the air conditioning when it is not needed.
- Only use defrost to clear the windows.
Automatic Operation
To place the system in automatic mode:
- Press AUTO.
- Set the driver and passenger temperature. To find your comfort setting, start at 22 °C (72 °F) and allow the system time to stabilize. Then adjust the temperature as needed for the best comfort.
To improve fuel efficiency and to cool the vehicle faster, recirculation may be automatically selected in warm weather. The recirculation light will not come on when automatically controlled. Press @to manually select recirculation; press it again to select outside air. Do not cover the solar sensor on the top of the instrument panel near the windshield.

Sensors
The solar sensor, located in the defrost grille in the middle of the instrument panel, monitors the solar heat. Do not cover the solar sensor or the system will not work properly. There is also an exterior temperature sensor behind the front grille. This sensor reads the outside air temperature and helps maintain the temperature inside the vehicle. Any cover on the front of the vehicle could cause a false reading in the displayed temperature.
The climate control system uses the information from these sensors to maintain comfort settings by adjusting the outlet temperature, fan speed, and air delivery mode. The system may also supply cooler air to the side of the vehicle facing the sun. The recirculation mode will also be used as needed to maintain cool outlet temperatures.
After blow Feature
If equipped, under certain conditions, the fan may stay on or may turn on and off several times after you turn off and lock the vehicle. This is normal.
