Climate Control System

Using Automatic Climate Control
The automatic climate control system maintains the interior temperature you select. The system also selects the proper mix of heated or cooled air that will as quickly as possible, raise or lower the interior temperature to your preference.2021 Honda Pilot-Climate Control-fig 1

Use the system when the engine is running.

  1. Press the AUTO button.
  2. Adjust the interior temperature using the driver’s side or passenger’s side temperature control switch.

Using Automatic Climate Control
If any buttons are pressed while using the climate control system in auto, the function of the button that was pressed will take priority.
The AUTO indicator will go off, but functions unrelated to the button that was pressed will be controlled automatically.
During idle stops, air-conditioning is suspended, and only the blower remains active.
If you do not want air-conditioning suspended, press the Auto Idle Stop OFF button to cancel the idle stop.
To prevent cold air from blowing in from outside, the fan may operate at low speed for a while after the AUTO button has been pressed.
If the interior is very warm, you can cool it down more rapidly by partially opening the windows, turning the system on auto, and setting the temperature to low. Change the fresh mode to recirculation mode until the temperature cools down.
When you set the temperature to the lower or upper limit, Lo or Hi is displayed.

Switching between the recirculation and fresh air modes
Press the button and switch the mode depending on environmental conditions. Recirculation Mode (indicator on): Recirculates air from the vehicle’s interior through the system.
Fresh Air Mode (indicator off): Maintains outside ventilation. Keep the system in fresh air mode in normal situations.
