Wireless Charger

*

This system consumes a lot of power. Do not use the 
system for a long time when the engine is not 
running. This may weaken the battery, making it 
difficult to start the engine.

When using the wireless charger, check the user’s 
manual that came with the compatible device you 
want to charge.

NOTICE

Do not place any magnetic recording media or 
precision machines within the charging area while 
charging.
The data on your cards such as credit cards can be 
lost because of the magnetic effect. Also precision 
machines such as watches can go wrong.

Not all devices are compatible with the system.

During the charging phase, it is normal for the 
charging area and device to heat up.

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 raises or lowers 
the interior temperature to your preference as quickly as possible.

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.

3. Press the 

 (On/Off) button to cancel.

Using Automatic Climate Control

If any buttons/icons on the touch screen are pressed 
while using the climate control system in auto, the 
function of the button/icon that was pressed will take 
priority.
The AUTO indicator will go off, but functions 
unrelated to the button/icon 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 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 air 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.
