See the navigation system manual for complete details. Personalization Setting When you unlock the doors with your remote transmitter (keyless access remote on models with navigation system), the driver’s ID (Driver 1 or Driver 2) is detected, and the climate control settings are turned to the respective mode automatically with the ignition switch in the ON (II) position, or the power mode ON. 228 Using Automatic Climate Control The automatic climate control system in your vehicle picks the proper combination of air conditioning, heating, and ventilation to maintain the interior temperature you select, and to remove moisture from the air and make the interior dry. The system also adjusts the fan speed and airflow levels. 1. Press the Driver’s or Passenger’s AUTO button. You will see AUTO and the selected temperature on the appropriate side of the display (in the center display on models with navigation system). 2. Set the desired temperature with the temperature control switch. You can set the driver’s side temperature and the passenger’s side temperature separately. The system automatically selects the proper mix of conditioned and/or heated air that will, as quickly as possible, raise or lower the interior temperature to your preference. The system also dehumidifies the interior. TemperatureControl The driver’s side temperature and the passenger’s side temperature can be set separately. Push up the switch of the appropriate temperature control to increase the temperature of airflow. Push down the switch to decrease it. Each set temperature is shown in the display (in the center display on models with navigation system). 2012 TL11/01/14 18:33:32 31TK4630_234 When you set the temperature to its lower limit ( ) or its upper limit cooling or heating only. It does not regulate the interior temperature. ), the system runs at full When you adjust a fan control, the fan is taken out of AUTO mode. You can also select the appropriate mode on the driver’s side and the passenger’s side separately. To change a mode, press and release the appropriate side mode control button. This will take the mode control out of AUTO mode. Onmodelswithnavigationsystem In AUTO mode, the vehicle’s interior temperature is independently regulated for the driver and front passenger according to each adjusted temperature. The system also regulates each temperature based on the information of the sunlight sensor and the sun’s Climate Control System position which is updated automatically by the navigation’s global positioning system (GPS). If one side of the vehicle is getting too much sun, the system lowers the temperature only on that side. ON/OFFButton Each time you press this button, the climate control system switches between on and off. Turning on the system with this button selects your last climate control selection. SYNCButton When you press this button, the indicator in the button comes on, and the passenger’s side temperature and mode control is synchronized to the driver’s side set temperature and mode control. Changing the passenger’s side temperature or mode control makes the indicator go off and takes the system out of SYNC mode. To Turn Everything Off To turn the system completely off, press the ON/OFF button. Keep the system completely off for short periods only. To keep stale air and mustiness from collecting, you should have the fan running at all times. 229 2012 TL11/01/14 18:33:47 31TK4630_235 Climate Control System Semi-automatic Operation You can manually select various functions of the climate control system when it is in fully automatic mode.

Press the button to increase the button to decrease it. 230 AirConditioning(A/C)Button This button turns the air conditioning on and off. You will see A/C ON or A/C OFF in the display (in the center display on models with navigation system). When you turn the A/C off, the system cannot regulate the inside temperature if you set the temperature control below the outside temperature. RecirculationButton When the indicator in the button is on, air from the vehicle’s interior is sent through the system again. When the indicator is off, air is brought in from the outside of the vehicle (fresh air mode). The outside air intakes for the climate control system are at the base of the windshield. Keep this area clear of leaves and other debris. The system should be left in fresh air mode under almost all conditions. Keeping the system in recirculation mode, particularly with the A/C off, can cause the windows to fog up. Switch to recirculation mode when driving through dusty or smoky conditions, then return to fresh air mode. 2012 TL11/01/14 18:34:06 31TK4630_236 Air flows from the floor vents. Airflow is divided between the vents in the dashboard and the back of the center console, and the floor vents. Air flows from the center and corner vents in the dashboard, and the vents on the back of the center console. Each time you press the mode control button, the display shows the mode selected. RearWindowDefoggerButton This button turns the rear window defogger on and off (see page 145 ). Pushing this button also turns the power mirror heaters on and off. ModeControls The driver’s side mode and the passenger’s side mode can be selected separately. Use the appropriate mode control button to select the vents the air flows from. Some air will flow from the dashboard vents in all modes. Airflow is divided between the floor and corner vents and the defroster vents at the base of the windshield. This mode can only be selected from the driver’s side, however the passenger’s side controls can still change the temperature. Climate Control System WindshieldDefrosterButton This button directs the main airflow to the windshield for faster defrosting. It also overrides any mode selection you may have made. When you select , the system automatically switches to fresh air mode and turns on the A/C. For faster defrosting, the fan speed automatically increases. You can also increase airflow to the windshield by closing the corner vents on the dashboard. To close the vents, rotate the wheel on the side of each corner vent. Select window. to help clear the rear When you turn off by pressing the button again, the system returns to its former settings.

When the indicator in the button is on, the SYNC indicator also comes on. The front passenger’s temperature cannot be set separately from the driver’s. Dual Temperature and Mode Control Your vehicle has two temperature control switches and two mode control buttons, one for the driver, and one for the front passenger. The driver’s side and the passenger’s side temperature and mode can be controlled independently.

Climate Control Sensors SUNLIGHT SENSOR You can adjust the direction of the airflow by moving the tab on each vent up-and-down and side-to-side. You can also open or close the vents with the dial between them. TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY SENSOR The humidity sensor helps reduce window fogging and also monitors and adjusts cabin humidity by automatically changing the mode to Defrost. The climate control system has two sensors: a sunlight sensor on top of the dashboard, and a temperature and humidity sensor next to the steering column. Do not cover the sensors or spill any liquid on them. 234 2012 TL11/01/17 13:13:17 31TK4630_240 An audio system is standard on all models.

To help compensate for this, ground-based repeaters are placed in major metropolitan areas. Satellite signals are more likely to be blocked by tall buildings and mountains the farther north you travel from the equator. Carrying large items on a roof rack can also block the signal. Depending on where you drive, you may experience reception problems. Interference can be caused by any of these conditions: Driving on the north side of an east/west mountain road. Driving on the north side of a large commercial truck on an east/west road. Driving in tunnels. Driving on a road beside a vertical wall, steep cliff, or hill to the south of you.
