Honda HR-V: 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.
Models without SYNC icon
Use the system when the engine is running.
1. Select the AUTO icon.
2. Adjust the interior temperature using the temperature control icons.
3. Select the .png)
icon to cancel.
If any icons are selected while using the climate control system in auto, the function of the icon that was selected will take priority.
The AUTO indicator will go off, but functions unrelated to the icon that was selected will be controlled automatically.
To prevent cold air from blowing in from outside, the fan may not start immediately when the AUTO icon is selected.
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.
You can raise or lower the temperature or fan speed setting flicking either control icon.
Models with SYNC icon
Use the system when the engine is running.
1. Select the AUTO icon.
2. Adjust the interior temperature using the driver side temperature control icons.
3. Select the .png)

system between on and off. When turned on, the
