Honda Accord: 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.
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
control
buttons.
3. Press the 
(On/Off) button to
cancel.
• Switching between the recirculation and fresh air modes
Press the 
(recirculation) 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.
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.
To prevent cold air from blowing in from outside, the fan may not start immediately when the AUTO button is 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.
Pressing the 
button switches the
climate
control system between on and off. When turned on,
the system returns to your last selection.
• Defrosting the Windshield and Windows
Pressing the 
button turns the
air
conditioning system on and automatically
switches the system to fresh air mode.
Press the 
button again to turn off,
the
system returns to the previous settings.
• To rapidly defrost the windows
1. Press the 
button.
2. Press the 
button.
For your safety, make sure you have a clear view through all the windows before driving.
Do not set the temperature near the upper or lower limit.
When cold air hits the windshield, the outside of the windshield may fog up.
If the side windows fog up, adjust the vents so that the air hits the side windows.
After defrosting the windows, switch over to fresh air mode. If you keep the system in recirculation mode, the windows may fog up from humidity. This impedes visibility.
Synchronized Mode
You can set the temperature synchronously for the driver side and the
passenger
side in synchronized mode.
1. Press the SYNC button.
- The system will switch to the synchronized mode.
