Automatic climate

Set a target temperature once and the system manages fan speed, airflow direction, and AC to hold it. AUTO is usually the right button.

Defroster shortcuts

The dedicated defrost buttons combine AC, fan, and airflow direction in one press. Front and rear defrost typically toggle independently.

Zones and seats

Dual zone lets driver and passenger pick different temperatures. Heated and ventilated seat controls sometimes cycle through levels rather than showing them all at once.
