Honda Civic Owners Manual: Using Automatic Climate Control

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 temperature control dial.
3. Press the 
(on/off) button to
cancel.

Press the CLIMATE button to display A/C, MODE, fan control information on the audio/information screen for several seconds. Select icon to turn on or off A/C, change the vent mode, or change the fan speed.
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 were 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.
Use the system when the engine is running.
