13. OFF: Outside air is shut out and the climate system is turned off.
14. Driver temperature control: Press to increase or decrease the
temperature on the driver side of the cabin. Sets the passenger side
temperature also when DUAL is disengaged. Note: The recommended
vehicle cabin setting is between 72°F (22°C) and 75°F (24°C).
15. AUTO: Press to engage full automatic operation, and select the
desired temperature using the temperature control. The system will
automatically determine fan speed, airflow location, A/C on or off, and
outside or recirculated air, to heat or cool the vehicle to reach the
desired temperature.
16. A/C: Press to activate/deactivate air conditioning. Use with
recirculated air to improve cooling performance and efficiency. Engages
automatically in AUTO,
(defrost), and (floor/defrost).
17. EXT: Press to display the outside temperature. Press again to display
cabin temperature settings. Note: Exterior readings are more accurate
when the vehicle is moving.
18. Recirculated air: Press to activate/deactivate air recirculation
in the vehicle cabin. Recirculated air may reduce the amount of time to
cool down the interior of the vehicle and may also help reduce undesired
odors from reaching the interior of the vehicle. Recirculated air can be
engaged manually in any airflow selection except
. Recirculated air
may turn off automatically in all airflow selections.
Operating tips
• To reduce fog build-up on the windshield during humid weather, place
the air flow selector in the position.
• To reduce humidity build-up inside the vehicle: do not drive with the
system off or with recirculated air engaged.
• Under normal weather conditions, do not leave the air flow selector in
A/C and recirculated air or with the system off when the
vehicle is parked. This allows the vehicle to “breathe” using the
outside air inlet vents.
• Do not put objects under the front seats that will interfere with the
airflow to the back seats.
• Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of
the windshield.
• To improve the A/C cool down, drive with the windows slightly open
for 2-3 minutes after start up or until the vehicle has been “aired out.”
