Climate Control System Compressor
Push the A/C Control button to activate/
deactivate the compressor (activation is indicated
by the LED on the button turning on).
T
he system remembers that the compressor has
been turned off, even after the engine has stopped.
Pushing the A/C button will stop AUTO MODE
(AUTO LED will turn off). To restore automatic
control of compressor, push the AUTO button
again.
NOTE:
With the compressor off, air cannot be intro-
duced to the passenger compartment with a
temperature lower than the outside tempera-
ture. Under certain environmental conditions,
windows could fog rapidly since the air is not
dehumidified.
MAX A/C
MAX A/C sets the system for maximum cooling
performance.
Rotate the driver temperature control adjust
knob counterclockwise for MAX A/C. Both driver
and passenger temperature displays will show
MAX A/C LO.
In MAX A/C, the blower speed and mode
position can be adjusted to desired user settings.
Pressing other settings will cause the MAX A/C
operation to switch to the selected setting and
MAX A/C to exit.
Rapid Window Demisting (MAX-Defrost
Function)
Push the MAX-defrost button to activate (LED
on) t he windshield and side window demisting
function.
The Climate Control system carries out the
following operations:
• Turns on the air conditioning compressor when
environmental conditions are suitable.
• Turns air recirculation off.
• Sets blower fan to the maximum speed.
• Directs air flow to windshield and front side
window diffusers.
• Activates the heated rear window defrost.
• Activates the heated windshield (if equipped).
• Displays the fan speed (Blower Control Indica-
tor LED illuminated).
When the function is activated, t he AUTO button
LED turns off. With the function activated, the
only possible manual adjustments are pushing the
A/C control button, adjusting the fan speed and
turning the heated rear window off.
When the Recirculation Control or AUTO buttons
are pushed, the Climate Control system will deac-
tivate the Front Defrost (MAX-DEF) function.
Selecting the footwell/windshield or only wind-
shield distribution activates the Climate Control
system compressor and the air recirculation is set
to outside air intake.

dows. Max-defrost is also available in manual mode.
