Climate Control Functions
A/C (Air Conditioning)
The Air Conditioning (A/C) button allows the operator to
manuall
y activate or deactivate the air conditioning system.
When the air conditioning system is turned on, cool dehu
-
midified air will flow through the outlets into the cabin. For
improve
d fuel economy, press the A/C button to turn off the
air conditioning and manually adjust the blower and airflow
mode settings. Also, make sure to select only Panel, Bi-Level,
or Floor modes.
NOTE:
• For Manual Climate Controls, if the system is in Mix, Floor
or Def
rost Mode, the A/C can be turned off, but the A/C
system shall remain active to prevent fogging of the
windows.
• If fog or mist appears on the windshield or side glass,
select
Defrost mode, and increase blower speed if needed.
• If your air conditioning performance seems lower than
expect
ed, check the front of the A/C condenser (located in
front of the radiator), for an accumulation of dirt or insects.
Clean with a gentle water spray from the front of the radi
-
ator and through the condenser.
MAX A/C
MAX A/C sets the control for maximum cooling perfor-
mance.
Press and release to toggle between MAX A/C and the prior
s
ettings
. The button illuminates when MAX A/C is on.
In MAX A/C, the blower level and mode position can be
adjuste
d 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.
Recirculation
In cold weather, use of Recirculation mode may lead to
excessi
ve window fogging. The Recirculation feature may be
unavailable (button on the touchscreen greyed out) if condi
-
tions exist that could create fogging on the inside of the
windshie
ld.
On systems with Manual Climate Controls, if equipped, the
Recircu
lation mode is not allowed in Defrost mode to
improve window clearing operation. Recirculation is
disabled automatically if this mode is selected. Attempting
to use Recirculation while in this mode causes the LED in the
control button to blink and then turns off.
