Climate Control OFF Button
This button turns the Climate Control System off.
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).
The 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 compres-
sor, push the AUTO button again.
NOTE: With the compressor off, air cannot be introduced
to the passenger compartment with a temperature lower
than the outside temperature. Under certain environmental
conditions, windows could fog rapidly since the air is not
dehumidified.
Rapid Window Demisting (MAX-Defrost Function)
Push the MAX-defrost button to activate (LED on) the
windshield and side window demisting function.
The Climate Control system carries out the following
operations:
• Turns on the air conditioning compressor when environ-
mental conditions are suitable.
• Turns air recirculation off.
• Sets blower fan to the maximum speed.
• Directs air flow to windshield and front side window
diffusers.
When the Recirculation Control or AUTO buttons are
pushed, the Climate Control system will deactivate the
Front Defrost (MAX-DEF) function.
Selecting the footwell/windshield or only windshield dis-
tribution activates the Climate Control system compressor
and the air recirculation is set to outside air intake.
This logic guarantees optimum visibility at the windows.
Max-defrost is also available in manual mode.
