36 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
(Continued)
A/C Button
Push the A/C Control button to change the
current setting. The A/C indicator illuminates
when A/C is on. Pushing the AUTO control
button will cause the A/C operation to change
to AUTO mode and the A/C indicator will turn off.
The Air Conditioning (A/C) button allows the operator to
manually activate or deactivate the air conditioning
system. When the air conditioning system is turned on,
cool dehumidified air will flow through the outlets into the
cabin. For improved 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:
If your air conditioning performance seems lower than
expected, 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
radiator and through the condenser.
SYNC Button
Push the Sync button to toggle the Sync feature
on/off. The Sync indicator illuminates when
Sync is on. Sync synchronizes the passenger
temperature setting with the driver
temperature setting. Changing the passenger
temperature setting while in Sync mode will automatically
exit this feature and return to the separate management
of air temperatures in the two zones.
Recirculation Button
Press and release this button to change the
system between Recirculation mode and
outside air mode. The Recirculation indicator
illuminates when Recirculation is on.
Recirculation can be used when outside conditions such
as smoke, odors, dust, or high humidity are present.
Recirculation can be used in all modes. Recirculation may
be unavailable if conditions exist that could create fogging
on the inside of the windshield. Continuous use of the
Recirculation mode may make the inside air stuffy and
window fogging may occur. Extended use of this mode is
not recommended. Recirculation mode may automatically
adjust to optimize customer experience for warming,
cooling, dehumidification, etc.
In cold weather, use of Recirculation mode may lead to
excessive window fogging. The Recirculation feature may
be unavailable if conditions exist that could create fogging
on the inside of the windshield.
AUTO Button
Set your desired temperature and press AUTO.
AUTO will achieve and maintain your desired
temperature by automatically adjusting the
blower speed and air distribution. AUTO mode
is highly recommended for efficiency. Air Conditioning
(A/C) may be active during AUTO operation to improve
performance. Push the button on the faceplate to turn
AUTO on. The AUTO indicator illuminates when AUTO is on.
Toggling this function will cause the system to switch
between manual mode and automatic mode
Ú page 40.
MAX Defrost Button
Push the MAX Defrost button to change the
current airflow setting to Defrost mode.
The MAX Defrost indicator illuminates when
MAX Defrost is on. Performing this function will
cause the automatic climate controls to change to manual
mode. The blower speed increases to full (all LEDs on)
when MAX Defrost mode is selected, the air conditioning
compressor is turned on (LED on), both driver and
passenger temperature controls are set to (HI), defrost
mode is selected (LED on), rear defroster is turned on
(LED on) and the air recirculation is turned off (LED off).
If the MAX Defrost mode is turned off, the climate system
will return to the previous setting.
Rear Defrost Button
Push the Rear Defrost button to turn on the
rear window defroster and the heated outside
mirrors (if equipped). The Rear Defrost
indicator illuminates when the rear window
defroster is on. The rear window defroster automatically
turns off after 20 minutes.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these cautions can cause damage to
the heating elements:
Use care when washing the inside of the rear
window. Do not use abrasive window cleaners on the
interior surface of the window. Use a soft cloth and a
mild washing solution, wiping parallel to the heating
elements. Labels can be peeled off after soaking
with warm water.
