Mix Mode
Air is directed through the floor, defrost, and
side window demister outlets. This setting
works best in cold or snowy conditions that
require extra heat to the windshield. This
setting is good for maintaining comfort while reducing
moisture on the windshield.
Climate Control OFF Button
Press and release this button on the touch-
screen, or push and release the button on
the blower knob to turn the Climate Control
ON/OFF.
MANUAL CLIMATE CONTROL
DESCRIPTIONS AND FUNCTIONS
MAX A/C Setting
Set the temperature control knob to the MAX
A/C setting to change the current setting to
the coldest output of air. Moving the tem-
perature control knob away from the MAX
A/C setting causes the MAX A/C operation to exit.
A/C Button
Push the A/C button to engage the Air Condi-
tioning (A/C). The A/C indicator illuminates
when A/C is on.
NOTE:
•
For Manual Climate Controls, if the system is in Mix,
Floor or Defrost 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 expected, check the front of the A/C condenser
(located in front of the radiator), for an accumula-
tion of dirt or insects. Clean with a gentle water
spray from the front of the radiator and through the
condenser.
Recirculation Button
Push the Recirculation button on the face-
plate to change the system between recircu-
lation mode and outside air mode. The Recir-
culation indicator and the A/C indicator
(if equipped) illuminate when the Recirculation button
is pressed. Recirculation can be used when outside
conditions such as smoke, odors, dust, or high humidity
are present. Recirculation can be used in all modes
except for Defrost. Recirculation may be unavailable if
conditions exist that could create fogging on the inside
of the windshield. The A/C can be deselected manually
without disturbing the mode control selection. Continu-
ous use of the Recirculation mode may make the inside
air stuffy and window fogging may occur. Extended use
of this mode is not recommended. On systems with
Manual Climate Controls, the Recirculation 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 on the control button to
blink and then turn off.
Front Defrost
Turn the Mode control knob to Front Defrost
to change the current airflow setting to
Defrost mode. The Front Defrost indicator
illuminates when Front Defrost is on. Air
comes from the windshield and side window demist
outlets. When the defrost button is selected, the blower
level may increase. Use Defrost mode with maximum
temperature settings for best windshield and side win-
dow defrosting and defogging. When toggling the front
defrost mode button, the Climate Control system will
return to the previous setting.
Rear Defrost Button
Push and release the Rear Defrost Control
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 10 minutes.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these cautions can cause damage to
the heating elements:
•
Use care when washing the inside of the rear win-
dow. 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.
•
Do not use scrapers, sharp instruments, or abra-
sive window cleaners on the interior surface of the
window.
•
Keep all objects a safe distance from the window.
