GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 53
Climate Control Functions
A/C (Air Conditioning)
The Air Conditioning (A/C) button allows the
operator to manually activate or deactivate the
air conditioning system. When the air condi-
tioning 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 manu-
ally 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 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
accumulation of dirt or insects. Clean with a
gentle water spray from the front of the radiator
and through the condenser.
MAX A/C
MAX A/C sets the control for maximum cooling
performance.
In MAX A/C, the blower level 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.
Recirculation
In cold weather, use of Recirculation mode may
lead to excessive window fogging. The Recircu-
lation feature may be unavailable (button on
the touchscreen greyed out) if conditions exist
that could create fogging on the inside of the
windshield.
On systems with Manual Climate Controls, if
equipped, 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 in the control button to
blink and then turns off.
Driver Temperature Knob
Provides the driver with independent temperature control. Rotate the adjustment knob to set desired temperature
shown in the Temperature Display. Rotate fully counterclockwise for maximum A/C (LO). The set temperature is shown
on the display. Turning the control knob completely in one direction or the other activates the HI (maximum heating) or
LO (maximum cooling) functions shown in the display, respectively. To deactivate these functions, turn the temperature
knob to the desired temperature.
