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 indi-
cated 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 compressor, push the
AUTO button again.
NOTE:
With the compressor off, air cannot be intro-
duced to the passenger compartment with a
temperature lower than the outside tempera-
ture. Under certain environmental condi-
tions, windows could fog rapidly since the air
is not dehumidified.
Rapid Window Demisting (MAX-Defrost Func-
tion)
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 environmental conditions are suit-
able.
• 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 but-
tons are pushed, the Climate Control system
will deactivate the Front Defrost (MAX-DEF)
function.
Selecting the footwell/windshield or only
windshield distribution activates the Climate
Control system compressor and the air recir-
culation is set to outside air intake.
This logic guarantees optimum visibility at
the windows. Max-defrost is also available in
manual mode.
Rear Window Defrosting
Push and release the rear window defrost
button to turn the function on/off.
Activation of this function is indicated by the
rear defrost indicator light on the instrument
panel turning on. If equipped, push the rear
defrost button to activate the defrosting of
door mirrors and heated rear window.
