Climate Control Functions
Air Conditioning (A/C)
The Air Conditioning (A/C) button allows the
operator to manually activate or deactivate the
air conditioning system. When in A/C mode with
the ATC set to a cool temperature, dehumidified
air flows through the air outlets. If Economy
mode is desired, push the A/C button to turn off
the A/C mode in the Automatic Temperature
Control (ATC) display and deactivate the
A/C system.
NOTE:
If the system is in Mix 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 not operating in AUTO mode, the system
will not automatically sense the presence of
fog, mist or ice on the windshield. Defrost
Mode must be manually selected to clear the
windshield and side glass.
If fog or mist appears on the windshield or
side glass, select Defrost Mode and adjust
blower speed if needed.
Recirculation For Automatic Temperature
Control
When outside air contains smoke, odors, or
high humidity, or if rapid cooling is desired, you
may wish to recirculate interior air by pressing
the Recirculation control button. The recircula-
tion indicator will illuminate when this button is
selected. Press the button a second time to turn
off the Recirculation mode and allow outside air
into the vehicle.
NOTE:
In cold weather, use of recirculation mode may
lead to excessive window fogging. The recirculation
feature may be unavailable (button on the touch-
screen greyed out) if conditions exist that could
create fogging on the inside of the windshield. On
systems with Manual Climate Controls, the Recir-
culation mode is not allowed in Defrost Mode to
improve window clearing operation. Recirculation
will be disabled automatically if this mode is
selected. Attempting to use Recirculation while in
this mode will cause the LED in the control button
to blink and then turn off.
AUTO Button
Automatically controls the interior cabin temperature by adjusting airflow distribution and amount. Performing this function
will cause the system to switch between manual mode and automatic modes.
Refer to “Automatic Operation” within this section for more information.
Rear Climate Control/Blower Off
To manually set the rear blower controls to off, press the Rear Climate Control/Blower Off button.
