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 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.

NOTE:

•

For Manual Climate Controls, if the system is in Mix or
Defrost Mode, the A/C can be turned off.

•

If fog or mist appears on the windshield or side glass,
select Defrost mode and increase blower speed.

•

If your air conditioning performance seems lower than
expected, check the front of the A/C condenser (lo-
cated in front of the radiator), for an accumulation of

dirt or insects. Clean with a gentle water spray from
behind the radiator and through the condenser. Fabric
front fascia protectors may reduce airflow to the
condenser, reducing air conditioning performance.

Recirculation 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

recirculation indicator will illuminate when this button is
selected. Push 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
mode is not allowed in Mix, Floor and Defrost modes to
improve window clearing operation. Recirculation will
be disabled automatically if these modes are selected.
