System Maintenance
In winter, the climate control system must be
turned on at least once a month for about ten
minutes
.
Have the system inspected at an authorized
dealership before the summer
.
NOTE:
The system uses R-1234yf coolant which does
not pollute the environment in the event of
accidental leakage
.
Under no circumstances is the
use of R-134a allowed
.
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, push the A/C button to
turn off the air conditioning and manually adjust
the blower and airflow mode settings
.
Also, make
sure to select only Panel, Bi-Level or Floor modes
.
NOTE:
• 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 radia-
tor), for an accumulation of dirt or insects
.
Clean with a gentle water spray from the front
of the radiator and through the condenser
.
Recirculation
When outside air contains smoke, odors, or high
humidity, or if rapid cooling is desired, you may
wish to recirculate interior air by pushing the
Recirculation control button
.
The recirculation
indicator will illuminate when this button is se-
lected
.
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 recircula-
tion feature may be unavailable (button on the
touchscreen greyed out) if conditions exist that
could create fogging on the inside of the wind-
shield
.
On systems with Manual Climate Controls,
the Recirculation 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 light in the
control button to blink and then turn off
.
Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) — If
Equipped
Automatic Operation
1
.
Push the AUTO button on the faceplate
.
2
.
Next, adjust the temperature you would like
the system to maintain by adjusting the driver
and passenger temperature control buttons
.
Once the desired temperature is displayed, the
system will achieve and automatically maintain
that comfort level
.
