Climate Control System Compressor
Push the A/C Control button to activate/deactivate the
compressor (activation is indicated 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 compres-
sor, push the AUTO button again.
NOTE: With the compressor off, air cannot be introduced
to the passenger compartment with a temperature lower
than the outside temperature. Under certain environmental
conditions, windows could fog rapidly since the air is not
dehumidified.

mance.

perature displays will show MAX A/C LO.

setting and MAX A/C to exit.
