GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
NOTE:
If your air conditioning performance seems
lower than expected, check the front of the A/C
condenser (located in front of the radiator), for
an accumulation of dirt or insects. Clean with a
gentle water spray from the front of the radiator
and through the condenser.
SYNC Button
Push the Sync button to toggle the
Sync feature on/off. The Sync
indicator illuminates when Sync is on.
Sync synchronizes the passenger
temperature setting with the driver temperature
setting. Changing the passenger temperature
setting while in Sync mode will automatically
exit this feature and return to the separate
management of air temperatures in the two
zones.
Recirculation Button
Press and release this button to
change the system between
Recirculation mode and outside air
mode. The Recirculation indicator
illuminates when Recirculation is on.
Recirculation can be used when outside
conditions such as smoke, odors, dust, or high
humidity are present. Recirculation can be used
in all modes. Recirculation may be unavailable
if conditions exist that could create fogging on
the inside of the windshield. Continuous use of
the Recirculation mode may make the inside air
stuffy and window fogging may occur. Extended
use of this mode is not recommended.
In cold weather, use of Recirculation mode may
lead to excessive window fogging. The
Recirculation feature may be unavailable if
conditions exist that could create fogging on the
inside of the windshield.
AUTO Button
Set your desired temperature and
press AUTO. AUTO will achieve and
maintain your desired temperature by
automatically adjusting the blower
speed and air distribution. AUTO mode is highly
recommended for efficiency. Push the button
on the faceplate to turn AUTO on. The AUTO
indicator illuminates when AUTO is on. Toggling
this function will cause the system to switch
between manual mode and automatic mode
MAX Defrost Button
Push the MAX Defrost button to
change the current airflow setting to
Defrost mode. The MAX Defrost
indicator illuminates when MAX
Defrost is on. Performing this function will
cause the automatic climate controls to change
to manual mode. The blower speed increases to
full (all LEDs on) when MAX Defrost mode is
selected, the air conditioning compressor is
turned on (LED on), both driver and passenger
temperature controls are set to (HI), defrost
mode is selected (LED on), rear defroster is
turned on (LED on) and the air recirculation is
turned off (LED off). If the MAX Defrost mode is
turned off, the climate system will return to the
previous setting.
Rear Defrost Button
Push the Rear Defrost button to turn
on the rear window defroster and the
heated outside mirrors (if equipped).
The Rear Defrost indicator illuminates
when the rear window defroster is on. The rear
window defroster automatically turns off after
20 minutes.
