Operating tips
• To reduce fog build up on the windshield during humid weather, place

the air flow selector in the

position.

• To reduce humidity build up inside the vehicle: do not drive with the

system off or with recirculated air

engaged.

• Under normal weather conditions, do not leave the air flow selector in

A/C and recirculated air

or with the system off when the

vehicle is parked. This allows the vehicle to “breathe” using the
outside air inlet vents.

• To improve the A/C cool down, drive with the windows slightly open

for 2-3 minutes after start up or until the vehicle has been “aired out”.

• During extreme high ambient temperatures when idling stationary for

extended periods of time in gear, it is recommended to run the A/C
with recirculation mode

selected, turn off the rear A/C unit, reduce

blower fan speed from the highest setting and put the vehicle’s
transmission into the P (Park) position to continue to receive cool air
from your A/C system.

In AUTO: Press AUTO control and set to desired temperature.

In Manual Override: Press the

(panel), A/C, and recirculated

air

, set the temperature to 60°F (16°C) and the fan to the highest

blower setting.

• Do not put objects under the front seats that will interfere with the

airflow to the back seats.

• Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of

the windshield.
