Dual Zone Temperature Control
Select a temperature for the passenger’s side using the rotary control on
the passenger’s side. Single zone temperature control automatically
switches off. The temperature on the driver’s side remains unchanged.
You can now adjust the driver’s side and passenger’s side temperatures
independently. The display shows the temperature settings for each side.
Switching Back to Single Zone Temperature Control
Press and hold AUTO for 2-4 seconds. The passenger’s side temperature
switches to the driver’s side temperature setting.
HINTS ON CONTROLLING THE INTERIOR CLIMATE
• To reduce fog build-up on the windshield during humid
weather, select defrost.
• To reduce humidity build-up inside the vehicle, avoid driving with the
system switched off unless you can open a window to help circulate
fresh air.
• 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.
• To improve the air conditioning cool down, drive with the windows
open for approximately 2–3 minutes after starting the vehicle or until
the vehicle has “aired out.”
• The air conditioning system cools both the interior of the vehicle and
the high voltage battery. In hot outside temperatures, the interior
temperature may temporarily increase if the high voltage battery
requires cooling. Keep the vehicle plugged in (when possible) to
allow automatic battery cooling in high temperature conditions.
• An electrical heater warms the interior. Set the fan at a lower speed to
get a warmer outlet temperature on cold days.
• You may feel a small amount of air from the floor vent regardless of
the air distribution setting.
Maximum Cooling Performance
Press MAX A/C. The system defaults to single zone operation and the
coldest temperature setting. LO appears in the display. Air conditioning
and recirculated air are on and fan speed increases to the highest speed.
You can adjust the fan speed while in this mode.
