Switching Mono Mode Back On

Press and hold the AUTO button. The passenger’s side temperature is
adjusted to the driver’s side temperature setting.

Operating Tips

• 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 a window can be opened 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 A/C cool down, drive with the windows open for

approximately 2–3 minutes after starting the vehicle or until the
vehicle has “aired out.”

• The A/C system is used to cool both the interior of the vehicle and the

high voltage battery. In hot outside temperatures, interior cooling may
be temporarily reduced if the high voltage battery requires cooling.
Keep the vehicle plugged in (when possible) to allow automatic
battery cooling in high temperature conditions.

• Interior heating is done by an electrical heater. Set the fan at a lower

speed to get a warmer outlet temperature on cold days.

• A small amount of air may be felt from the floor vent regardless of the

air distribution setting that is selected.
