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

select

(defrost).

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

system off or with recirculated air engaged.

• 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 slightly open

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

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

air distribution setting that is selected.

During extreme high ambient temperatures when idling stationary for
extended periods of time in gear, it is recommended to run the A/C in
MAX A/C, reduce blower fan speed from the highest setting and put the
vehicle’s transmission in P (Park) to continue to receive cool air from
your A/C system.

For maximum cooling performance (MAX A/C):

1. Press MAX A/C. The system will default to single-zone operation and
set the temperature to 59°F (15°C) and Lo will appear in the display.

2. A/C,

and

will be selected.

3. Fan speed will be increased to the highest speed, but can be adjusted
as desired.
