NOTE:

• If fog or mist appears on the windshield or side glass,

select Defrost mode and increase blower speed.

• If your air conditioning performance seems lower than

expected, check the front of the A/C condenser (lo-
cated in front of the radiator), for an accumulation of
dirt or insects. Clean with a gentle water spray from
behind the radiator and through the condenser. Fabric
front fascia protectors may reduce airflow to the
condenser, reducing air conditioning performance.

Recirculation

When outside air contains smoke, odors, or high
humidity, or if rapid cooling is desired, you may
wish to recirculate interior air by pressing the
Recirculation control button. The recirculation

indicator will illuminate when this button is selected. Push
the button a second time to turn off the Recirculation mode
and allow outside air into the vehicle.

NOTE:

In cold weather, use of Recirculation mode may

lead to excessive window fogging. The recirculation feature
may be unavailable (soft-key button greyed out). The
Recirculation mode is not allowed in Defrost mode to
improve window clearing operation. Recirculation will be
disabled automatically if this mode is selected. Attempting
to use Recirculation while in this mode will cause the LED
in the control button to blink and then turn off.

Automatic Temperature Control (ATC)

Automatic Operation

1. Press the AUTO hard-key or soft-key button (4) on the

Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) Panel.

2. Next, adjust the temperature you would like the system

to maintain by adjusting the driver and passenger tem-
perature hard or soft control buttons (7, 8, 13, 14). Once
the desired temperature is displayed, the system will
achieve and automatically maintain that comfort level.
