Climate Control Functions

A/C (Air Conditioning)

The Air Conditioning (A/C) button allows the operator
to manually activate or deactivate the air conditioning
system. When the air conditioning system is turned on,
cool dehumidified air will flow through the outlets into
the cabin. For improved fuel economy, press the A/C
button to turn off the air conditioning and manually
adjust the blower and airflow mode settings. Also, make
sure to select only Panel, Bi-Level or Floor modes.

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.

MAX A/C

MAX A/C sets the control for maximum cooling perfor-
mance.

Press and release to toggle between MAX A/C and the
prior settings. The soft-key illuminates when MAX A/C
is ON.

In MAX A/C, the blower level and mode position can be
adjusted to desired user settings. Pressing other settings
will cause the MAX A/C operation to switch to the prior
settings and the MAX A/C indicator will turn off.
