Temperature control knob
Controls the temperature of the
airflow inside the vehicle.

The A/C compressor will only
function if the outside temperature
is above approximately 2°C (35°F)
•MAX A/C–Distributes recirculated air through the instrument panel
registers. Max A/C is noisier than A/C, but more economical and
efficient. This mode will reduce undesirable odors from entering the
vehicle. When placed in Max A/C, the A/C indicator will be illuminated
and cannot be manually disabled.
•
(Panel)–Distributes outside air through the instrument panel
registers. The system will allow some airflow through the floor ducts.
•
(Panel & Floor)—Distributes outside air through the
instrument panel registers and the floor ducts and side window
demisters. The air distributed through the floor ducts will be slightly
warmer than that sent to the instrument panel registers.
•O (Off)–Outside air is shut out and the fan will not operate. This
mode will reduce undesirable odors from entering the vehicle but may
increase the possibility of interior window fogging.

Operating tips
•To reduce fogging in humid weather conditions, unless in Defrost and
Floor & Defrost, press the A/C control before driving as the air
conditioning removes moisture form the air.
•To reduce humidity buildup inside the vehicle in warm weather
conditions, don’t drive with the climate control system in the OFF
position.
•To reduce humidity buildup inside the vehicle in cold weather
conditions, don’t drive with the climate control system in the
recirculation mode or OFF mode.
•Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the exterior base of the
windshield.
•To increase the efficiency of the A/C, drive with the windows slightly
open for 2–3 minutes after start up or until the vehicle has been
“aired out.”
•Do not place objects under the front seat or over the defroster ducts.
They may reduce visibility, fall into the ducts, or degrade the
performance of your climate control system.
Do not place objects on top of the instrument panel, as these
objects may become projectiles in a collision or sudden stop.
AUXILIARY CLIMATE CONTROLS

provides increased capacity to
quickly heat or cool the vehicle.
