Operating tips
•To reduce fog build up on the windshield during humid weather, place
the air flow selector in the
position.
•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 start up or until the vehicle has been “aired out.”
•If you are driving during extreme high ambient temperatures and
idling for extended periods of time in gear, it is recommended to run
the A/C in the MAX A/C position, adjust the blower fan speed to the
lowest setting and put the vehicle’s transmission into the P (Park) to
continue to receive cool air from your A/C system.
•For maximum cooling performance MAX A/C:
In AUTO: Press AUTO control and set to desired temperature.
In Manual Override Control: Choose
(panel), A/C,
and
(recirculation) controls, set the temperature to 60°F (16°C) and
the fan to the highest blower setting.
•To aid in side window defogging/demisting in cold weather:
1. Select
.
2. Select A/C.
3. Adjust the temperature control to maintain comfort.
