following scenarios:
The climate control system is in AUTO
mode (indicator illuminated), and the
vehicle has yet to reach the set
temperature
The climate control system is in LO
maximum cooling
The climate control system is in HI
maximum heating
The climate control system is in the
MAX-DEF status
When the Stop/Start system is active,
the engine will restart if the inside
temperature changes significantly, or if
the LO setting, or MAX-DEF setting, is
activated.
With Stop/Start system on, air flow is
reduced to keep the compartment
comfort conditions for longer.
Until the temperature drastically
changes within the cabin, the climate
control system will continue to maintain
the temperature while the engine is off.
By deactivating the Stop/Start system
with the
button located on the dashboard, the climate control system
will take priority over the engine shutting
off.
Note:
In harsh climate conditions, limit the
use of the Stop/Start system to prevent
the compressor from continuously
switching on and off. This will cause
rapid misting of the windows and the
accumulation of humidity in the
passenger compartment.
When the Stop/Start system is on,
the climate control system will always
take air in from outside, reducing the
probability of the windows fogging up.
System Maintenance
In winter, the Climate Control System
must be turned on at least once a month
for approximately ten minutes.
Have the system inspected at an
authorized dealer before the summer.
