cle can build up in the air conditioner unit.

ment through the vents.

conditioner controls to turn off air
recirculation to allow fresh air into the
passenger compartment. This should
help reduce odors inside the vehicle.

trol system will automatically adjust the
passenger compartment to be the set
appropriate temperature when the Re-
mote Engine Start feature is used.

conditioning system refrigerant and lubri-
cant recommendations.
