Climate Control Functions
A/C (Air Conditioning)
The Air Conditioning (A/C) button allows the operator to
manually activate or deactivate the air conditioning sys-
tem. When the air conditioning system is turned on, cool
dehumidified air will flow through the outlets into the
cabin. For improved fuel economy, push 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:
•For Manual Climate Controls, if the system is in Mix,
Floor or Defrost Mode, the A/C can be turned off, but
the A/C system shall remain active to prevent fogging of
the windows.
• If fog or mist appears on the windshield or side glass,
select Defrost mode, and increase blower speed if
needed.
• If your air conditioning performance seems lower than
expected, check the front of the A/C condenser (located
in front of the radiator), for an accumulation of dirt or
insects. Clean with a gentle water spray from the front of
the radiator and through the condenser. Recirculation
In cold weather, use of Recirculation mode may lead to
excessive window fogging. The Recirculation feature may
be unavailable (button on the touchscreen greyed out) if
conditions exist that could create fogging on the inside of
the windshield.
Automatic Temperature Control (ATC)
Automatic Operation
1. Push the AUTO button on the faceplate.
2. Next, adjust the temperature you would like the system
to maintain by adjusting the temperature control but-
tons. Once the desired temperature is displayed, the
system achieves and automatically maintains that com-
fort level.
3. When the system is set up for your comfort level, it is not necessary to change the settings. You experience the
greatest efficiency by simply allowing the system to
function automatically.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 71
NOTE:
•It is not necessary to move the temperature settings for
cold or hot vehicles. The system automatically adjusts
the temperature, mode, and blower speed to provide
comfort as quickly as possible.
• The temperature can be displayed in U.S. or Metric units
by selecting the US/Metric customer-programmable fea-
ture.
To provide you with maximum comfort in the Automatic
mode during cold start-ups, the blower fan remains on low
until the vehicle warms up. The blower increases in speed
and transition into Auto mode.
Manual Operation Override
This system offers a full complement of manual override
features. The AUTO symbol in the front ATC display will
be turned off when the system is being used in the manual
mode.
NOTE: The system will not automatically sense the pres-
ence of fog, mist or ice on the windshield. Defrost mode
must be manually selected to clear the windshield and side
glass.
Operating Tips
NOTE: Refer to the chart at the end of this section for
suggested control settings for various weather conditions.
Summer Operation
The vehicle cooling system must be protected with a
high-quality antifreeze coolant to provide proper corrosion
protection and to protect against vehicle overheating. OAT
coolant (conforming to MS.90032) is recommended.
Winter Operation
To ensure the best possible heater and defroster perfor-
mance, make sure the vehicle cooling system is functioning
properly and the proper amount, type, and concentration
of coolant is used. Use of the Air Recirculation mode
during Winter months is not recommended, because it may
cause window fogging.
Vacation/Storage
Before you store your vehicle, or keep it out of service (i.e.,
vacation) for two weeks or more, run the air conditioning
system at idle for about five minutes, in fresh air with the
blower setting on high. This ensures adequate system
lubrication to minimize the possibility of compressor dam-
age when the system is started again.

• The instrument cluster display shows messages, when
the appropriate conditions exist. Refer to “Instrument
Cluster Display” in “Getting To Know Your Instru-
ment Panel” for further information.
4. Power Flow Gauge
This gauge indicates how battery energy is being used by
the vehicle: •ECO Mode (Green): The vehicle is conserving energy.
• POWER Mode (Red): The vehicle is utilizing energy.
• CHARGE Mode (Purple): The vehicle is regenerating
energy.
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DISPLAY
Your vehicle may be equipped with an instrument cluster
display, which offers useful information to the driver. With
the ignition in the STOP/OFF position, opening/closing of
a door will activate the display for viewing, and display
the total miles, or kilometers, in the odometer. The instru-
ment cluster display is designed to display important
information about the vehicle’s systems and features. Us-
ing a driver interactive display located on the instrument
panel, your instrument cluster display can show you how
systems are working and give you warnings when they aren’t. The steering wheel mounted controls allow you to
scroll through and enter the main menus and submenus.
You can access the specific information you want and make
selections and adjustments.
Instrument Cluster Display And Controls

This indicates the distance which may be travelled with the
remaining battery charge, assuming that driving condi-
tions will not change. The message “----” will appear when
the system is initializing.
NOTE: The range depends on several factors: driving style,
type of route (freeway, residential, mountain roads, etc.),
conditions of use of the car (load, tire pressure, etc.). Trip
planning must take into account the above notes.
