In Winter, the Climate Control system must be 
turned on at least once a month for about 
10 minutes.
Have the system inspected at an authorized 
dealer before the Summer.
A/C Button
Push the A/C button to engage the

conditioning system is turned on, cool 
dehumidified air will flow through the outlets 
into the cabin.
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 radi -
ator), for an accumulation of dirt or insects. 
Clean with a gentle water spray from the front 
of the radiator and through the condenser.
