Air Recirculation And Air Quality System (AQS)Air Recirculation is managed according
to the following operating mode:
Automatic engagement: indicator is
illuminated above the “A” on the Air Recircu -
lation Button
Forced activation (air circulation always
activated): indicator illuminated above the
icon on the Air Recirculation Button
Forced deactivation (air recirculation always
off with intake of outside air): both indicators
not illuminated on the Air Recirculation Button
The three operating conditions are obtained by
pushing the Air Recirculation Button in
sequence.
Enabling The Air Quality System (AQS) Function —
If Equipped
When the automatic recirculation function is
selected, the AQS function automatically
activates internal air recirculation when the
outside air is polluted (e.g. in heavy traffic and
tunnels).
At low external temperatures or in high humidity,
the automatic function turns off to avoid fogging
up the windows. The user can select the function
again by pushing the Air Recirculation Button.
In automatic operation, air recirculation will be
controlled by the system according to outside
environmental conditions.

NOTE:

With the AQS function active and after the
internal air recirculation system has been
functioning for a set amount of time, the
Climate Control System enables air intake to
cycle the air in the passenger compartment for
a set time. The AQS function is disabled during
the air changes.
The engagement of the recirculation system
makes it possible to reach the required
heating or cooling conditions faster. It is,
however, inadvisable to use it on rainy/cold
days as it can increase the possibility of the
windows fogging. When the outside
temperature is low, recirculation is forced off
to prevent the windows from fogging up.
Front Defrost Air comes from the windshield and side
window demist outlets. Use Defrost
mode with maximum temperature
settings for best windshield and side
window defrosting and defogging.
Rear Defrost
Push the Rear Defrost button to activate
(indicator illuminated) the Rear Defrost.
The Rear Defrost will turn off after 20 minutes or
once the engine is turned off.

NOTE:
To avoid damage, do not apply stickers over the
interior heating filaments of the Rear Defrost. Front Defrost And MAX-DEF Function
Push the MAX-DEF button (indicator
illuminated) to defrost the windshield
and side windows.
While in MAX-DEF function, the air conditioner
will:
Activate the air conditioner compressor when
the weather allows
Turn air recirculation off
Set the maximum air temperature (HI) on both
the driver and passenger side
Activate a blower speed based on the
temperature of the engine coolant
Adjust the air flow towards the windshield and
front side windows
Activate the Rear Window Defrost
Display the fan speed (indicators illuminated)
and current air distribution setting

NOTE:
The MAX-DEF function remains active for approx -
imately three minutes once the engine coolant
reaches the proper temperature.
When the function is on, AUTO mode will
deactivate. The only manual operations possible
are adjusting blower speed and turning off the
Rear Window Defrost.
Pushing the button switches off the MAX-DEF
function.

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 by the
headlight switch), the climate control system
operates normally according to the settings.

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 prevent 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 months, 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.
