(Air
Conditioning): Press this button to override
the automatic system and turn the air-conditioning
system on or

AUTO
the air-conditioning
compressor will come on automatically, as necessary.
On hot days, open the windows to let hot inside air
escape; then close them. This helps to reduce the time
it takes for your vehicle to cool down. It also helps
the system to operate more efficiently.
For quick cool down
on
hot days:
1.
Select the vent mode.
2.
Select the recirculation mode.
3.
Select NC.
4. Select the coolest temperature.
5.
Select the highest fan speed.
Using these settings together for long periods of time
may cause the air inside your vehicle to become too dry.
To prevent this from happening, after the air in your
vehicle has cooled, turn the recirculation mode off.
The air-conditioning system removes moisture from the
air,
so
you may sometimes notice a small amount of
water dripping underneath your vehicle while idling
or after turning
off the engine. This is normal.
If
your vehicle has the memory option, it can be used to
recall your climate control settings. For more information,
see
Climate Controls Personalization on page
