MAX A/C Button
Press and release the MAX A/C button to
change the current setting. The indicator
illuminates when MAX A/C is on. Performing
this function again will cause the MAX A/C
operation to switch into manual mode and the MAX A/C
indicator will turn off.
NOTE:
The MAX A/C setting is only available on the
touchscreen.
A/C Button
Press and release the A/C button to change
the current setting. The indicator illuminates
when A/C is on.
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 accumula-
tion of dirt or insects. Clean with a gentle water
spray from the front of the radiator and through the
condenser.
Recirculation Button
Press and release this button to change the
system between recirculation mode and out-
side air mode. The Recirculation indicator
and the A/C indicator illuminate when the
Recirculation button is pressed. Recirculation can be
used when outside conditions such as smoke, odors,
dust, or high humidity are present. Recirculation can be
used in all modes except for Defrost. Recirculation may
be unavailable (button on the touchscreen grayed out)
if conditions exist that could create fogging on the
inside of the windshield. The A/C (Air Conditioning) can
be deselected manually without disturbing the mode
control selection. Continuous use of the Recirculation
mode may make the inside air stuffy and window fog-
ging may occur. Extended use of this mode is not rec-
ommended. Recirculation mode may automatically
adjust to optimize customer experience for warming,
cooling, dehumidification, etc.
On systems with Manual Climate Controls (if equipped),
the Recirculation mode is not allowed in Defrost mode
to improve window clearing operation. Recirculation is
disabled automatically if this mode is selected. Attempt-
ing to use Recirculation while in this mode causes the
LED in the control button to blink, and then turn off.
Front Defrost Button
Press and release the Front Defrost button
to change the current airflow setting to
Defrost mode. The indicator illuminates
when this feature is on. Air comes from the
windshield and side window demist outlets. When the
defrost button is selected, the blower level may
increase. Use Defrost mode with maximum tempera-
ture settings for best windshield and side window
defrosting and defogging. Performing this function will
cause the Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) to
switch into manual mode. If the Front Defrost mode is
turned off the climate system will return the previous
setting.
Rear Defrost Button
Push and release the Rear Defrost Control
button to turn on the rear window defroster
and the heated outside mirrors (if equipped).
An indicator will illuminate when the rear
window defroster is on. The rear window defroster auto-
matically turns off after 15 minutes.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these cautions can cause damage to
the heating elements:
•
Use care when washing the inside of the rear win-
dow. Do not use abrasive window cleaners on the
interior surface of the window. Use a soft cloth and
a mild washing solution, wiping parallel to the
heating elements. Labels can be peeled off after
soaking with warm water.
•
Do not use scrapers, sharp instruments, or abra-
sive window cleaners on the interior surface of the
window.
•
Keep all objects a safe distance from the window.
