Climate Controls 8-3
# (Air Conditioning): Press to
turn the air conditioning system on
or off. An indicator light comes on
when A/C is on. The air conditioning
system does not operate when
the outside temperature is below
4°C (40°F). The indicator light
flashes three times and turns off
when outside conditions affect air
conditioning operation. This is
normal.
For quicker cool down on hot days:
1. Open the windows to let hot air
escape.
2. Select
H mode.
3. Select
#.
4. Select the coolest temperature.
5. Select the highest fan speed.
6. Close the windows after the hot
air has escaped.
7. Once the vehicle's interior
temperature is below the outside
temperature, select
@ mode
for faster cooling.
Using recirculation for long periods
of time could cause the air inside
of the vehicle to become too dry.
To prevent this from happening,
after the inside of the vehicle
has cooled, turn the recirculation
mode off.
The air conditioning system
removes moisture from the air,
so water might drip under the
vehicle while idling or after turning
off the engine. This is normal.
@ (Recirculation): Press to turn
the recirculation mode on or off.
An indicator light comes on when
recirculation is on. When the engine
is turned off, the recirculation mode
automatically turns off and must
be re‐selected when the engine is
turned on again.
This mode recirculates and helps
to quickly cool the air inside the
vehicle. It can be used to prevent
outside air and odors from entering
the vehicle.
The recirculation mode cannot be
used with floor, defrost, or defogging
modes. If recirculation is selected in
these modes, the indicator flashes
three times and turns off. The air
conditioning also comes on when
this mode is activated unless the
outside air temperature is less than
4°C (40°F). While in recirculation
mode the windows can fog when
the weather is cold and damp.
To clear the fog, select either the
defog or defrost mode and increase
the fan speed.
REAR (Rear Climate Control):

air conditioning on or off. See Rear

Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a
warming grid to remove fog from the
rear window.
