Climate Control Functions
A/C (Air Conditioning)
The Air Conditioning (A/C) button allows the
operator to manually activate or deactivate
the air conditioning system. When the air
conditioning system is turned on, cool dehu-
midified air will flow through the outlets into
the cabin. For improved fuel economy, press
the A/C button to turn off the air conditioning
and manually adjust the blower and airflow
mode settings. Also, make sure to select only
Panel, Bi-Level, or Floor modes.
NOTE:
• If fog or mist appears on the windshield or
side glass, select Defrost mode and in-
crease 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 accumulation of dirt
or insects. Clean with a gentle water spray
from the front of the radiator and through
the condenser.
MAX A/C
MAX A/C sets the control for maximum cool-
ing performance. Press and release to toggle
between MAX A/C and the prior settings. The
button illuminates when MAX A/C is ON.
In MAX A/C, the blower level and mode posi-
tion can be adjusted to desired user settings.
Pressing other settings will cause the MAX
A/C operation to switch to the selected set-
ting and MAX A/C to exit.
Recirculation
When outside air contains smoke, odors, or
high humidity, or if rapid cooling is desired,
you may wish to recirculate interior air by
pressing the Recirculation control button.
The Recirculation indicator will illuminate
when this button is selected. Press the but-
ton a second time to turn off the Recircula-
tion mode and allow outside air into the
vehicle.
NOTE:
In cold weather, use of Recirculation mode
may lead to excessive window fogging. The
Recirculation feature may be unavailable
(button on the touchscreen greyed out) if
conditions exist that could create fogging on
the inside of the windshield. On systems with
Manual Climate Controls, the Recirculation
mode is not allowed in Defrost mode to im-
prove window clearing operation. Recircula-
tion will be disabled automatically if this
mode is selected. Attempting to use Recircu-
lation while in this mode will cause the LED
in the control button to blink and then turn
off.
Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) —
If Equipped
Automatic Operation
1. Push the AUTO button on the faceplate,
or the AUTO button on the touchscreen (if
equipped) on the Automatic Temperature
Control (ATC) Panel.
2. Next, adjust the temperature you would
like the system to maintain by adjusting
the driver and passenger temperature
control buttons. Once the desired tem-
perature is displayed, the system will
achieve and automatically maintain that
comfort level.
3. When the system is set up for your comfort
level, it is not necessary to change the
settings. You will experience the greatest
efficiency by simply allowing the system
to function automatically.
