CLIMATE CONTROLS
The Climate Control system allows you to regulate the
temperature, air flow, and direction of air circulating
throughout the vehicle. The controls are located on the
touchscreen and on the instrument panel below the
radio.
AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL
DESCRIPTIONS AND FUNCTIONS
MAX A/C Button
Press and release the MAX A/C button on
the touchscreen to change the current set-
ting to the coldest output of air. MAX A/C
sets the control for maximum cooling perfor-
mance. The MAX A/C 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 button is only available on the
touchscreen.
A/C Button
Press and release this button on the touch-
screen, or push the button on the faceplate
to change the current setting. The A/C indi-
cator illuminates when A/C is ON.
The Air Conditioning (A/C) button allows the operator to
manually activate or deactivate the air conditioning sys-
tem. When the air conditioning system is turned on,
cool dehumidified air will flow through the outlets into
the cabin.
NOTE:
•
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 on the touch-
screen, or push the button on the faceplate
to change the system between recirculation
mode and outside air mode. The Recircula-
tion 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. Recirculation may be unavailable
(button on the touchscreen grayed out) if conditions
exist that could create fogging on the inside of the wind-
shield. The A/C can be deselected manually without
disturbing the mode control selection. Continuous use
of the Recirculation mode may make the inside air
stuffy and window fogging may occur. Extended use of
this mode is not recommended. Recirculation mode
may automatically adjust to optimize customer experi-
ence for warming, cooling, dehumidification, etc.
AUTO Button
Press and release this button on the touch-
screen, or push the button on the faceplate,
to change the current setting. The AUTO indi-
cator illuminates when AUTO is on. This fea-
ture automatically controls the interior cabin tempera-
ture by adjusting distribution and blower speed. Air
conditioning (A/C) may be active during AUTO operation
to improve performance. AUTO Mode is highly recom-
mended for efficiency. Toggling this function will cause
the system to switch between manual mode and auto-
matic mode
page 56.
Front Defrost
Turn the Mode control knob to Front Defrost
to change the current airflow setting to
Defrost mode. The Front Defrost indicator
illuminates when Front Defrost 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
temperature settings for best windshield and side win-
dow defrosting and defogging. When toggling the front
defrost mode button, the Climate Control system will
return to the previous setting.
