Air Conditioning
The air conditioner cools, dehumidifies, and filters the
air for the inside of the vehicle.
The air conditioner compressor
is
enabled
in
all modes.
However, when the outside temperature is below
42"
F
(6"C), the compressor will not operate. When the air
conditioner is on, you may sometimes notice slight
changes
in
your vehicle's engine speed and power. This
is normal, because the system is designed to cycle the
compressor
on
and off to keep the desired cooling and
help fuel economy.
The air conditioning is always enabled
in
defog or
defrost. In any other mode,
you
can select or shut off the
air conditioning as desired by pressing
A/C
ON.
The
indicator light will glow while the air conditioning is
enabled.
For maximum continued cooling, press the blue
temperature button repeatedly until the display reads
60"
F
(16°C)
and press the A/C
ON
button. Using the
upper vents will cause
you
to feel cooler more quickly.
The direction of
the
cool air can be controlled by
adjusting, or turning off, the outlets in the dash. Aiming
them over your shoulder will benefit both front and rear
passengers. Back seat passengers can also redirect air
flow using the vents at the rear
of
the center console.
On hot days, open the windows long enough to let the
hot inside air out. This reduces the time the air
conditioner's compressor will have to run, which should
help fuel economy.
