indicator light in the button will come on to let you
know that air conditioning is activated. When in

On hot days, open the windows to let hot inside air
escape; then close them. This helps reduce the time it
takes for your vehicle to cool down. It also helps
the system to operate more efficiently.
For quick cool down on hot days, do the following:
1.
Select the vent mode.
2.
Select the recirculation mode.
3. Select
NC.
4. Select the coolest temperature.
5.
Select the highest fan speed.
Using these settings together for long periods of time
may cause the air inside of your vehicle to become too
dry. To prevent this from happening, after the air in
your vehicle has cooled, turn the recirculation mode off.
The air conditioning system removes moisture from
the air,
so
you may sometimes notice
a
small amount of
water dripping underneath your vehicle while idling or
after turning off the engine. This is normal.
Sensors
The solar sensor on your vehicle monitors the solar
radiation and the air inside of your vehicle, then uses the
information to maintain the selected temperature by
initiating needed adjustments to the temperature, the fan
speed and the air delivery system. The system may
also supply cooler air to the side of the vehicle facing the
sun. The recirculation mode will also be activated, as
necessary
no
not
cover the solar sensor located in the
center of the instrument panel, near the windshield,
or the system will not work properly.
