System Maintenance
In winter, the climate control system must be
turned on at least once a month for about ten
minutes.
Have the system inspected at an authorized
dealership before the summer.
NOTE:
The system uses R-1234yf coolant which does
not pollute the environment in the event of
accidental leakage. Under no circumstances is the
use of R-134a allowed.

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 dehumidified air will
flow through the outlets into the cabin. For
improved fuel economy, push 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 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 radia-
tor), for an accumulation of dirt or insects.
Clean with a gentle water spray from the front
of the radiator and through the condenser.
Recirculation
When outside air contains smoke, odors, or high
humidity, or if rapid cooling is desired, you may
wish to recirculate interior air by pushing the
Recirculation control button. The recirculation
indicator will illuminate when this button is se-
lected. Push the button a second time to turn off
the Recirculation mode and allow outside air into
the vehicle.
NOTE:
In cold weather, use of recirculation mode may
lead to excessive window fogging. The recircula-
tion feature may be unavailable (button on the
touchscreen greyed out) if conditions exist that
could create fogging on the inside of the wind-
shield. On systems with Manual Climate Controls,
the Recirculation mode is not allowed in Defrost
mode to improve window clearing operation.
Recirculation will be disabled automatically if this
mode is selected.Attempting to use Recirculation
while in this mode will cause the LED light in the
control button to blink and then turn off.
Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) — If

Automatic Operation
1. Push the AUTO button on the faceplate.
2. Next, adjust the temperature you would like
the system to maintain by adjusting the driver
and passenger temperature control buttons.
Once the desired temperature is displayed, the
system will achieve and automatically maintain
that comfort level.
