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:
• For Manual Climate Controls, if the system is in
Mix, Floor or Defrost Mode, the A/C can be
turned off, but the A/C system shall remain
active to prevent fogging of the windows.
• 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 accumulation of dirt or insects. Clean with a
gentle water spray from the front of the
radiator and through the condenser.
Recirculation
In cold weather, use of Recirculation mode may
lead to excessive window fogging. The Recircula-
tion feature may be unavailable if conditions exist
that could create fogging on the inside of the
windshield.
Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) — If
Equipped
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 tem-
perature control buttons. Once the desired
temperature is displayed, the system achieves
and automatically maintains that comfort level.
3. When the system is set up for your comfort
level, it is not necessary to change the settings.
You experience the greatest efficiency by
simply allowing the system to function
automatically.
NOTE:
• It is not necessary to move the temperature
settings for cold or hot vehicles. The system
automatically adjusts the temperature, mode,
and blower speed to provide comfort as quickly
as possible.
• The temperature can be displayed in U.S. or
Metric units by selecting the US/Metric
customer-programmable feature.
To provide you with maximum comfort in the
Automatic mode during cold start-ups, the
blower fan remains on low until the engine warms
up. The blower increases in speed and transition
into Auto mode.
Manual Operation Override
This system offers a full complement of manual
override features.The AUTO symbol in the front
ATC display will be turned off when the system is
being used in the manual mode.
NOTE:
The system will not automatically sense the
presence of fog, mist or ice on the windshield.
Defrost mode must be manually selected to clear
the windshield and side glass.
