Temperature: Turn the left knob on the control
panel to adjust the temperature of the air in
the vehicle. Turn the knob clockwise or
counterclockwise to increase or decrease
the temperature.
#
(Air Conditioning): If your vehicle has air
conditioning press the left knob on the control
panel to turn the air conditioning system on or off.
An indicator light on the button will come on to
let you know the air conditioning is activated.
When the system is on, this setting cools
and dehumidifies the air entering your vehicle.
The air conditioning will not function if the fan is
turned off. If air conditioning is selected with
fan off, the LED light will flash three times and
then turn off.
You may notice a slight change in engine
performance when the air conditioning compressor
turns off and turns on again. This is normal. The
system is designed to make adjustments to
help with fuel economy while still maintaining the
selected temperature.
Air conditioning does not operate at temperature
below 40°F (4°C). In temperatures above 40°F
(4°C), the air conditioning cannot be turned off in
defrost, floor/defog, and recirculation modes
because it helps to remove moisture from the
vehicle. It also helps to keep the windows clear.
On hot days, open the windows to let the 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 recirculation mode.
3. Select the air conditioning to on.
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.
