Climate Control 151
E. A/C: Press to turn air conditioning off and on. Air conditioning cools
the vehicle using outside air. To improve air conditioning when starting
your vehicle, drive with the windows slightly open for two to three
minutes.
Use A/C with recirculated air to improve cooling performance and
efficiency.
Note: A/C turns on automatically in MAX A/C, Defrost and Floor/Defrost.
F. MAX A/C: Distributes recirculated air through the instrument panel
vents to cool the vehicle. This position is more economical and efficient
than normal A/C.
G. Recirculated air: Press to switch between outside air and
recirculated air. When the LED on the button is lit, the air currently in
the passenger compartment is being recirculated. Using recirculated air
can reduce the time needed to cool the interior and reduce unwanted
odors from entering your vehicle.
Note: Recirculated air engages automatically when MAX A/C is selected
or can be turned on manually in any airflow mode except Defrost.
Note: For better cooling in hot conditions, recirculated air automatically
engages when in Panel or Panel/Floor modes and the air conditioning is
on. You can switch to fresh air by pressing the recirculated air button
again.
H. DUAL: Allows the passenger to set their temperature independent of
the driver temperature.
Press + or - to increase or decrease the air temperature on the
passenger side of the vehicle when in dual zone mode.
I. Fan speed control: Press + or - to increase or decrease the volume
of air circulated in your vehicle.
J. Driver temperature control: Press + or - to increase or decrease
the air temperature inside the vehicle.
This control also adjusts the passenger side temperature when dual zone
operation is disengaged.
