MAX A/C
MAX A/C sets the control for maximum cooling perfor-
mance. Press and release to toggle between MAX A/C and
the prior settings. The button illuminates when MAX A/C
is ON.
Pressing blower speed, temperature, recirculation, or mode
settings, will cause the MAX A/C operation to switch to
the selected setting and MAX A/C to exit.
Recirculation
When outside air contains smoke, odors, or high humidity,
or if rapid cooling is desired, you may wish to recirculate
interior air by pressing the Recirculation control button.
The Recirculation indicator will illuminate when this but-
ton is selected. Press 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 Recirculation fea-
ture may be unavailable (button on the touchscreen greyed
out) if conditions exist that could create fogging on the
inside of the windshield.
