Press AUTO to automatically regulate air flow or press any combination of the controls shown in the
illustration to manually adjust air flow. An LED in the switch will light up if an air flow control has
been pressed.
Air conditioning ON/OFF
Press the switch to turn the air conditioning on or off. The "ON" or "OFF" LED will light up to
indicate if the system is switched on or off. Other functions will still be regulated automatically (if
the AUTO switch is on).
The air conditioning functions only at temperatures above 32° F
(0° C).
While the Defroster function is selected, the air conditioning is temporarily activated to
dehumidify the air, even if you have manually switched the air conditioning off. This will only
function if the blower is not switched off.
Blower control
Turn the control clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to decrease the blower speed. Pressing
the AUTO switch will automatically regulate blower speed and override manual adjustment.
NOTE: Turning the blower control counterclockwise as far as possible (an LED next to the control
will light up) will turn both the blower and the air conditioning off.

the windows. Use a commercial window cleaning agent to clean the windows.
Ice and snow
Always keep the air intake grille at the base of the windshield free of snow.
Air cabin filter
Replace the air cabin filter with a new one at the recommended intervals. The filter should be
replaced more often when driving under dirty and dusty conditions. The filter cannot be cleaned and
