For quick cool down on hot days press the AUTO
button and adjust the temperature to a cool,
comfortable setting. To achieve maximum cool
down, do the following:
1. Select the vent mode.
2. Select recirculation mode.
3. Select the A/C 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.
The air conditioning system removes moisture
from the air, so you may sometimes notice a
small amount of water dripping underneath
your vehicle while idling or after turning off the
engine. This is normal.
Sensors
The solar sensor on your vehicle monitors the
solar radiation and uses the information to
maintain the selected temperature when operating
in AUTO mode by initiating needed adjustments
to the temperature, the fan speed and the air
delivery system. The system may also supply
cooler air to the side of the vehicle facing the sun.
The recirculation mode will also be activated,
as necessary. Do not cover the solar sensor
located on the top of the instrument panel near
the windshield or the system will not work properly.
There is also a sensor located behind the front
bumper. This sensor reads the outside air
temperature and helps to maintain the temperature
inside the vehicle. Any cover on the front of the
vehicle could give a false reading in the
temperature.
If the outside temperature goes up, the displayed
temperature will not change until:
•
The vehicle's speed is above
12 mph (19 km/h) for five minutes.
•
The vehicle's speed is above
32 mph (52 km/h) for two and a half minutes.
