Fan Speed Control

Adjusts the volume of air circulated in the
vehicle.

Right-hand Temperature Control

Adjusts the temperature setting on the
right-hand side.

MAX A/C

Press for maximum cooling. The left-hand
and right-hand settings set to LO,
recirculated air flows through the instrument
panel vents, air conditioning turns on and
the fan adjusts to the highest speed.

A/C

Press to switch the air conditioning on or off.
Use A/C with recirculated air to improve
cooling performance and efficiency.

Note: In certain conditions (for example,
maximum defrost), the air conditioning
compressor may continue to operate even
though you switch off the air conditioning.

Recirculated Air

Press to switch between outside air and
recirculated air. The air currently in the
passenger compartment recirculates. This
may reduce the time needed to cool the
interior (when used with A/C) and reduce
unwanted odors from entering your vehicle.

Note: Recirculated air may turn off (or
prevent you from switching on) in all air flow
modes except MAX A/C to reduce the risk
of fogging. Recirculation may also turn on
and off in various air distribution control
combinations during hot weather in order to
improve cooling efficiency.

Press to switch the system on and off. When
the system is off, it prevents outside air from
entering the vehicle.

of ice.

Heated Rear Window

Press to switch the heated rear window on
and off.  See Heated Rear Window (page
135).

HINTS ON CONTROLLING THE
INTERIOR CLIMATE

General Hints

Note: Prolonged use of recirculated air may
cause the windows to fog up.

Note: You may feel a small amount of air
from the footwell air vents regardless of the
air distribution setting.

Note: To reduce humidity build-up inside
your vehicle, do not drive with the system
switched off or with recirculated air always
switched on.

Note: Do not place objects under the front
seats as this may interfere with the airflow
to the rear seats.

Note: Remove any snow, ice or leaves from
the air intake area at the base of the
windshield.

Note: To improve the time to reach a
comfortable temperature in hot weather,
drive with the windows open until you feel
cold air through the air vents.

Automatic Climate Control

Note: Adjusting the settings when your
vehicle interior is extremely hot or cold is not
necessary.

Note: The system adjusts to heat or cool the
interior to the temperature you select as
quickly as possible.

Note: For the system to function efficiently,
the instrument panel and side air vents
should be fully open.
