MANUAL CLIMATE CONTROL

 (If Equipped)

E246798

Fan speed control:

 Adjusts the volume of air circulated in the vehicle.

A

Power:

 Press to switch the system on and off. When the system is off, it

prevents outside air from entering the vehicle.

B

Defrost:

 Press to distribute air through the windshield air vents and de-mister.

Air distribution to the instrument panel and footwell vents turns off. You can
also use this setting to defog and clear the windshield of a thin covering of ice.

C

Air distribution control:

 Press to switch air flow from the instrument panel

or footwell vents on or off. You can distribute air through any combination of
these vents.

D

A/C:

 Press to switch the air conditioning on or off. Use A/C with recirculated

air to improve cooling performance and efficiency.

E

Note:

 In certain conditions (for example, maximum defrost), the air conditioning

compressor may continue to operate even though you switch off the air
conditioning.

MAX A/C:

 Turn to the left for maximum cooling. Recirculated air flows through

the instrument panel vents, air conditioning turns on and the fan adjusts to the
highest speed.

F

Note:

 In certain conditions (for example, maximum defrost), the air conditioning

compressor may continue to operate even though you switch off the air
conditioning.

MAX Defrost:

Note:

 To prevent window fogging, you cannot select recirculated air when

maximum defrost is on.

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.

H

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.

Automatic Fan Settings

The system adjusts fan speed, air
distribution, air conditioning operation, and
outside or recirculated air to maintain the
desired temperature.

The AUTO button illuminates for the
following settings:
•

When three indicators are on, there are
no limits on the fan speed so that you
reach the selected temperature as
quickly as possible with the highest
amount of cabin noise.

•

When two indicators are on, there are
moderate limits on the fan speed so
that you reach the selected
temperature with a reduced amount
of cabin noise.

•

When one indicator is on, there are
lower limits on the fan speed so that
you reach the selected temperature
with the least amount of cabin noise.

Note:

The system starts at the previous fan

setting when you switch on AUTO.

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.
