IDENTIFYING THE CLIMATE CONTROL UNIT
Depending on your vehicle options, the controls could look different than what you see here.
SWITCHING CLIMATE CONTROL ON AND OFF
SWITCHING RECIRCULATED AIR ON AND OFF
Press the button to recirculate air currently in the passenger compartment.
Note: Recirculated air may turn off automatically, 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 automatically in various air distribution control combinations to improve heating or cooling efficiency.
SWITCHING AIR CONDITIONING ON AND OFF
Press the button.
Note: Under certain conditions, the air conditioning compressor could continue to operate after you switch air conditioning off.
Note: To keep the system and its components fully functional, switch air conditioning on and let your vehicle idle at least once per month for a minimum of two minutes.
SWITCHING MAXIMUM DEFROST ON AND OFF
Press the button.
Air flows through the windshield air vents, the temperature is set to the highest setting, and the blower motor adjusts to the highest speed.
You can also use this setting to defog and clear the windshield of a thin covering of ice.
Note: To prevent window fogging, you cannot select recirculated air when maximum defrost is on.
Note: The heated rear window and heated mirrors also turn on when you select maximum defrost.
Note: When maximum defrost is on, the air conditioning compressor may continue to operate even though you switch off the A/C.
SWITCHING MAXIMUM COOLING ON AND OFF
Press the button.
Air flows through the instrument panel air vents, the temperature is set to the lowest setting, and the blower motor adjusts to the highest speed.
Note: When you switch maximum cooling off, air conditioning remains on.
