Using MAX A/C mode
The MAX A/C mode recirculates
the air and directs it to flow
through the instrument panel
vents.
This mode is noisier, but provides
quicker cooling than A/C mode.
The compressor only functions if
the outside temperature is above
10ÉC (50ÉF).
Select MAX A/C for airflow
through these vents:
Off mode
Select the OFF position for all
climate control functions to cease.
The outside inlet door will close
and the fan is shut off.
Drive with the climate control
system on (either in heating or
A/C mode) to reduce humidity in
your vehicle.
Using A/C mode
The A/C mode directs outside
conditioned air to flow through the
instrument panel vents. The A/C
mode can be used for heating,
ventilating or air conditioning. The
A/C compressor only functions in
the A/C mode if the outside
temperature is above 10ÉC (50ÉF).
