•Do not put objects under the front seats that will interfere with the
airflow to the back seats.
• Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of
the windshield.
• To improve the A/C cool down, drive with the windows open for
approximately 2–3 minutes after starting the vehicle or until the
vehicle has “aired out.”
• The A/C system is used to cool both the interior of the vehicle and the
high voltage battery. In hot outside temperatures, interior cooling may
be temporarily reduced if the high voltage battery requires cooling.
Keep the vehicle plugged in (when possible) to allow automatic
battery cooling in high temperature conditions.
• Interior heating is done by an electrical heater. Set the fan at a lower
speed to get a warmer outlet temperature on cold days.
• A small amount of air may be felt from the floor vent regardless of the
air distribution setting that is selected.
Maximum Cooling Performance
