Operating Tips
Fast Cooldown
It is recommended to use Auto mode to allow the control
to make the mode and recirculation decisions for a fast
cooldown. Drive with the windows down for the first
few minutes to purge hot cabin air. To use manual mode
follow the steps listed below for a fast cooldown.
For a fast cooldown, set the blower fan to the highest
setting, set the mode control to the panel fresh position,
press the Snowflake button to turn on the air conditioning,
and drive with the windows open for the first few
minutes. Once the hot air has been expelled, close the
windows and set the mode selector to the Recirculation
panel or Recirculation Bi-level position. When a comfortable
condition has been reached, choose a mode position
and adjust the temperature control and blower speed as
necessary to maintain comfort.
Window Fogging
Windows will fog on the inside when the humidity inside
the vehicle is high. This often occurs in mild or cool
temperatures when it’s rainy or humid. In most cases,
turning on the air conditioning (pressing the snowflake
button) will clear the fog. Adjust the temperature control,
air direction and blower speed to maintain comfort.
When the control is in Auto mode the humidity sensor
will monitor cabin conditions and reduce interior fogging.
