Display Manual Temperature Controls
MAX A/C Setting
Set the temperature control knob to the
MAX A/C setting to change the current
setting to the coldest output of air. Moving
the temperature control knob away from the
MAX A/C setting causes the MAX A/C operation to exit.
A/C Button
Push the A/C button to engage the
Air Conditioning (A/C). The A/C indicator
illuminates when A/C is on.
NOTE:
●
For Manual Climate Controls, if the system is in Mix,
Floor or Defrost mode, the A/C can be turned off,
but the A/C system shall remain active to prevent
fogging of the windows.
●
If fog or mist appears on the windshield or side
glass, select Defrost mode, and increase blower
speed if needed.
●
If your air conditioning performance seems lower
than expected, check the front of the A/C condenser
(located in front of the radiator), for an accumulation
of dirt or insects. Clean with a gentle water spray
from the front of the radiator and through the
condenser.
Recirculation Button
Push the Recirculation button to change
the system between recirculation mode
and outside air mode. The Recirculation
indicator and the A/C indicator illuminate
when the Recirculation button is pressed. Recirculation
can be used when outside conditions, such as smoke,
odors, dust, or humidity are present. Recirculation can
be used in all modes except for Defrost. Recirculation
may be unavailable if conditions exist that could create
fogging on the inside of the windshield. The A/C can
be deselected manually without disturbing the mode
control selection. Continuous use of the Recirculation
mode may make the inside air stuffy and window
fogging may occur. Extended use of this mode is not
recommended.
On systems with Manual Climate Controls, the
Recirculation mode is not allowed in Defrost mode
to improve window cleaning operation. Recirculation
is disabled automatically if this mode is selected.
Attempting to use Recirculation while in this mode
causes the LED in the control button to blink and then
turn off.
Front Defrost Setting
Turn the mode control knob to the Front
Defrost mode setting. Air comes from the
windshield and side window demist outlets.
When the defrost button is selected, the
blower level may increase. Use Defrost mode with
maximum temperature settings for best windshield and
side window defrosting and defogging.
Rear Defrost Button
Push and release the Rear Defrost Control
button to turn on the rear window
defroster and the heated outside mirrors
(if equipped). The Rear Defrost indicator
illuminates when the rear window defroster is on. The
rear window defroster automatically turns off after 10
minutes.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these cautions can cause damage to
the heating elements:
●
Use care when washing the inside of the rear
window. Do not use abrasive window cleaners on
the interior surface of the window. Use a soft cloth
and a mild washing solution, wiping parallel to the
heating elements. Labels can be peeled off after
soaking with warm water.
●
Do not use scrapers, sharp instruments, or
abrasive window cleaners on the interior surface
of the window.
●
Keep all objects a safe distance from the window.
