A/C: Press to switch the air conditioning on or off. Use A/C with recirculated
air to improve cooling performance and efficiency.

A

Note: In certain conditions (for example, maximum defrost), the air conditioning
compressor may continue to operate even though you switch off the air
conditioning.

MAX A/C: Press for maximum cooling. The driver and passenger settings set
to LO, recirculated air flows through the instrument panel vents, air conditioning
turns on and the fan adjusts to the highest speed.

B

Recirculated air: Press to switch between outside air and recirculated air. The
air currently in the passenger compartment recirculates. This may reduce the
time needed to cool the interior (when used with A/C) and reduce unwanted
odors from entering your vehicle.

C

Note: Recirculated air may turn off (or prevent you from switching on) in all air
flow modes except MAX A/C to reduce the risk of fogging or to improve cooling
efficiency.

Power: Press to switch the system on and off. When the system is off, it
prevents outside air from entering the vehicle.

D

Passenger temperature control: Adjusts the temperature setting on the
passenger side.

E

Climate controlled seats: Press to switch the climate controlled seats on

Heated Windows and Mirrors (page 123).

J

Defrost: Press to distribute air through the windshield air vents and de-mister.
Air distribution to the instrument panel and footwell vents turns off. You can
also use this setting to defog and clear the windshield of a thin covering of ice.

K

MAX Defrost: Press to switch on defrost. The driver and passenger settings
set to HI, air flows through the windshield vents, and the fan adjusts to the
highest speed. You can also use this setting to defog and clear the windshield
of a thin covering of ice. The heated rear window also turns on when you select
maximum defrost.

L

Note: To prevent window fogging, you cannot select recirculated air when
maximum defrost is on.

AUTO: Press to switch on automatic operation. Adjust to select the desired
temperature. Fan speed, air distribution, air conditioning operation, and outside
or recirculated air adjust to heat or cool the vehicle to maintain the desired
temperature. You can also switch off dual zone mode by pressing and holding
for more than two seconds.

HINTS ON CONTROLLING THE
INTERIOR CLIMATE

General Hints

Note: Prolonged use of recirculated air may
cause the windows to fog up.

Note: You may feel a small amount of air
from the footwell air vents regardless of the
air distribution setting.

Note: To reduce humidity build-up inside
your vehicle, do not drive with the system
switched off or with recirculated air always
switched on.

Note: Do not place objects under the front
seats as this may interfere with the airflow
to the rear seats.
