Hints on Controlling the Interior Climate - Vehicles With: Automatic Temperature Control
General Hints
Do not place objects under the front seats as this may interfere with directing air to the rear seats.
Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of the windshield.
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:
Prolonged use of recirculated air may cause the windows to fog up.
Note:
Use air conditioning with recirculated air to improve cooling performance and efficiency.
Note:
When you select automatic mode and the outside temperature is low and the engine is cold, air is directed to the windshield and the outer instrument panel air vents.
Note:
When you select automatic mode and the outside temperature and in-vehicle temperature is high, the system temporarily selects recirculated air to maximize cooling.
Note:
When you select maximum defrost, air conditioning turns on and air is directed to the windshield air vents.
