For quick cool down on hot days press the AUTO button and adjust the temperature to a cool, comfortable setting. To achieve maximum cool down, do the following: 1. Select the vent mode. 2. Select recirculation mode. 3. Select the A/C on. 4. Select the coolest temperature. 5. Select the highest fan speed. Using these settings together for long periods of time may cause the air inside of your vehicle to become too dry. To prevent this from happening, after the air in your vehicle has cooled, turn the recirculation mode off. The air conditioning system removes moisture from the air, so you may sometimes notice a small amount of water dripping underneath your vehicle while idling or after turning off the engine. This is normal. Sensors The solar sensor on your vehicle monitors the solar radiation and uses the information to maintain the selected temperature when operating in AUTO mode by initiating needed adjustments to the temperature, the fan speed and the air delivery system. The system may also supply cooler air to the side of the vehicle facing the sun. The recirculation mode will also be activated, as necessary. Do not cover the solar sensor located on the top of the instrument panel near the windshield or the system will not work properly. There is also a sensor located behind the front bumper. This sensor reads the outside air temperature and helps to maintain the temperature inside the vehicle. Any cover on the front of the vehicle could give a false reading in the temperature. If the outside temperature goes up, the displayed temperature will not change until: • The vehicle's speed is above 12 mph (19 km/h) for five minutes. • The vehicle's speed is above 32 mph (52 km/h) for two and a half minutes. 181
