RR(Rear)LockButton When you turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position, the temperature of the rear passenger compartment is synchronized to the driver’s side set temperature. You will see SYNC on the system display of the rear control panel. Changing the temperature of the rear passenger compartment takes the system out of synchronized mode. This causes the word SYNC in the display to go out and displays the rear temperature in the front display. When you turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position and see LOCK on the system display of the front and rear control panels, the temperature of the rear passenger compartment is not synchronized to the driver’s side set temperature.

AirConditioning(A/C)Button This button turns the air conditioning on and off. You will see A/C ON or A/C OFF in the display.

When you turn the A/C off, the system cannot regulate the inside temperature if you set the temperature control below the outside temperature.

RecirculationButton When the indicator in the button is on, air from the vehicle’s interior is sent through the system again. When the indicator is off, air is brought in from the outside of the vehicle (fresh air mode).

The outside air intakes for the climate control system are at the base of the windshield. Keep this area clear of leaves and other debris.

The system should be left in fresh air mode under almost all conditions. Keeping the system in recirculation mode, particularly with the A/C off, can cause the windows to fog up.

Switch to recirculation mode when driving through dusty or smoky conditions, then return to fresh air mode.
