A/C
(air conditioning) Used to manually enable or disable the
operation of the air conditioning in all modes except defrost. In all
modes, the air conditioning will only function if the outside temperature
is about 2°C (35°F) or higher. When manual A/C is selected (ON) the
indicator will be lit. When manual A/C is selected (OFF) the indicator
will not be lit.
In defrost and floor/defrost mode, if the outside temperature is about 2°C
(35°F) or higher, the air conditioner will automatically dehumidify the air
to reduce window fogging. However, the A/C indicator will be off and the
A/C override control cannot be selected.
When AUTO is selected, the A/C operates automatically for existing
conditions. With automatic A/C operation, the A/C indicator will be lit if
the outside temperature is about 2°C (35°F) or higher. You may override
the automatic A/C operation at any time. To manually control the A/C
operation and cancel automatic A/C operation, press the A/C control.
When the A/C is manually controlled in the AUTO mode, the AUTO
indicator will remain lit. To return to automatic A/C operation, press
AUTO.
