Maximum A/C (Automatic System Only)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Land Rover Range Rover. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Pressing the maximum air conditioning (A/C) switch while the engine is running and the ambient temperature is more than 7°C (45°F) provides the maximum cooling possible from the system to cool the passenger compartment down as rapidly as possible. When maximum air conditioning (A/C) is selected the coolant valves are held closed, the A/C compressor is engaged, the blower speed is set to maximum and the recirculation doors are set to the recirculation position. After 12 minutes the recirculation doors will be set to fresh air for 1 minute then returned to the recirculation position.
The maximum air conditioning (A/C) function is cancelled when any of the other air conditioning (A/C) system switches are pressed.
