Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
OFF Mode
Press the passenger temperature knob to turn off the HVAC control module. When the vehicle is moving, air flowing over the vehicle increases the air pressure just ahead of the windshield. This forces air into the ambient air into the HVAC module and out through the floor and windshield outlets. Since the A/C compressor is not running, the incoming air may be warmed but not cooled. Recirculation is not adjustable in OFF mode.
