Air conditioning auto-drying
The Air conditioning auto-drying feature dries the moisture in the air conditioner and reduces air conditioner odor. The blower motor automatically operates 30 minutes after the engine is turned off.
The Air conditioning auto-drying feature can be turned on and off by selecting Vehicle > Climate > Climate Features > Air Conditioner Auto-Dry from the infotainment system.
If the operating condition is satisfied after setting the feature, the operating condition appears on the infotainment system and the blower motor automatically operates.
When the Air conditioning auto-drying feature is activated, the air conditioner sets the fan speed to the third level, selects outside (fresh) mode, and directs the air flow toward the face.
