Air conditioner auto-drying

The Air conditioner auto-drying feature dries the moisture in the air conditioner and reduces air conditioner odor. The blower motor automatically operates after 30 minutes the vehicle is turned off.

The Air conditioner auto-drying feature can be turned on and off by selecting Settings > Vehicle > Climate > Climate features > Air conditioner auto-drying in 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 conditioner auto-drying feature is activated, the air conditioner sets the fan speed to the third level, selects outside (fresh) position, and directs the air flow to the body and face.
