So turn the car off and click the Reset button? Do you have to click the reset button back off after a certain amount of time? How does it it do this with the car turned off?

 

The "reset" button is actually the "recirulation" button on your AC Controls. Just shut off your X Fire like you normally do, then push the button. The reset indicator light will come on and your fan will come on at low speed and then automatically turn off after about 5 minutes. The function is to provide some climate control without running the engine (I am in sales and it's works well). It does help to dry the condensation from the system and helps to eliminate that annoying "Mercedes Benz" odor.

 

The material is mostly insulation and I assume from my car, but I have not found where yet. Just bought the car in February and the vermin came with it... no additional charge.

 

To get back onto the A/C smell... Most cars develop a smell from the condensation build up left in the system when the car is turned off after the A/C has been run. The bacteria love that environment, dark and wet. Here in California it is quite common since everyone uses their A/C a lot. The easiest way and most effective way to get rid of the cat pee smell is to get an anti mold & anti bacterial spray at the local auto parts house. It is designed specifically for car A/C smell and is found in the A/C section.

It is designed to be sprayed into the vents. Be sure to spray plenty of it into the each vent, but mainly into the vents by the glove box. It needs to drain down into the evaporator and kill the bacteria in the main area of the A/C box. Since the Crossfire has the extra feature of the system run when the key is off, use it. The smell of the anti-bacterial is strong too. Hit the recirculation button and walk away. Next time you use the A/C there will be the residue of the spray, but it's not bad. Do this once a year and everything will be peachy...or at least not cat peechy!!

Now go be Kuhl...

 

I hit the rest button and came back 15 minutes later and it was still running, hot air of course, so I'm not sure if it actually auto shuts off....

 

It will run for about 15mins, then turn off on it's own. I use mine all time in the summer to control the "stink".
