6 (Floor): Air is directed to the floor outlets, with
some air directed to the windshield and side window
outlets.
If recirculation is selected while in this mode, it stays on
for three minutes to reduce windshield fogging.
- (Floor/Defog): This clears the windows of fog
or moisture. Air is directed to the windshield and side
window outlets and to the floor outlets. The system
runs the air conditioning compressor unless the outside
temperature is near or below freezing.
0 (Defrost): This mode clears the windshield of fog or
frost more quickly. Air is directed to the windshield and
side window outlets. The system runs the air conditioning
compressor unless the outside temperature is near or
below freezing.
# (Air Conditioning): Press to turn the air conditioning
system on or off. An indicator light below the button
comes on to show that this mode is on. Air conditioning
can be selected in any mode as long as the fan knob
is not in the off position.
On hot days during the vehicle’s initial start-up, open
the windows to let hot inside air escape; then close them.
This helps to reduce the time it takes for the vehicle to
cool down. It also helps the system to operate more
efficiently.
For quicker cool down on hot days, do the following:
1. Select
H .
2. Select
h .
3. Select
# .
4. Select the coolest temperature.
5. Select the highest fan speed.
The air-conditioning system removes moisture from
the air, so a small amount of water might drip under
the vehicle while idling or after turning off the engine.
This is normal.
h (Recirculation): Press to turn the recirculation
mode on. An indicator light below the button comes on
to show that this mode is on. This mode recirculates and
helps to quickly cool the air inside the vehicle. It can be
used to prevent outside air and odors from entering the
vehicle. This mode cannot be selected while in the defog
or defrost modes. If you try to select the recirculation
mode, the indicator light flashes three times and turns off.
Operation in this mode during periods of high humidity
and cool outside temperatures may result in increased
window fogging. If window fogging is experienced, select
the defrost mode.
