H (Vent): This setting will deliver air to the
instrument panel outlets.
) (Bi-Level): This mode allows for split air to
the instrument panel outlets and to the floor
outlets. The flow can be divided between vent and
floor outlets depending upon where the knob is
placed between the settings. A little air is directed
towards the windshield and side window vents.
Cooler air is directed to the upper vents and
warmer air to the floor vents.
6 (Floor): This mode directs most of the air
to the floor outlets, with some of the air directed
to the windshield, side window outlets, and
second row floor outlets. In this mode, the
system will automatically select Outside Air.
- (Defog): See “Defogging and Defrosting”
later in this section.
@ (Recirculation): Press this button to turn
the recirculation mode on. When the button
is pressed, an indicator light will come on.
This mode keeps outside air from entering the
vehicle. It can be used to reduce outside air and
odors from entering your vehicle. Recirculation
may also help cool the air inside your vehicle
more quickly once the temperature inside the
vehicle is less than the outside temperature.
The recirculation mode cannot be used with floor,
defrost, or defogging modes.
If you try to select recirculation in one of those
modes, the indicator will flash three times and turn
off. The air conditioning compressor will also
come on when this mode is activated. While in
recirculation mode the windows may fog when
the weather is cold and damp. To clear the
fog, select either the blend or defrost mode and
increase the fan speed. Recirculation mode can
be turned off by pressing the button again, or
turning off the engine.
