To change the current mode, select one of the following:
H (Vent): Air is directed to the instrument panel
outlets.
% (Bi-Level): Air is divided between the instrument
panel and floor outlets. In automatic operation, cooler air
is directed to the upper outlets and warmer air to the
floor outlets.
6 (Floor): Air is directed to the floor outlets, with
some air directed to the windshield and side window
outlets.
- (Floor/Defog): This mode clears windows of fog or
moisture. Air is directed to the windshield, floor
outlets and side windows. In this mode, the system
turns off recirculation and runs the air conditioning
compressor unless the outside temperature is near or
below freezing.
1 (Defrost): This mode removes fog or frost from the
windshield more quickly. Press to direct air to the
windshield, with some air directed to the side windows.
In this mode, the system automatically turns off the
recirculation and runs the air conditioning compressor,
unless the outside temperature is near or below freezing.
Do not drive the vehicle until all the windows are clear.
A/C OFF (Air Conditioning): Press to turn off the air
conditioning compressor. Press AUTO to return to
automatic operation. The compressor cannot be turned
off in either the defrost or floor/defog mode.
? (Recirculation): Press to turn the recirculation
mode on or off. The air conditioning compressor
also comes on.
This mode recirculates and helps to quickly cool the
air inside the vehicle. It can be used to help prevent
outside air and odors from entering the vehicle.
Recirculation is not available in defrost or floor/defog
modes.
Using recirculation for long periods of time may cause
the air inside the vehicle to become too dry. To prevent
this from happening, after the air in the vehicle has
cooled, turn the recirculation mode off.
