You can also select modes by using the following
buttons:
@ (Recirculate): Press this button on the center
knob to recirculate cabin air through the vehicle.
It can be used to prevent outside air and odors from
entering your vehicle or to help heat or cool the air
inside your vehicle more quickly. An indicator light below
the symbol will come on in this mode. 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.
#(Air Conditioning): Press this button to turn the
air-conditioning system on or off. When this button
is pressed, an indicator light on the button will come on
to let you know the air conditioning is activated.
Air-conditioning can be selected in any mode as long as
the fan switch is on.
The air-conditioning system removes moisture from the
air, so you may sometimes notice a small amount of
water dripping underneath your vehicle while idling
or after turning off the engine. This is normal.
Defogging and Defrosting
Fog or frost on the inside of windows is a result of high
humidity (moisture) condensing on the cool window
glass. This can be minimized if the climate control
system is used properly. Use the defog mode to clear
the windows of fog or moisture and warm the
passengers. To avoid fogging windows on rainy and
humid days at temperatures above freezing, run the air
conditioning compressor. Also, it is best to avoid the
use of recirculation mode except when maximum
A/C performance is needed or for short times to avoid
exterior odors. Use the defrost mode to remove fog
or frost from the windshield more quickly. When
you select either of these modes (or the floor mode
which also helps defog the windows slightly), the system
runs the air-conditioning compressor and cancels
recirculation mode to dry the air; however, the
recirculation light will stay on. For best results, clear all
snow and ice from the windshield before defrosting.
Turn the right knob to select the defog or defrost mode.
-(Defog): This mode directs half of the air to the
windshield and the side window outlets and half to the
floor outlets.
0(Defrost): This mode directs most of the air to the
windshield and the side window outlets, with some
air directed to the floor outlets.
