Using these settings together for long periods of time
may cause the air inside of the vehicle to become
too dry. To prevent this from happening, after the air in
the vehicle has cooled, turn off the recirculation by
pressing the outside air button.
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.
The air conditioning compressor cannot be turned on
when the fan is off.

mode on. An indicator light comes on to show that

inside the vehicle. It can be used to help prevent outside
air and odors from entering the vehicle.

Recirculation is not available in floor, defog and defrost
modes. If the recirculation button is pressed, the indicator
light flashes five times and outside air will be delivered.
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.
; (Outside Air): Press to allow outside air to circulate
through the vehicle. An indicator light comes on to show
that outside air is on.
Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to
remove fog from the rear window.
The rear window defogger only works when the ignition
is in ON/RUN.
< (Rear): Press to turn the rear window defogger on or
off. Be sure to clear as much snow from the rear window
as possible. An indicator light comes on to show that the
rear window defogger is on.
The rear window defogger turns off approximately
15 minutes after the button is pressed. If turned
on again, the defogger only runs for approximately
seven minutes before turning off.
