Using these settings together for long periods of time
can 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 the recirculation mode off.
: (Outside Air): Press to turn the outside air mode
on. An indicator light comes on to show that it is on. Air
from outside the vehicle will circulate throughout the
vehicle. The outside air mode can be used with all
modes, but it cannot be used with the recirculation
mode. Press
: to cancel the recirculation mode.
? (Recirculation): Press to turn the recirculation
mode on. An indicator light comes on to show that it 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. The
recirculation indicator light blinks three times if you try to
use recirculation in a mode in which it cannot function.
Pressing this button cancels the outside air mode.
When switching to the defog or defrost modes the
system automatically moves from recirculation to
outside air. When the vehicle or fan is turned off
and back on, the system defaults to outside air
automatically. Only use recirculation mode when it is
needed for comfort, since window fogging can occur.
Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to
remove fog or frost from the rear window.
< REAR: Press to turn the rear window defogger on or
off. An indicator light comes on to show that the rear
window defogger is on. Be sure to clear as much snow
from the rear window as possible.
If driving below 50 mph (80 km/h), the rear window
defogger turns off about 15 minutes after the button is
pressed. If turned on again, the defogger only runs for
about seven minutes before turning off. The defogger
can also be turned off by turning off the engine.
If the vehicle's speed is maintained above 50 mph
(80 km/h), the rear window defogger remains on once
the button is pressed.
If the vehicle has heated outside mirrors, the surface of
the outside mirrors heat when the rear window defogger
is activated. See Outside Power Mirrors on page 3‑38.
Notice: Do not use anything sharp on the inside of
the rear window. If you do, you could cut or damage
the warming grid, and the repairs would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty. Do not attach a
temporary vehicle license, tape, a decal or anything
similar to the defogger grid.
