• Off-Outside air is shut out and the fan will not operate. This mode will
reduce undesirable odors from entering the vehicle but may increase
the possibility of interior window fogging.
• Panel - Distributes outside or recirculated air through the instrument
panel registers. The A/C compressor will only function if the outside
temperature is above approximately 2°C (35°F). The system will allow
some airflow through the floor ducts.
• Panel and Floor -Distributes outside or recirculated air through the
instrument panel registers and floor ducts. The A/C compressor will
only function if the outside temperature is above approximately 2°C
(35°F). The air distributed through the floor ducts will be slightly
warmer than that sent to the instrument panel registers.
• Floor -Distributes outside or recirculated air through the floor ducts.
The A/C compressor will only function if the outside temperature is
above approximately 2°C (35°F).
• Floor & Defrost -Distributes outside or recirculated air through the
floor ducts, windshield defroster ducts and the side window demisters.
The A/C compressor will operate automatically if the outside
temperature is above approximately 2°C (35°F). The air distributed
through the floor ducts will be slightly warmer than that sent to the
windshield defroster ducts and the side window demisters.
• Defrost-Distributes outside air through the windshield defroster ducts
and the side window demisters. The A/C compressor will operate
automatically if the outside temperature is above approximately 2°C
(35°F). This mode will clear ice and fog from the windshield.
Operating tips
• To reduce fogging in humid weather, place the climate control system
in Defrost mode and Rear Defrost before driving.
• To reduce humidity buildup inside the vehicle in warm weather
conditions, don’t drive with the climate control system in the Off
mode.
• To reduce humidity buildup inside the vehicle in cold weather
conditions, don’t drive with the climate control system in recirculation
mode or Off mode.
• Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the exterior base of the
windshield.
• To increase the efficiency of the A/C, drive with the windows slightly
open for 2–3 minutes after start up or until the vehicle has been
“aired out.”
