When the weather is cool or damp, operating in
RECIRC for extended periods of time may cause
fogging of the vehicle’s windows. To clear the fog,
switch back to outside air by turning off RECIRC, select
either defog or FRONT defrost mode and increase the
fan speed. To avoid refogging of the windows, minimize
your use of recirculation under these conditions and turn
the A/C on to help dehumidify the air.
A/C (Air Conditioning): Press this button to turn
the air conditioning compressor on and off. The system
will cool and dehumidify the air inside your vehicle. If
your comfort control system is off, you can also turn it
back on in vent mode by selecting the A/C button.
Even though A/C is not selected, in FRONT defrost
mode the A/C compressor will run automatically at
temperatures over approximately 40 F (4 C) to
improve windshield clearing performance.
Electronic Climate Control System (Option)
DRIVER (Driver’s Side Temperature): The knob
on the left is used to change the temperature of the air
coming through the system on the driver’s side of the
vehicle. Push this knob to turn the system on and off.
Turn the knob toward the blue area to decrease the set
temperature. Turn the knob toward the red area to
increase the set temperature. When this knob is
adjusted, the word DRIVER will be displayed
under the set temperature.
When the passenger’s set temperature is not active,
this knob controls both the driver’s and passenger’s side,
and both DRIVER and PASS will be displayed under the
set temperature.
