@(Recirculate): Press this button to toggle between
recirculate and outside air modes. The indicator light
turns on when recirculate mode is selected. This mode
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. Avoid using the
recirculate mode on during high periods of humidity or
cool outside temperatures since this may result in
increased window fogging. If window fogging is
experienced, select the defrost mode.
Recirculation mode is not available in floor, defog, or
defrost modes and will shut off automatically and change
to outside air until a mode other than floor, defog, or
defrost is selected. This helps prevent window fogging
and moisture building up within the cabin.
#(Air Conditioning): Press this button to turn the
air conditioning system on or off. When this button
is pressed, an indicator light above 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 is on in any speed position.
On hot days, open the windows to let hot inside air
escape; then close them. This helps to reduce the time
it takes for your vehicle to cool down. It also helps
the system to operate more efficiently.
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.
Operation Tips
On hot days, activate the air conditioning system,
select maximum fan speed and the coldest
temperature setting. Open the windows long enough
to let the hot inside air escape, then close them.
This helps reduce the time it takes for your vehicle
to cool down. It also helps the system to operate
more efficiently. Adjust fan speed and temperature
setting as required to achieve comfort.

Fog on the inside of windows is a result of high
humidity (moisture) on the 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. Use the defrost mode to remove fog
or frost from the windshield quickly. For best results,
clear all snow and ice from the windshield before
defrosting.
