)(Bi-Level): This mode directs air to the
instrument panel outlets and to the floor outlets.
Cooler air is directed to the upper outlets and
warmer air to the floor outlets.
6(Floor): This mode directs most of the air to
the floor outlets with some air directed to the
windshield.
When you select this mode, the system will turn
recirculation mode off and run the air conditioning
compressor unless the outside air is at or below
freezing. Recirculation mode cannot be selected
while in floor mode. This helps prevent window
fogging and moisture building up within the cabin.
The right knob can also be used to select defog or
defrost mode. See “Defogging and Defrosting”
later in this section.
A(Fan): Turn the left knob clockwise to increase
the fan speed or counterclockwise to decrease
the fan speed. To turn the fan off, turn the left knob
all the way counterclockwise. In any setting
other than off, the fan will run continuously with
the ignition on. The fan must be turned on to run
the air conditioning compressor. There will be
some airflow noticeable from the various outlets
when driving, even with the fan in the off position.
This is to ensure some fresh air is always
available in the vehicle.
Temperature Control: Turn the center knob
clockwise to increase or counterclockwise
to decrease the temperature inside your vehicle.
@(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.
