Maximum Air Conditioning
On hot days, open the windows to let hot inside air
escape; then close them. This helps reduce the time
it takes for the vehicle to cool down. It also helps the
air conditioning system operate more efficiently.
For quick cool down on hot days, do the following:
1. Select the
C vent mode.
2. Select the highest fan speed.
3. Select
# air conditioning.
4. Select the
? recirculation mode.
5. Select the coolest temperature.
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.
Defogging and Defrosting
Fog on the inside of windows is a result of high humidity
(moisture) condensing on the cool window glass. This
can be minimized if the climate control system is used
properly. There are two modes to choose from to clear
fog or frost from the windshield. 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 more quickly.
Turn the right knob to select the defog or defrost mode.
- (Defog): This mode divides the air between the
windshield and the floor outlets with a small amount
directed to the side windows. When this mode is
selected, the system automatically turns off recirculation.
The air-conditioning compressor will run unless
the outside temperature is at or below freezing.
The air-conditioning compressor operates although
the indicator light is not on. The air-conditioning
indicator light turns off when defog is selected. If the
air-conditioning button is pressed while in defog mode,
the indicator light will turn on. If the button is pressed
again, the light will turn off. The recirculation mode
cannot be selected while in the defog mode. Do not
drive the vehicle until all the windows are clear.
