; (Outside Air): Press this button to turn the
outside air mode on. An indicator light in the button
comes on to show that it is activated. Air from outside
the vehicle will circulate throughout the vehicle.
The outside air mode can be used with all modes,
but it cannot be used with the recirculation mode.
Pressing this button will cancel the recirculation mode.
@(Recirculation): Press this button to turn on
the recirculation mode. An indicator light in the button
comes on to show that it is activated. The air inside the
vehicle will be recirculated through the climate control
system and the vehicle, not from outside the vehicle.
This mode can be used to prevent outside air and odors
from entering the vehicle or to help heat or cool the
air inside the vehicle more quickly. Avoid using
the recirculation mode during high periods of humidity
and 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. If the button is selected in these modes,
the indicator will flash. This helps prevent window
fogging and moisture building up within the cabin.
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 clear fog or frost from
the windshield and side windows. 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. For best results, clear
all snow and ice from the windshield before defrosting.
When using the automatic mode setting, the system will
automatically use the defog or defrost modes as needed.
Manually turn the right knob to select the defog or
defrost mode.
-(Defog): This mode directs air to the windshield,
side window outlets and floor outlets. When this mode is
selected, 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 defog mode. This helps prevent window
fogging and moisture building up within the cabin.
