@(Recirculation): Press this button to toggle
between recirculate and outside air modes. The indicator
light turns on when the recirculate mode is selected.
This mode can be used to prevent outside air and odors
from entering the vehicle or to help 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. If the button is selected in these modes,
the indicator will flash. This helps prevent window fogging
and moisture building up inside the vehicle.
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.
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 turns the recirculation mode off and
runs the air conditioning compressor unless the outside
air is at or below freezing. The recirculation mode cannot
be selected while in defog mode. This helps prevent
window fogging and moisture building up inside the
vehicle.
0(Defrost): This mode directs most of the air to the
windshield, with some air directed to the side window
outlets and the floor outlets. When this mode is selected,
the system turns the recirculation mode off automatically
and runs the air conditioning compressor unless the
outside air is at or below freezing. The recirculation mode
cannot be selected while in defrost mode. This helps
prevent window fogging and moisture building up inside
the vehicle. In this mode, the climate control system
prevents all automatic engine start/stop operations.
This ensures the best defrost performance.
