) (Bi-Level): Air is divided
between the instrument panel
and the floor outlets.
6 (Floor): Air is directed to the
floor outlets with some air directed
to the windshield.
When this mode is selected, the
system turns the recirculation mode
off. Recirculation mode cannot
be selected while in floor mode.
This helps prevent window fogging.
- (Defog): This mode clears
the windows of fog or moisture.
Air is directed to the floor outlets,
with some air directed to the
windshield and side window outlets.
In this mode, the system turns the
recirculation mode off and runs 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.
0 (Defrost): This mode removes
fog or frost from the windshield
more quickly. Air is directed to the
windshield and the side window
outlets. In this mode, the system
turns the recirculation mode off
automatically and runs the air
conditioning compressor unless the
outside air is at or below freezing.
Recirculation mode cannot be
selected while in defrost mode.
This helps prevent window fogging.
For best results, clear all snow and
ice from the windshield before
defrosting.
# (Air Conditioning): Press to
turn the air conditioning system on
or off. An indicator light comes on to
show that the air conditioning is on.
The air conditioning can be selected
in any mode as long as the fan is on
and the outside temperature is above
freezing. A flashing indicator light
indicates that the air conditioning
compressor is currently not available.
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
and helps the system to operate
more efficiently.
For quick cool down on hot days,
select the following settings
together:
1. Select
H mode.
2. Select
;.
3. Turn the
# on.
4. Select the coolest temperature
and highest fan speed.
5. Once the vehicle’s interior
temperature is below the outside
temperature, select recirculation
mode for enhanced cooling.
Using these settings together for
long periods of time may cause the
air inside the vehicle to become too
dry. To prevent this from happening,
after the air inside of the vehicle
has cooled, turn the recirculation
mode off.
