User Manual

To change the current air delivery mode, select one of
the following:
H (Vent): Air is directed to the instrument panel outlets.
) (Bi-Level): Air is divided between the instrument
panel and floor outlets. Some air is directed toward the
windshield and side window outlets. Cooler air is
directed to the upper outlets and warmer air to the floor
outlets.
6 (Floor): Air is directed to the floor outlets. Some air
also comes out of the defroster and side window
outlets. The recirculation button cannot be selected in
floor mode.
- (Defog): This mode clears the windows of fog or
moisture. Air is directed to the floor and windshield
outlets.
0 (Front Defrost): Press the front defrost button to
clear the windows of fog or frost more quickly. The
system automatically controls the fan speed if defrost is
selected from AUTO mode. If the outside temperature
is 40°F (4°C) or warmer, the air conditioning compressor
runs automatically to help dehumidify the air and dry
the windshield.
Do not drive the vehicle until all the windows are clear.
# A/C (Air Conditioning): Press to turn the air
conditioning system on or off. When the system is on,
the system automatically begins to cool and dehumidify
the air inside of the vehicle. The air conditioning
symbol appears on the display when the air conditioning
is on and turns off when the air conditioning is off.
If the air conditioning is turned off while in front defrost
or defog mode, the air conditioning symbol turns off,
however, the A/C compressor remains on to help
de-humidify the air inside the vehicle. If one of the other
modes is selected, the compressor will then turn the
A/C off until it is selected again or the AUTO button is
pressed.
To avoid fogging the inside glass on rainy and humid
days at a temperature above freezing, press the
air conditioning button to run the A/C compressor.
Also it is best to avoid the use of the recirculation mode
except when maximum air conditioning performance
is needed or for short times to avoid exterior odors.
You may notice a slight change in engine performance
when the air-conditioning compressor shuts off and
turns on again. This is normal.
