DEFOG: This setting divides the air between the

windshield and lower outlets with a small amount of air

directed toward the side window vents. This is useful

when fog appears on the windshield or side glass due to

rain or snowy conditions.

DEFROST: Use this setting to quickly remove fog

or frost from the windshield. This setting directs most of

the airflow to the windshield with a small amount of air

directed toward the lower and side window outlets.

Mode Buttons

These buttons control the air intake, the air conditioning

and the rear window defogger operation.

OUTSIDE AIR: Press this button and it

will bring outside air into the vehicle. The light on the

button will come on when operating. Use this setting

while trying to defrost or defog windows to help

clear moisture.

RECIRCULATE: Press this button to limit the

amount of outside air entering the vehicle by

recirculating most of the air inside the vehicle. The light

on the button will come on when operating. This setting

is helpful when you are trying to cool the air quickly or

to limit odors entering the vehicle. Recirculate cannot be

used while in the DEFROST or DEFOG modes.

Operating the system in the recirculation mode may

cause fogging of the vehicle’s windows when the

weather is cold and damp. To clear the fog, switch the

system to either the DEFOG or DEFROST mode and

increase the fan speed. To avoid re

-fogging of the

windows, operate the system in the OUTSIDE

AIR mode.

A/C: This button turns the air conditioning

compressor off or on under most conditions. The light

on the A/C button comes on when the compressor is

operating. The air conditioning does not operate at

temperatures below approximately 35 F to 40 F

(2 C to 4 C). The air conditioning cools and

dehumidifies the air coming into the vehicle. The air

conditioning cannot be turned off in DEFROST, as it

helps to remove moisture from the vehicle. It also helps

to keep the windows clear.

The air conditioning may be forced off at high engine

speeds or high engine oil or coolant temperatures.

See “Rear Window Defogger” later in this section for

more information.
