Air comes from the floor, defrost and side win-
dow demist outlets. This mode works best in
cold or snowy conditions.
• Defrost Mode
Air comes from the windshield and side window
demist outlets. Use Defrost mode with maxi-
mum temperature settings for best windshield and side
window defrosting and defogging. When the Defrost
mode is selected, the blower level may increase.

Press the Sync soft-key to toggle the Sync feature
On/Off. The Sync indicator is illuminated when this
feature is enabled. Sync is used to synchronize the
passenger and rear temperature setting with the driver
temperature setting. Changing the passenger tempera-
ture setting while in Sync will automatically exit this
feature.
NOTE: When SYNC is ON and the driver selects
Mix or Defrost Mode, Rear mode will be Floor.

CLIMATE CONTROL FUNCTIONS
A/C (Air Conditioning)
The Air Conditioning (A/C) button allows the opera-
tor to manually activate or deactivate the air condition-
ing system. When the air conditioning system is turned
on, cool dehumidified air will flow through the outlets
into the cabin. For improved fuel economy, press the
A/C button to turn off the air conditioning and manu-
ally adjust the blower and airflow mode settings.
NOTE:
• For Manual Climate Controls, if the system is in Mix
or Defrost Mode, the A/C can be turned off.
• If fog or mist appears on the windshield or side glass,
select Defrost mode and increase blower speed.
• If your air conditioning performance seems lower
than expected, check the front of the A/C condenser
(located in front of the radiator), for an accumulation of
dirt or insects. Clean with a gentle water spray from
behind the radiator and through the condenser. Fabric
front fascia protectors may reduce airflow to the con-
denser, reducing air conditioning performance.
Recirculation Control
When outside air contains smoke, odors, or
high humidity, or if rapid cooling is desired,
you may wish to recirculate interior air by
pressing the Recirculation control button.
The recirculation indicator will illuminate when this
button is selected. Push the button a second time to
