•
(Floor & Defrost) – Distributes outside air through the floor
ducts, windshield defroster ducts and the side window demisters.
However, the A/C indicator will not be lit. The air distributed through

•
(Defrost) – Distributes outside air through the windshield
defroster ducts and the side window demisters. However, the A/C
indicator will not be lit. This mode will clear ice and fog from the
windshield.
Since the air conditioner removes moisture from the air, it is
considered normal operation if water drips on the ground under
the air conditioner drain.
A/C control
A/C
Used to manually enable or disable the operation of the air conditioning
in all modes except Floor & Defrost, Defrost and Max A/C.
When manual A/C is selected (On) the indicator will be lit. When manual
A/C is selected (Off) the indicator will not be lit.
In Floor & Defrost and Defrost, if the outside temperature is above
approximately 2°C (35°F), the air conditioner will automatically
dehumidify the air to reduce fogging. The A/C indicator will not
illuminate.
When placed in Max A/C, the A/C indicator will automatically illuminate
and cannot be manually disabled.
Operating tips
• To reduce fogging in humid weather conditions, unless in Defrost or
Floor and Defrost, press the A/C control before driving as the air
conditioning removes moisture from the air. To reduce humidity
buildup inside the vehicle under warm weather conditions, do not
drive with the climate control system in the Off mode.
• To reduce humidity buildup inside the vehicle under cold weather
conditions, do not drive with the climate control system in Max A/C or
Off mode.
• Under normal weather conditions, do not leave your vehicle in the
Max A/C or Off mode when turning off the vehicle.
• Under snowy or dirty weather conditions, leave your vehicle in the
Max A/C or Off mode when turning off the ignition.
• Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the exterior base of the
windshield.
