Mode selector control
The mode selector control allows
you to adjust the direction of the
airflow to the front part of the
passenger compartment.
The air conditioning can operate in all modes. However, the air
conditioning will only function if the outside temperature is about 6°C
(43°F) or higher.
Since the air conditioner removes considerable moisture from the air
during operation, it is normal if clear water drips on the ground under
the air conditioner drain while the system is working and even after you
have stopped the vehicle.
• MAX A/C-Uses recirculated air to cool the vehicle. MAX A/C is noisier
than
A/C
, but more economical and will cool the inside of the vehicle
faster. In this mode, the air conditioning will automatically engage if
the outside temperature is about 6°C (43°F) or higher. However, the
indicator will not light unless
A/C
is selected. If
A/C
was previously
selected before using MAX A/C, the indicator light will remain lit.
Airflow will be from the instrument panel registers. This mode can
also be used to prevent undesirable odors from entering the vehicle.
•
(Panel)-Distributes outside air through the instrument panel
registers. Heating and air conditioning capabilities are provided in this
mode. Push
A/C
to cool the vehicle below the outside temperature.
• OFF-Outside air is shut out and the fan will not operate. For short
periods of time only, use this mode to prevent undesirable odors from
entering the vehicle.
•
(Panel and floor)-Distributes outside air through the instrument
panel registers and the floor ducts. Heating and air conditioning
capabilities are provided in this mode. Push
A/C
to cool the vehicle
below the outside temperature. For added customer comfort, when
the temperature control knob is anywhere in between the full hot and
full cold positions, the air distributed through the floor ducts will be
slightly warmer than the air sent to the instrument panel registers.
•
(Floor)-Allows for maximum heating by distributing outside air
through the floor ducts. Heating and air conditioning capabilities are
provided in this mode. Push
A/C
to cool the vehicle below the outside
temperature.
