LOWER: This setting directs most of the air
through the lower ducts to the floor area of the vehicle
with some of the air also directed toward the windshield
and side window vents.
DEFOG: This setting divides the air between the
windshield and lower outlets with a small amount
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
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.
FRESH 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 fresh 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.
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.
