(Defrost): This mode removes fog or frost from

the windshield more quickly. Air is directed to the
windshield and side window vents, with some
directed to the floor vents. In this mode, the system
automatically forces outside air into the vehicle and
runs the air conditioning compressor unless the outside
temperature is close to freezing. The recirculation mode
cannot be selected while in the defrost mode.

The passenger temperature control cannot be activated
while in defrost mode. If the PASS button is pressed,
the button indicator flashes three times and will not
work. If the passenger temperature buttons are
adjusted, the driver temperature indicator changes.
The passenger temperature will not be displayed.

If vent, bi-level, or floor mode is selected again,
the climate control system displays the previous
temperature settings.

Do not drive the vehicle until all the windows are clear.

(Air Conditioning): Press to turn the air

conditioning (A/C) compressor on and off. An indicator
light comes on to show that the air conditioning is on.

If this button is pressed when the air conditioning
compressor is unavailable due to outside conditions,
the indicator flashes three times and then turns off.
If the air conditioning is on and the outside temperature
drops below a temperature which is too cool for air
conditioning to be effective, the air conditioning light
turns off to show that the air conditioning mode has
been canceled.

On hot days, open the windows long enough to let hot
inside air escape. This helps to reduce the time it takes
for the vehicle to cool down. It also helps the system to
operate more efficiently.

The air conditioning system removes moisture from the
air, so a small amount of water might drip under the
vehicle while idling or after turning off the engine.
This is normal.

@

(Recirculation): Press to turn the recirculation

mode on. An indicator light comes on to show that the
recirculation is on.

This mode recirculates and helps to quickly cool the
air inside the vehicle. It can be used to help prevent
outside air and odors from entering the vehicle.
