• 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 (lo-
cated 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
condenser, reducing air conditioning performance.

Recirculation

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 turn off the
Recirculation mode and allow outside air into the vehicle.

NOTE:

In cold weather, use of Recirculation mode may

lead to excessive window fogging. On systems with
Manual Climate Controls, the Recirculation mode is not
allowed in Mix, Floor and Defrost modes to improve
window clearing operation. Recirculation will be dis-
abled automatically if these modes are selected. Attempt-
ing to use Recirculation while in these modes will cause
the LED in the control button to blink and then turn off.
