Mix Mode

Air is directed through the floor, defrost and side
window demist outlets. This setting works best in

cold or snowy conditions that require extra heat at the
windshield. This setting is good for maintaining comfort,
while reducing moisture on the windshield.

Defrost Mode

Air is directed through the windshield and side
window demist outlets. Use the DEFROST mode

with maximum blower and warm temperature settings
for best windshield and side window defrosting.

NOTE:

The air conditioning compressor operates in MIX

and DEFROST, or a blend of these modes even if the A/C
button is not pressed. This dehumidifies the air to help
dry the windshield. To improve fuel economy, use these
modes only when necessary.

Recirculation Control

Press the Recirculation Control button to
choose between outside air intake or recircula-
tion of the air inside the vehicle. A LED will
illuminate when you are in Recirculation

mode. Only use the Recirculation mode to temporarily
block out any outside odors, smoke, or dust, and to cool
the interior rapidly upon initial start-up in very hot or
humid weather.

NOTE:
• If the RECIRCULATION button is pressed when the

system is in Defrost mode, the Recirculation LED
indicator will flash three times and then turn off to
indicate Recirculation mode is not allowed.

• Continuous use of the Recirculation mode may make

the inside air stuffy and window fogging may occur.
Extended use of this mode is not recommended.
