LOWER: This setting sends most of the air

through the ducts near the floor. The rest comes out
of the defroster and side window vents. When using
this setting in the recirculation mode, the windows
may fog up. See “Recirculation” in the Index for
more information.

DEFOG: This setting allows half of the air to go

to the floor ducts and half to the defrost and side
window vents. The air conditioning compressor will run
automatically in this setting unless the outside
temperature is below 38

_F (3.3_C). (Even when the

compressor is running, you can control the temperature.)

DEFROST: This setting directs most of the air

through the defrost and side window vents. Some of the
air goes to the floor ducts. The air conditioning
compressor will run automatically in this setting unless
the outside temperature is below 38

_F (3.3_C).

(Even when the compressor is running, you can control
the temperature.)

Air Conditioning Compressor Button

Press the A/C button in to operate the air conditioning
compressor. The indicator light on the button will flash
briefly and stay on solid to let you know your air
conditioning will come on. If the light on the A/C button
turns off after the flashing has stopped your air
conditioning will not come on. Your air conditioning
will not come on for two reasons:
D The outside temperature is below 38_F (3.3_C).
D The refrigerant pressure is too low or too high. If the

outside temperature is above 38

_F (3.3_C). See “Air

Conditioning Refrigerants” in the Index.

Recirc Button

: This button is used to recirculate much of the air

inside your vehicle. This setting is not available in
DEFOG or DEFROST. Operating the system in the
RECIRC may cause the windows to fog up when the
weather is cold and damp. To clear the fog, use the
DEFOG or DEFROST modes and increase the fan
speed. To avoid refogging of the windows, use the
OUTSIDE AIR mode.

Outside Air Button

: This button is used to bring in outside air.
