and the oil level is never sensed while the engine is running. If the LOW
OIL LEVEL message appears, and your vehicle has been parked on levcl
ground with the engine off for at least 30 minutcs, vour oil level should be

A/C Purge
If your vehicle is sitting out on a hot day and you have it set on AUTO,
the air will first flow out the floor air ducts for a few seconds. That is
normal. This is to
expel hot air in the air ducts. As the air is cooled. the
flow will move through the A/C outlets. If you start your vehicle with the
fan setting on HI it will skip the A/C Purge.
Cold Weather Purge
On cold days when your system is first turned on, in either the AUTO or
ECON setting? and the fan setting is not on HI, a small amount of air will
flow through thc defroster duct whilc the system is waiting for the engine
coolant
to warm up enough to provide hcat. This prevents your breath
from fogging your windshield. As the coolant warm up, the blower fan
specd
will gradually increase and air will flow from the heater outlets,
with some airflow to the windshield to prevent fogging under most normal
conditions.
Manually Recirculate Inside Air
u

recirculate the air from thi inside, in the AUTO setting, just set the
temperature to 60” F (16* C) and adjust your fan speed:

button until AUTO is
displayed on the
screen.
At this setting, the fan speed is controlled automatically.
If it is cold outside, the blower may not run in the maximum high fan
speed right away. The system checks the temperature of the coolant to
assure it is warm enough to provide heat. When thc coolant is warnl, the
