When your ASR system is
limiting wheel spin, the
ASR ACTIVE light will
come on. Slippery road
conditions may exist
if this
light comes on,
so adjust
your driving accordingly.
The light will stay on for a few seconds after the ASR
system stops limiting wheel spin.
The ASR ACTIVE light also comes on briefly, as a bulb
check, when the engine is started. If the light doesn’t
come on then, have it fixed
so it will be there to tell you
when the system is active.

OFF: The system is off.
RECIRCULATE: Provides maximum cooling or
quick cool-down
on very hot days. This setting
recirculates most of the air inside your vehicle. If it is
used for long periods of time, the air may become dry.
This setting directs air through the upper air vents. It
will work when the outside temperatures are above
freezing.
'''9 NORMAL A/C: Use for normal cooling on hot
days. This setting cools outside air and directs it through
the instrument panel vents.
The air conditioner compressor also operates in
DEFROST. It only works when the outside temperature is
above freezing. When the air conditioner compressor is on,
you may sometimes notice slight changes in your vehicle's
engine speed and power. This is normal because the
system
is designed to cycle the compressor on and off to
keep the desired cooling and help fuel economy.
