To adjust the airflow speed, turn the fan control knob
located on the left side of the control panel to the desired
blower setting.
The system also has a front AUTO setting that can
automatically change the temperature of the rear seating
area based on information from the front control. An
OFF setting, located on the front climate control panel,
also allows the driver to turn off the rear passenger seat
controls from the front seat.

airflow or counterclockwise for headliner vent airflow.
Generally, the upper vents are used for air conditioning
and the floor vents for heating. The control knob can be
set to any blend setting.
For rear control operation, use the above instructions.

3-11 Air Conditioning
On hot days, open the windows long enough to let hot
air inside escape. This reduces the time it takes for your
vehicle to cool down. Then keep your windows closed
for the air conditioner to work its best.
The RECIRCULATION button allows the air inside
your vehicle to be recirculated. This setting helps to
maximize your air conditioner's performance and your
vehicle's fuel economy. This setting also cools air the
fastest and can be used to keep unwanted odors
and/or dust from entering the vehicle. When using
the air conditioner, turn off the RECIRCULATION
button after the vehicle reaches a comfortable interior
temperature. When the right knob on the control panel
is between HEATER and DEFROST, the recirculation
feature will not function to reduce window fogging.The A/C button, below the mode knob, allows the air
coming into your vehicle to be cooled. This setting is
useful for normal cooling on hot days. When you use
A/C with the RECIRCULATION button pushed in,
turn off recirculation as soon as the vehicle reaches a
comfortable interior temperature.
Maximum air conditioning performance is obtained by
pressing the A/C button, the RECIRCULATION button
and turning the temperature knob fully counterclockwise
to the blue area. This setting also cools air the fastest.
After the vehicle's interior reaches a comfortable
temperature, press the OUTSIDE AIR button to
place the air conditioning system in the normal mode.
Passenger Compartment Air Filter (If Equipped)
If your vehicle has air conditioning, it is equipped
with a passenger compartment air filter, which filters
outside air entering the vehicle. For information on
replacing the filter see ªPassenger Compartment
Air Filterº in the Index.
