When the weather is cool or damp, operating in
RECIRC for extended periods of time may cause
fogging of the vehicle's windows. To clear the fog, press
the OUTSIDE AIR button and select either DEFOG or
FRONT defrost. Be sure A/C OFF is not selected to
allow the air conditioning compressor to run
automatically and help dehumidify the air.
OUTSIDE AIR: Press this button to allow fresh
air to enter your vehicle if you currently have RECIRC
selected. You may also override the system's automatic
use of RECIRC by selecting OUTSIDE AIR.
FRONT: Press this button to clear the windshield.
The system will automatically control the fan speed if
you select defrost from AUTO. If the outside
temperature is 38
F (3
C) or warmer, your air
conditioning compressor will automatically run to help
dehumidify the air and dry the windshield.
Air Conditioning
On hot days, open the windows long enough to let hot
inside air 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.
If you have the standard system, for quick cool
-down on
very hot days, use the airflow from the PANEL outlets,
press RECIRC and A/C with the temperature knob in the
blue area. If this max A/C setting is used for long periods
of time, the air in your vehicle may become too cold and
dry. For normal cooling on hot days, use A/C without
RECIRC with the temperature knob in the blue area.
If you have the electronic system, in AUTO mode the
system will cool and dehumidify the air inside the vehicle.
Also while in AUTO mode, the system will maximize its
performance by using RECIRC as necessary.
On cool, but sunny days, with the standard system or
through manual operation of the electronic system, use
BI
-LEVEL to deliver warm air to the floor and cooler
air to the instrument panel outlets. To warm or cool the
air delivered, turn the TEMP knob up or down.

Ventilation Tips

Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow or
any other obstruction such as leaves. The heater and
defroster will work better, reducing the chance of
fogging your windows.

In cool damp weather, minimize your use of RECIRC
to reduce the chance of fogging your windows.

When you enter a vehicle with the standard system in
cold weather, select FLOOR mode to supply air
through the floor outlets. Then turn the fan on high for
a few moments before driving away. This will blow
moist air from the intake outlets toward the floor, not
the windshield. It reduces the chance of fogging your
windows. If you have the electronic system, the
AUTO setting will do this for you. Manual operation
of the electronic system in the FLOOR mode will also
supply air through the floor outlets.

Keep the air path under the front seats clear of
objects. This helps air to circulate throughout
your vehicle.Audio Systems
