Half of the air is directed through the instrument panel
outlets. Most of the remaining air is directed through the
floor vents and a small amount to the windshield
defroster and side window outlets.
(Floor): This setting sends most of the air through
the ducts near the floor. The remaining air comes out of
the defroster and side window outlets. The recirculation
button cannot be selected in this mode.
(Defogger): This setting sends half of the air to
the floor ducts and half to the defroster and side window
outlets. The air conditioning compressor will run
automatically in this setting unless the outside
temperature is below 40
F (4
C). The air inlet will also
be automatically set to outside air. The recirculation
button cannot be selected in this mode.
(Defroster): This setting directs most of the air
through the defroster and side window vents. Some of
the air also goes to the floor ducts. The air conditioning
compressor will run automatically in this setting unless
the outside temperature is below 40
F (4
C). The air
inlet will also be automatically set to outside air. The
recirculation button cannot be selected in this mode.Mode Buttons

will light up when this button is selected. The system
will default back to the outside air setting, so you will
have to reselect this setting every time you restart
your vehicle.
While in the recirculation mode the system may cause
fogging of the windows when the weather is cold and

button to turn the air conditioning compressor on and
off. An indicator light will glow on this button when the
air conditioning compressor is turned on. The system
will cool and dehumidify the air inside the vehicle when
the A/C light and fan are on.
Air Conditioning
On very hot days, open the windows long enough to let
hot, inside air escape. This reduces the time for the
vehicle to cool down. Then keep your windows closed
for the air conditioner to work its best.
For quick cool
-down on very hot days, select a fan setting,
turn the right knob on the control panel to vent mode,
press the air conditioning compressor and recirculation
buttons, and move the temperature control all the way in
the blue area. If this setting is used for long periods of
time, the air in your vehicle may become too dry.
For normal cooling on hot days, turn the right knob on
the control panel to vent mode; press the air conditioning
compressor and the outside air buttons, and move the
temperature controls all the way in the blue area.
The system will bring in outside air and cool it.On cool, but sunny days, the sun may warm your upper
body, but your lower body may not be warm enough.
To remedy this, turn the right knob on the control panel
to bi
-level mode. Press the air conditioning compressor
button and move the temperature controls to a
comfortable setting.
Heating
On cold days, turn the right knob on the control panel to floor
mode. Press the outside air button and move the temperature
controls all the way in the red area. The system will bring in
outside air, heat it and send it to the floor ducts.
Ventilation
For mild outside temperatures when little heating or
cooling is needed, turn the right knob on the control panel
to vent mode, press the outside air button, and move the
temperature controls to a comfortable setting. Your vehicle
also has the flow
-through ventilation system described
later in this section.
Defogging and Defrosting
Your system has two settings for clearing the front and side
windows. To defrost the windows quickly, turn the fan to the
highest setting, and use defroster with the temperature
indicator(s) all the way in the red area. To warm passengers
while keeping the windows clear, use defogger. For more
information, see ªRecirculationº in the Index.
