²MAX A/C ± Distributes recirculated air through
the instrument panel registers. The A/C
compressor will only function if the outside
temperature is above approximately 6ÉC (43ÉF).
MAX A/C is noisier than A/C, but more
economical and efficient. This mode may prevent
undesirable odors from entering the vehicle.
²A/C ± Distributes outside air through the
instrument panel registers. The A/C compressor
will only function if the outside temperature is
above approximately 6ÉC (43ÉF) .

²(Panel) ± Distributes outside air through the
instrument panel registers. The air can not be
cooled below the outside temperature.
²O (Off) ± Outside air is shut out and the fan will
not operate. This mode may reduce undesirable
odors from entering the vehicle but may increase
the possibility of interior window fogging.
²
(Floor) ± Distributes outside air through the
floor ducts. The air cannot be cooled below the
outside temperature.
²
(Floor and defrost) ± Distributes outside air
through the windshield defroster ducts and the
floor duct and the side window demisters. The
A/C compressor will operate automatically if the
outside temperature is above approximately 6ÉC
(43ÉF) . The air distributed through the floor
ducts will be slightly warmer than the air sent to
the windshield defrost ducts and the side window
demisters.
²
(Defrost) ± Distributes outside air through
the windshield defroster ducts and the side
window demisters. The A/C compressor will
operate automatically if the outside temperature
is above approximately 6ÉC (43ÉF). This mode will
clear ice and fog from the windshield.
Since the air conditioner removes moisture
from the air, it is considered normal operation
if water drips on the ground under the air
conditioner drain.

Operating tips
²To reduce fogging in humid weather, place the
climate control system in Defrost and Rear
Defrost mode (if equipped) before driving.
²To reduce humidity buildup inside the vehicle
under warm weather conditions, do not drive with
the climate control system in the Off mode.
²To reduce humidity buildup inside the vehicle
under cold weather conditions, do not drive with
the climate control system in Max A/C (if
equipped), recirculation mode (if equipped) or
Off mode.

your vehicle in the Max A/C (if equipped),
recirculation mode (if equipped) or Off mode
when turning off the vehicle.
²Under snowy or dirty weather conditions, leave
your vehicle in the Max A/C (if equipped),
recirculation mode (if equipped) or Off mode
when turning off the ignition.
²Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the exterior
base of the windshield.
²To increase the efficiency of the A/C (if
equipped), drive with the windows slightly open
for two to three minutes. or until the vehicle has
been ªaired outº.
²Do not place objects under the front seat or over
the defroster ducts. They may reduce visibility,
fall into the ducts, or degrade the performance of
your climate control system.
Do not place objects on top of the
instrument panel, as these objects may
become projectiles in a collision or sudden stop.
