When AUTO is selected, the recirculated air feature operates automatically
for existing conditions. You may override the automatic recirculated air
operation at any time. To manually control the recirculated air operation
and cancel automatic recirculated air operation, press the recirculated air
control. When the recirculated air is manually controlled in the AUTO
mode, the AUTO indicator light will remain lit. To return to full automatic
recirculated air operation, press AUTO.
Do not leave the DATC system in recirculated air operation for extended
periods of time while the system is in a heating mode or in cold/damp
conditions as this may cause interior fogging of the front, side and rear
windows.
Manual override controls
The manual override controls allow you to manually determine where
airflow is directed. To return to fully automatic control, press AUTO.
When a manual airflow override control is selected, the DATC system will
turn off the AUTO indicator and display the indicators of all operating
override controls. More than one override control indicator may turn on
when an override control is selected.
The air conditioning compressor can operate in all modes except OFF.
However, the air conditioning will only function if the outside
temperature is about 2É C (35É F) or higher.
Since the air conditioner removes considerable moisture from the air
during operation, it is normal if clear water drips on the ground under
the air conditioner drain while the system is working and even after you
have stopped the vehicle.

air to reduce window fogging. For added customer comfort, the air
distributed through the floor ducts may be slightly warmer than the air
sent to the windshield defroster ducts. When floor/defrost is selected,
the system will automatically provide outside air to reduce window
fogging. Recirculation and A/C override controls can be selected.

defroster ducts and the demister outlets. It can be used to clear ice or
fog from the windshield. The system will allow some airflow out the

(35É F) or higher, the air conditioner will automatically dehumidify the
air to reduce window fogging. (Note that the A/C indicator does not
illuminate when this mode is selected.) Recirculation and A/C override
controls cannot be selected.

feature heats the front glass area below the area heated by the front
defroster where the windshield wipers sit in their parked position. When
activated, the feature keeps the wiper blades warm and reduces the
chance of ice build up on the blades. The indicator will light when the
feature is in operation.
