the oor outlets. Use this mode to send air to
the rear of the vehicle. Keep the area under the
front seats free of objects that could obstruct
airow to the rear of the vehicle.
The right knob can also be used to select defog

The system is designed to make adjustments to
help with fuel economy while still maintaining
the selected temperature.
On hot days, open the windows to let hot inside
air escape; then close them. This helps to reduce
the time it takes for your vehicle to cool down.
It also helps the system to operate more efficiently.
