when the air conditioning compressor shuts off and
turns on again. This is normal.
Defogging and Defrosting
Fog on the inside of windows is a result of high
humidity (moisture) condensing on the cool window
glass. This can be minimized if the climate
control system is used properly. There are
two modes to choose from to clear fog or frost
from your windshield. Use the defog mode to clear
the windows of fog or moisture and warm the
passengers. Use the defrost mode to remove fog
or frost from the windshield more quickly.
Turn the right knob clockwise or counterclockwise
to select one of the following modes:
-(Defog):This mode directs the air to the oor
outlets, windshield and side window outlets.
The recirculation button cannot be selected while
in defog mode.

vehicle has been off for more than three hours.
Outside Air Temperature Display
A new outside temperature reading will be
displayed if the vehicle has been off for more than
three hours. If the vehicle has been off for less
than three hours, the old temperature reading may
be displayed because underhood heat is
affecting the true outside temperature. Underhood
heat can also affect the outside temperature
while the engine is running. It may also take
several minutes of driving before the display
updates to the actual outside temperature.
