Climate Control System
With this system you can control the heating,
cooling, defrost, defog and ventilation of your
vehicle.
Manual Operation
Turn the right knob clockwise or counterclockwise
to direct the airow inside of your vehicle.To change the current mode, select one of the
following:
H(Vent):This mode directs air to the instrument
panel outlets.
)(Bi-Level):This mode directs half of the air to
the instrument panel outlets and to the oor outlets.
The ow can be divided between vent and oor
outlets depending upon where the knob is placed
between the settings. A little air is directed towards
the windshield and side window outlets. Cooler air
is directed to the upper outlets and warmer air to
the oor outlets.
6(Floor):This mode directs most of the air to
the oor outlets, with some of the air directed
to the windshield, side window outlets, and
second row oor outlets. In this mode, the system
will automatically select outside air. Recirculation
cannot be selected when in Floor Mode.
The right knob can also be used to select defog or
defrost mode. For more information, see
“Defogging and Defrosting” later in this section.

a combination of those two modes is selected.
The air conditioning compressor will be on unless
the outside temperature is close to freezing.

speed. Turn the knob all the way counterclockwise
to turn the front system off.
?(Recirculation):Press this button to turn
the recirculation mode on. When the button

This mode keeps outside air from entering the
vehicle. It can be used to reduce outside air and
prevent odors from entering your vehicle.
Recirculation may also help cool the air inside
your vehicle more quickly once the temperature
inside the vehicle is less than the outside
temperature.
The recirculation mode cannot be used with oor,
defrost, or defogging modes. If you try to select
recirculation in one of those modes, the indicator
will ash three times and turn off. The air
conditioning compressor will also come on when

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.
The air conditioning system removes moisture
from the air, so you may sometimes notice a small
amount of water dripping underneath your
vehicle while idling or after turning off the engine.
This is normal.
211

Defogging and Defrosting

climate control system is used properly. There
are two modes to clear fog or frost from your
windshield. Turn the right knob clockwise to select
the defog or defrost mode.
-(Defog):The defog mode is used to clear
the windows of fog or moisture and warm
the passengers. This mode directs air to the
windshield, oor outlets, and side window vents.
When you select this mode, the system turns
off recirculation and runs the air conditioning
compressor unless the outside temperature is
close to freezing. The recirculation mode cannot
be selected while in the defog mode. Do not drive
the vehicle until all the windows are clear.
0(Defrost):The defrost mode is used to
remove fog or frost from the windshield more
quickly. This mode directs a portion of the air to
the windshield and side window vents and some to
the oor vents. In this mode, the system will
automatically force outside air into your vehicle.
The recirculation mode cannot be selected while in
the defrost mode. The air conditioning compressor
will run automatically in this setting, unless the
