H(Vent) (Outside Air):This mode directs
outside air to the instrument panel outlets. If driving
in city traffic, and the vehicle is stopped and
idling, or the weather is hot, press the recirculation

toward the windshield. Slightly cooler air is directed
to the instrument panel outlets and warmer air is
directed to the oor outlets.

when the recirculation button is pressed.
The middle knob on the climate control panel can
also be used to select the defog or defrost mode.

Defogging and Defrosting
Fog on the inside of the vehicle is a result of high
humidity causing moisture to condense on the cool
window glass. This can be minimized if the climate
control system is used properly. There are
two modes to clear frost or fog from the windshield.
Use the defog mode to clear the windows of
condensation and to warm the vehicle’s occupants.
Use the defrost mode to remove frost or
condensation from the windshield quickly.
See “Rear Window Defogger” later in this section
for information on clearing the rear window of
fog or ice.
.(Floor/Defog):Use the oor/defog mode to
clear the windows of fog or moisture and to
warm the passengers. This mode directs the air
equally between the windshield and the oor
outlets, along with some directed to the side
window outlets.
This mode will automatically use outside air. The
air conditioning compressor will be engaged
unless the outside temperature is 40°F (4°C) or
below. Recirculation cannot be selected when
in this mode even though the indicator light comes
on when the recirculation button is pressed.
1(Defrost):Use the defrost mode to remove
fog or frost from the windshield more quickly. This
mode directs most of the air to the windshield
and the side window outlets, with some air directed
to the oor outlets. This mode has a timer and
will shut off after ve minutes.
This mode will automatically use outside air. The
air conditioning compressor will be engaged
unless the outside temperature is 40°F (4°C) or

This system relies upon receiving specic
information from these stations and only works
when the information is available. In rare cases, a
radio station may broadcast incorrect information
that causes the radio features to work improperly.
If this happens, contact the radio station.
While the radio is tuned to an RDS station, the
station name or call letters appear on the display
instead of the frequency. RDS stations may
also provide the time of day, a program type (PTY)
for current programming, and the name of the
program being broadcast.
