to the upper outlets and warmer air to the oor outlets. Vehicles with Air Conditioning shown,
without Air Conditioning similar
3-18

6(Floor):Air is directed to the oor outlets, with
some air directed to the windshield and side windows.
-(Defog):This mode clears the windows of fog
or moisture. Air is directed to the windshield, side
window, and oor outlets. To defog the windows faster,
turn the temperature control knob clockwise to the
warmest setting. In this mode, the system runs the
air conditioning compressor.
0(Defrost):This mode removes fog or frost from the
windshield more quickly. Air is directed to the windshield,
with some air directed to the side window outlets and
the oor outlets. To defrost the windows faster, turn
the temperature control knob clockwise to the warmest
setting. In this mode, the system runs the air conditioning
compressor.
For best results, clear all snow and ice from the
windshield before defrosting.
#(Air Conditioning):For vehicles with air
conditioning, press this button to turn the air conditioning
system on or off. An indicator light comes on to show
that the air conditioning is on.
On hot days, open the windows to let hot inside air
escape; then close them. This helps to reduce the time
it takes for the vehicle to cool down. It also helps the
system to operate more efficiently.For quick cool down on hot days:
1. Select the
Hmode.
2. Select the
hmode.
3. Select
#.
4. Select the coolest temperature.
5. Select the highest fan speed.
Using these settings together for long periods of time
may cause the air inside of the vehicle to become
too dry. To prevent this from happening, after the air
in the vehicle has cooled, turn off the recirculation
by pressing the button again.
The air conditioning system removes moisture from
the air, so a small amount of water might drip under
the vehicle while idling or after turning off the engine.
This is normal.
The air conditioning compressor cannot be turned on
when the fan is off.
h(Recirculation):Press to turn the recirculation
mode on. An indicator light comes on to show that
recirculation is on.
This mode recirculates and helps to quickly cool the
air inside the vehicle. It can be used to help prevent
outside air and odors from entering the vehicle.

{CAUTION:
Adding only plain water to the cooling system can
be dangerous. Plain water, or some other liquid
such as alcohol, can boil before the proper coolant
mixture will. The vehicle’s coolant warning system
is set for the proper coolant mixture. With plain
water or the wrong mixture, the engine could get
too hot but you would not get the overheat
warning. The engine could catch re and you or
others could be burned. Use a 50/50 mixture of
clean, drinkable water and DEX-COOL
®coolant.
Notice:In cold weather, water can freeze and crack
the engine, radiator, heater core and other parts.
Use the recommended coolant and the proper
coolant mixture.
{CAUTION:
You can be burned if you spill coolant on hot
engine parts. Coolant contains ethylene glycol and
it will burn if the engine parts are hot enough.
Do not spill coolant on a hot engine.
1. You can remove the coolant surge tank pressure
cap when the cooling system, including the coolant
surge tank pressure cap and upper radiator hose,
is no longer hot. Turn the pressure cap slowly
counterclockwise about two or two and one-half
turns. If you hear a hiss, wait for that to stop.
This will let any pressure still left to be vented
out the discharge hose.
2. Then keep turning the
pressure cap slowly,
and remove it.
