air distribution selection is either
(panel) or(panel/floor).
Recirculation may turn off automatically in some airflow modes to reduce
fog potential.

•To reduce humidity build-up inside the vehicle, do not drive with the
system off or with
(recirculated air) engaged and A/C off.
•Do not put objects under the front seats that will interfere with the
airflow to the back seats.
•Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of
the windshield.
•To improve the time to reach comfort in hot weather, drive with the
windows slightly open for 2-3 minutes after start up or until the
vehicle has been “aired out.”
During extreme high ambient temperatures when idling stationary for
extended periods of time in gear, it is recommended to run the A/C in
