Air comes from the outlets in the instrument
panel. Each of these outlets can be individually
adjusted to direct the flow of air. The air vanes of the
center outlets and outboard outlets can be moved up
and down or side-to-side to regulate airflow direction.
There is a shut off wheel, located below the air vanes,
to shut off or adjust the amount of airflow from theseoutlets.  Bi-Level Mode
Air comes from the instrument panel outlets and
floor outlets. A slight amount of air is directed
through the defrost and side window demister outlets.

Air comes from the floor, defrost and side win-
dow demist outlets. This mode works best in
cold or snowy conditions.
 Defrost Mode
Air comes from the windshield and side window

A/C (Air Conditioning)
The Air Conditioning (A/C) button allows the opera-
tor to manually activate or deactivate the air condition-
ing system. When the air conditioning system is turned
on, cool dehumidified air will flow through the outlets
into the cabin. For improved fuel economy, press the
A/C button to turn off the air conditioning and manu-
ally adjust the blower and airflow mode settings.
NOTE:
• For Manual Climate Controls, if the system is in Mix
or Defrost Mode, the A/C can be turned off.
• If fog or mist appears on the windshield or side glass,
select Defrost mode and increase blower speed.
• If your air conditioning performance seems lower
than expected, check the front of the A/C condenser
(located in front of the radiator), for an accumulation of
dirt or insects. Clean with a gentle water spray from
behind the radiator and through the condenser. Fabric
front fascia protectors may reduce airflow to the con-
denser, reducing air conditioning performance.
Recirculation Control
When outside air contains smoke, odors, or
high humidity, or if rapid cooling is desired,
you may wish to recirculate interior air by
pressing the Recirculation control button.
The recirculation indicator will illuminate when this
button is selected. Push the button a second time to
