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.
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.
h(Recirculation):Press this
button to turn the recirculation mode
on or off. 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. The recirculation mode cannot be
used with floor, defrost, or defogging
modes. If recirculation is selected
while in one of those modes, the
indicator flashes three times and
turns off. The air conditioning
compressor will also come on
when this mode is activated. While
in recirculation mode the windows
may fog when the weather is cold
and damp. To clear the fog, select
either the defog or defrost mode
and increase the fan speed. The
recirculation mode can also be
turned off by turning off the engine.

windows are clear.
For vehicles with heated outside
rearview mirrors, the mirrors will
heat to help clear fog or frost from
the surface of the mirror when
the rear window defog button is
pressed.
Notice: Do not use anything
sharp on the inside of the rear
window. If you do, you could cut
or damage the warming grid, and
the repairs would not be covered
by the vehicle warranty. Do not
attach a temporary vehicle
license, tape, a decal, or anything
similar to the defogger grid.
