MAX A/C Setting
Set the temperature control knob to the

Conditioning (A/C). The A/C indicator
illuminates when A/C is on.
NOTE:
For Manual Climate Controls, if the system is in
Mix, Floor or Defrost Mode, the A/C can be
turned off, but the A/C system shall remain
active to prevent fogging of the windows.
If fog or mist appears on the windshield or side
glass, select Defrost mode, and increase blower
speed if needed.
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 the front of the radiator
and through the condenser.
Recirculation Button

Push the Recirculation button on the
faceplate to change the system between
recirculation mode and outside air mode.
The Recirculation indicator and the A/C
indicator (if equipped) illuminate when the
Recirculation button is pressed. Recirculation can
be used when outside conditions such as smoke,
odors, dust, or high humidity are present.
Recirculation can be used in all modes except for
Defrost. Recirculation may be unavailable if
conditions exist that could create fogging on the
inside of the windshield. The A/C can be deselected
manually without disturbing the mode control
selection. Continuous use of the Recirculation
mode may make the inside air stuffy and window
fogging may occur. Extended use of this mode is
not recommended. On systems with Manual
Climate Controls, the Recirculation mode is not
allowed in Defrost mode to improve window
clearing operation. Recirculation is disabled
automatically if this mode is selected. Attempting
to use Recirculation while in this mode causes the
LED on the control button to blink and then turn off.

defrosting and defogging. When toggling the front
defrost mode button, the Climate Control system
will return to the previous setting.
