Air Conditioning
Recirculation
(Fan Control): Turn clockwise or
counterclockwise to increase or decrease the fan speed. Turn the knob all the way
counterclockwise to turn the system off.
Temperature Control: Turn clockwise or counterclockwise to increase
or decrease the temperature inside the vehicle.
Air Delivery Mode Control: Turn the knob to change the current

Select from the following:
(Vent): Air is directed to the instrument
panel outlets.
(Bi-Level): Air is divided between
the instrument panel outlets and the floor outlets.
(Floor): Air is directed to the floor
outlets with some air directed to the windshield and side window outlets.
(Defog): Air is directed to the windshield,
floor outlets, and side window vents. Use this mode to clear the windows of fog or
moisture and warm the passengers.
(Defrost): Air is directed to the
windshield, with some air directed to the side window vents. Use this mode to quickly
remove fog or frost from the windshield.
When defrost is selected, the
air conditioning turns on automatically to improve defrosting performance. In this
mode the air conditioning cannot be turned off and the recirculation mode cannot be
turned on.
Air Conditioning
(Air Conditioning): Press to turn on or off. An indicator
comes on when the air conditioning is on. The fan must be on to use the air conditioning.
The air conditioning cannot be turned off in defrost mode. If
is pressed, the indicator light flashes three times and the air
conditioning stays on.
For quick cool down on hot days, select the following settings together:
- Press
to turn on the air conditioning.
- Press
to turn on the recirculation.
- Select the coolest temperature and highest fan speed.
- Open the windows briefly to let hot air escape and then close them.
- Once the vehicle's interior cools down, turn off the recirculation, and
select
. This maintains the best comfort level during extended
driving.
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 should be turned on for at least five to ten minutes once
every two weeks to lubricate the air conditioning seals, even in the winter.
Recirculation
(Recirculation): Press to change
the air intake between recirculated air and outside air. An indicator light comes
on when the recirculation is on.
The recirculation mode recycles interior
air and is not recommended for extended use. If it is used for a long period of time,
the system automatically lets some fresh air into the vehicle for ventilation.
The recirculation mode cannot be turned on in defrost mode. If
is pressed, the indicator light flashes three times and recirculation stays
off.
Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to remove fog from the rear window.
It only works when the ignition is in ON/RUN.
(Rear Window Defogger): Press to
turn on or off. An indicator comes on when the rear window defogger is on. The rear
window defogger turns off automatically if it is left on.
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.
