The air conditioning system removes moisture
from the air, so you may sometimes notice a small
amount of water dripping underneath your
vehicle while idling or after turning off the engine.
This is normal.
@MAX A/C (Maximum Air Conditioning):
Turn the right knob to this position for maximum air
conditioning. This will select air conditioning and
recirculation for maximum cooling of your
vehicle. This mode directs air to the instrument
panel outlets.
Recirculation:This mode keeps outside air from
coming in the vehicle. It can be used to prevent
outside air and odors from entering your vehicle or
help heat or cool the air inside your vehicle
more quickly. This mode will automatically be
selected when you select maximum air
conditioning.
((Heated Seats):Press this button to turn on
the heated seats. The button on the left controls
the driver’s seat and the button on the right
controls the passenger’s seat. SeeHeated Seats

Fog on the inside of windows is a result of high
humidity, or moisture, condensing on the cool
window glass. This can be minimized if the climate
control system is used properly. There are
two modes to clear fog or frost from your
windshield. Use the defog mode to clear the
windows of fog or moisture and warm the
passengers. Use the defrost mode to remove fog
or frost from the windshield more quickly.
Turn the right knob to select the defog or
defrost mode.
-(Defog):This mode directs air to the
windshield and the oor outlets. When you select
this mode, the system runs the air-conditioning
compressor unless the outside temperature is at or
below freezing. The recirculation mode cannot
be selected while in the defog mode.
