compressor.
To change the air delivery settings, turn the right knob
to select one of the following:
H(Vent):This mode directs air to the instrument
panel outlets.
)(Bi-Level):This mode directs half of the air to the
instrument panel outlets, and the remaining air to
the oor outlets. Some air will be directed toward the
side windows.
6(Floor):This mode directs most of the air to the
oor outlets with some air directed to the side window
outlets and windshield.
:(Outside Air):Press the right side of this button
to turn the outside air mode on. An indicator light comes
on to show that it is activated. Air from outside the
vehicle will circulate throughout the vehicle. The outside
air mode can be used with all modes, but it cannot
be used with the recirculation mode. Press this button to
cancel the recirculation mode.
?(Recirculation):Press the left side of the button
to turn the recirculation mode on. An indicator light
comes on to show that it is activated. The air inside the
vehicle will be recirculated through the climate control
system and the vehicle, not from outside the vehicle.
This mode is helpful when trying to limit odors from
entering the vehicle and for maximum air conditioning
performance in hot weather. The recirculation indicator
light blinks three times if you try to use recirculation
in a mode in which it cannot function.

Pressing this button will cancel the outside air mode.
When switching to the defog or defrost modes the
system automatically moves from recirculation to outside
air. When the vehicle or fan is turned off and back on,
the system defaults to outside air automatically.
Only use recirculation mode when it is needed for
comfort, since window fogging can occur.
Temperature Control:Turn the center knob clockwise
or counterclockwise to increase or decrease the
temperature inside the vehicle.
When it is cold outside 0°F (−18°C) or lower, use the
engine coolant heater, if vehicle has one, to provide
warmer air faster to the vehicle. An engine coolant
heater warms the coolant the engine uses that provides
heat to warm the inside of the vehicle. For more
information, seeEngine Coolant Heater on page 2-27.
#(Air Conditioning):Press this button to turn
the air conditioning system on or off. An indicator light
comes on to show it is activated.
The air-conditioning system removes moisture from the
air, so a small amount of water might drip under the
vehicle while it is idling or after the engine is turned off
is normal.
Maximum Air Conditioning
On hot days, open the windows to let hot inside air
escape; then close them. This helps reduce the time it
takes for the vehicle to cool down. It also helps the
air conditioning system operate more efficiently.
For quick cool down on hot days, do the following:
1. Select the
Cvent mode.
2. Select the highest fan speed.
3. Select
#air conditioning.
4. Select the
?recirculation mode.
5. Select the coolest temperature.
Using these settings together for long periods of time can
cause the air inside of the vehicle to become too dry. To
prevent this from happening, after the air in the vehicle
has cooled, turn the recirculation mode off.
