NOTE:
²The compressor will not engage until the engine has
been running for a few seconds.
²If your air conditioning performance seems lower than
expected, check the A/C air filter (ATC equipped
vehicles only) and the front of the A/C condenser for
an accumulation of dirt or insects. The A/C condenser
is located in front of the radiator. The A/C air filter is
located under the instrument panel on the passenger
side.
²Fabric type fascia protectors tend to block the amount
of air to the condenser and may reduce air condition-
ing performance.

off the indicator light, and the A/C compressor. Move the
temperature control lever to the desired temperature.

tion feature will be cancelled.
²In cold weather, use of the Recirculation mode may
lead to excessive window fogging. The Recirculation

²If the recirculation button is pressed while in the Mix
or Defrost mode, the indicator light in the recirculation
button will flash 3 times indicating that recirculation is
not allowed.
A/C Recirculation Programming
The recirculation control is programmed to cancel the
recirculation mode when the ignition key is turned OFF
and will reset to outside air mode when the ignition key
is turned ON. The frequent use of outside air will help
keep odors from building up within the air conditioner-
heater housing. It is recommended that the recirculation
mode be used as little as possible, especially in humid
climates.
For hot and dry climates, or people who are allergic to
pollen and find frequent use of the recirculation mode
necessary, the recirculation mode can be programmed to
not automatically reset to the outside mode by using the
following procedures:
²Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
²Set the mode control to ªPANELº.
²Depress and hold in the ªPOWERº button.
²Start the engine, and continue to hold in the ªPOWERº
button until the indicator light starts flashing repeat-
edly.
²Press the recirculation button until the indicator light
remains lit.
²The selection will be stored when the ignition switch is
turned OFF or if the ªPOWERº button is pressed.
If the recirculation indicator light is lit, the recirculation
mode will not reset when the engine is started. If the
recirculation indicator light is not lit, the recirculation
mode will reset to the outside air mode when the engine
is started. The programmed status can be changed back
and forth by following the above mentioned procedure.
