154 Climate Controls
The A/C does not work when the
outside temperature is below 4 °C
(40 °F). If A/C is pressed the
indicator flashes three times and
turns off to show that the A/C mode
is not available. If the A/C is on and
the outside temperature drops
below a temperature which is too
cool for air conditioning to be
effective, the A/C indicator turns off
to show that the A/C mode has
been canceled.
On hot days, open the windows
briefly to let hot inside air escape.
This helps reduce the time it takes
for the interior of the vehicle to
cool down.
The air conditioning system
removes moisture from the air, so
water might drip under the vehicle
while idling or after turning off the
engine. This is normal.
@:Press to alternate between
recirculating air inside the vehicle or
pulling in outside air. An indicator
light comes on when recirculation
mode is active. With each ignition
cycle, the recirculation mode is
reset to automatic. When the engine is turned on, outside air or
recirculation is automatically
selected for better performance.
When recirculation is activated, the
air conditioning compressor comes
on and helps to quickly cool the air
inside the vehicle. This mode also
helps to reduce the outside air and
odors that may enter the vehicle.
The recirculation mode cannot be
used with floor, defog, or defrosting
modes. If recirculation is selected in
these modes, the indicator flashes
three times and turns off. While in
recirculation mode the windows can
fog when the weather is cold and
damp. To clear the fog, select either
the defog or defrost mode and
increase the fan speed.
REAR :
Press to turn the rear
heating and air conditioning on or
off. See Rear Climate Control
System 0156 orRear Climate

defogger on or off. An indicator light
on the button comes on to show that
the rear window defogger is on. Do

will turn off if the vehicle is
turned off.

rearview mirrors, fog or frost is
cleared from the surface of the
mirror when the rear window defog
