8-2 Climate Controls
If the knob is set on“0”(zero), some
outside air will still enter the vehicle
and will be directed according to the
position of the mode knob.
Air Delivery Mode Control:
Turn the knob clockwise or
counterclockwise to change the
current airflow mode.
Select from the following modes:
H(Vent): Air is directed to the
instrument panel outlets.
\(Bi-Level): Air is divided
between the instrument panel
outlets and floor and side window
outlets. Cooler air is directed to the
upper outlets and warmer air to the
floor outlets.
[(Floor): Air is directed to the
floor outlets. Recirculation cannot
be selected while in floor mode
because this could cause the
interior window to fog.
/(Floor/Defog): This mode
clears the windows of fog or
moisture. Air is directed to the floor,
windshield, and side window outlets.
When this mode is selected, the
system runs the air conditioning
compressor unless the outside
temperature is near freezing or
below. Recirculation is not available
in this mode.
0(Defrost): This mode clears
the windshield of fog or frost more
quickly. Air is directed to the
windshield and side window outlets.
When this mode is selected, the
system runs the air conditioning
compressor unless the outside
temperature is near, or below
freezing. Recirculation is not
available in this mode.
Do not drive the vehicle until all the
windows are clear.
#(Air Conditioning): Press to
turn the air conditioning system on
or off. An indicator light on the
button comes on to show that the air
conditioning is on.
The fan control must be on to use
the air conditioning.
There might be a slight change in
engine performance when the air
conditioning compressor shuts off
and turns on again. This is normal.
The system is designed to make
adjustments to help with fuel
economy while still maintaining the
selected temperature.
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.
