the ventilation system.
Air can be directed to the floor, dash-
board outlets, or windshield. Sixsymbols are used to represent the
direction and flow of ventilation: MAX
A/C, Face, Bi-Level, Floor, Floor-Defrost and Defrost air position.
MAX A/C-Level (B, D)
Air flow is directed toward the upper
body and face. The MAX A/C mode
is used to cool the inside of the vehi-
cle faster.
In this mode, the air conditioning and the recirculated air position will be
selected automatically.
Face-Level (B, D)
Air flow is directed toward the upper
body and face. Additionally, eachoutlet can be controlled to direct theair discharged from the outlet.
Bi-Level (B, D, E, C)
Air flow is directed towards the face
and the floor.
Floor-Level (C, A, D, E)
Most of the air flow is directed to the
floor, with a small amount of the airbeing directed to the windshield and
side window defrosters.
Floor/Defrost-Level

Recirculated air position
The indicator light on the
button illuminates whenthe recirculated air posi-tion is selected.
With the recirculated air position selected, air
from the passenger com-
partment will be drawn
through the ventilationsystem and heated orcooled according to thefunction selected.
Outside (fresh) air position
The indicator light on the
button does not illumi-nates when the outside(fresh) air position isselected.
With the outside (fresh) air position selected, air
enters the vehicle fromoutside and is heated or
cooled according to thefunction selected.
✽✽ NOTICE
Prolonged operation of the heater in
the recirculated air position (with-
out air conditioning selected) may
cause fogging of the windshield and
side windows and the air within the
passenger compartment may
become stale.
In addition, prolonged use of the air
conditioning with the recirculated
air position selected will result in
excessively dry air in the passenger
compartment.
Continued use of the climate
control system operation in
the recirculated air position(without the air conditioning
selected) may allow humidity
to increase inside the vehicle
which may fog the glass and
obscure visibility.
Do not sleep in a vehicle with the air conditioning or heating
system on. It may cause seri-
ous injury or death due to a
drop in the oxygen level
and/or body temperature.
Continued use of the climate
control system operation in
the recirculated air position
can cause drowsiness or
sleepiness, that may cause
loss of vehicle control result-
ing in an accident. Set the air
intake control to the outside
(fresh) air position as much as
possible while driving.

✽✽NOTICE
 When using the air conditioning system, monitor the engine temper-
ature gauge closely while driving
up hills or in heavy traffic when
outside temperatures are high. Air
conditioning system operation may
cause engine overheating.
Continue to use the blower fan but
turn the air conditioning system off
if the engine temperature gauge
indicates engine overheating.
 When opening the windows in humid weather, air conditioning
may create water droplets inside
the vehicle. Since excessive water
droplets may cause damage to
electrical equipment, air condi-
tioning should only be operated
with the windows closed. Air conditioning system operation
tips
If the vehicle has been parked in
direct sunlight during hot weather,
open the windows for a short time
to let the hot air inside the vehicle
escape.
To help reduce moisture inside of the windows on rainy or humid
days, decrease the humidity inside
the vehicle by operating the airconditioning system.
During air conditioning system operation, you may occasionallynotice a slight change in enginespeed as the air conditioning com-
pressor cycles. This is a normal
system operation characteristic.
Use the air conditioning system every month for a few minutes to
ensure maximum system perform-
ance. When using the air conditioning
system, you may notice clear water
dripping (or even puddling) on the
ground under the passenger side
of the vehicle. This is a normal sys-
tem operation characteristic.
Operating the air conditioning sys- tem in the recirculated air position
provides maximum cooling, how-
ever, continual operation in this
mode may cause the air inside the
vehicle to become stale.
During cooling operation, you may occasionally notice a misty air flow
because of rapid cooling and
humid air intake. This is a normal
system operation characteristics.
