and air conditioning capabilities are provided in this mode. For added
customer comfort, when the temperature control knob is anywhere in
between the full hot and full cold positions, the air distributed through
the front and rear floor ducts will be slightly warmer than the air sent
to the windshield defroster ducts. If the outside temperature is about
4ÉC (40ÉF) or higher, the air conditioner will automatically dehumidify
the air to reduce fogging.

(Defrost)-Distributes outside air through the windshield
defroster ducts. It can be used to clear ice or fog from the windshield.
If the outside temperature is about 4ÉC (40ÉF) or higher, the air
conditioner will automatically dehumidify the air to reduce fogging.
However, the indicator will not light unless the A/C control is selected.
Cooling your vehicle with outside air
Cooling your vehicle with air conditioned outside air is quieter but less
economical than using air conditioned recirculated air. It also has less
cooling capacity and is not recommended for high outside temperatures.
In order to cool your vehicle using outside air:
1. Turn the mode selector to
(panel),(panel and floor) or
(floor).
2. Press the
A/C(A/C) selector. The indicator light on the A/C selector
will illuminate.
3. Turn the temperature control knob counterclockwise to COOL.
4. Turn the fan speed control to the position of your choice.
During periods of high humidity, vapor may be emitted from the air
outlets when using the A/C system with outside air. This can be
corrected by using MAX A/C to cool the vehicle.
