DEFROST: This setting directs most of the air

through the defrost and side window vents. Some of

the air goes to the floor ducts. The air conditioning

compressor will run automatically in this setting unless

the outside temperature is below 38 F (3.3 C).

(Even when the compressor is running, you can control

the temperature).

RECIRC: This setting recirculates the air inside

of your vehicle. This setting is not available in defog or

defrost mode. When operating the system in the

RECIRC mode, the windows may fog up when the

weather is cold and damp. To clear the fog, select either

the DEFOG or DEFROST mode and increase the fan

speed. To avoid re

-fogging of the windows, use the

OUTSIDE AIR mode.

OUTSIDE AIR: This setting brings in outside air.

Air Conditioning

On very hot days, open the windows long enough to let

hot, inside air escape. This reduces the time the

compressor has to run, which should help fuel economy.

For quick cool

-down on very hot days, use UPPER and

RECIRC. If this setting is used for long periods of time,

the air in your vehicle may become too dry.

For normal cooling on hot days, use UPPER and

OUTSIDE AIR with the compressor on. The system will

bring in outside air and cool it.

On cool but sunny days, the sun may warm your upper

body, but your lower body may not be warm enough. To

remedy this, you can use BI

-LEV with the compressor

on. The system will bring in outside air and direct it to

your upper body, while sending slightly warmed air to

your lower body. You may notice this temperature

difference more at some times than others.

Heating

On cold days use LOWER. The system will bring in

outside air, heat it and send it to the floor ducts.

If your vehicle has an engine coolant heater, you can use

it to help your system provide warm air faster when it’s

cold outside (0 F (-18 C) or lower). An engine coolant

heater warms the coolant your engine and heating

system use to provide heat. See “Engine Coolant

Heater” in the Index.
