OFF:
The ventilation system always allows fresh air to
flow through your vehicle when it
is
moving. The system
will try to keep the air at a previously chosen temperature.
When the system is
off,
the blower fan is also off.
MAX (Maximum Air Conditioning): This mode directs
airflow through the instrument panel outlets. The amount
of outside air entering your vehicle is limited.
Also in this mode, the RECIRC function is activated
to create the maximum cooling effect in the vehicle.
If RECIRC was activated before selecting MAX, the light
in the RECIRC button will go off.
If
RECIRC is selected
after MAX, the light in the RECIRC button will not
come on.
NORM
(Normal
Air Conditioning): This mode cools
the outside air entering your vehicle and directs it
through the instrument panel outlets.
BI-LEV (Bi-Level Air Conditioning): This mode directs
approximately half of the air to the instrument panel
outlets, and then directs most of the remaining air to the
floor outlets. Some air may be directed toward the
windshield. Cooler air is directed to the upper outlets
and warmer air to the floor outlets. The air conditioning
compressor is on in this mode.
On hot days, open the windows to let hot inside air
escape; then close them. This helps to reduce the time
it takes for your vehicle to cool down. It
also
helps
the system to operate more efficiently.
For quick cool down on hot days, do the following:
1.
Select the vent mode.
2.
Select the recirculation mode.
3.
Select MAX.
4.
Select the coolest temperature.
5.
Select the highest fan speed.
Using these settings together for long periods of time
may cause the air inside of your vehicle to become too
dry. To prevent this from happening, after the air in
your vehicle has cooled, turn the recirculation mode off.
The air conditioning system removes moisture from
the air, so you may sometimes notice a small amount of
water dripping underneath your vehicle while idling or
after turning
off the engine. This is normal.
