RECIRC
(Recirculation): Press this button to limit the
amount of outside air coming into the vehicle. It can
be used to prevent outside air and odors from entering
your vehicle or to help heat or cool the air inside
your vehicle more quickly. Press this button to turn the
recirculation mode
on
or
off.
When the button is
pressed, an indicator light will come on. The recirculation
mode cannot be used with the FRONT defrost or
VENT mode.
On hot days, open the windows to let hot 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, press the AUTO button
and the system will automatically enter recirculation
mode and the temperature will be at the full cold position
for maximum cooling.
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.
Sensors
The solar sensor on your vehicle monitors the solar
radiation and the air inside of your vehicle, then uses the
information to maintain the selected temperature by
initiating needed adjustments to the temperature, the fan
speed and the air delivery system. The system may
also supply cooler air to the side of the vehicle facing the
sun. The recirculation mode will also be activated, as
necessary.
Do
not cover the solar sensor located in the
center of the instrument panel, near the windshield,
or the system will not work properly.
Defogging and Defrosting
9
FRONT:
Press the FRONT button to defrost the
windshield by directing airflow toward the windshield and
outboard outlets (for the side windows). To turn
off
FRONT, press the AUTO or
AIR
FLOW buttons.
If
the AIR FLOW up button is pressed while in the
FRONT defrost mode, the system will direct the air
toward the instrument panel outlets.
If
the AIR FLOW
down button is pressed while in the FRONT defrost
mode, the system will direct the air toward the floor,
and the FRONT defrost mode will cancel.
