) (Bi-Level): This mode directs half of the air to
the instrument panel outlets, and the remaining
air to the floor outlets. Slightly cooler air is directed
to the instrument panel outlets and warmer air is
directed to the floor outlets.
6 (Floor): This mode directs most of the air to
the floor outlets with some air directed toward
the side window outlets and a little air directed to
the windshield.
In this mode, the system will automatically use
outside air.
You can also select modes by using the following
buttons:
h (Recirculate): Press this button to
recirculate cabin air through 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. An indicator
light below the button will come on in this mode.
Operation in this mode during periods of high
humidity and cool outside temperatures may result
in increased window fogging. If window fogging
is experienced, select the defrost mode.
# (Air Conditioning): Press this button to turn
the air conditioning system on or off. When
this button is pressed, an indicator light below the
button will come on to let you know the air
conditioning is activated. Air conditioning can be
selected in any mode as long as the fan knob
is not in the off position.
On hot days during the vehicle’s initial start-up,
open the windows to let hot inside air escape; then
close them. This helps to reduce the time it
takes for the vehicle to cool down. It also helps
the system to operate more efficiently.
For quicker cool down on hot days, do the
following:
1. Select the vent air mode.
2. Select the recirculation mode.
3. Select the air conditioner.
4. Select the coolest temperature.
5. Select the highest fan speed.
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.
