Air Conditioning
The air conditioner cools and dehumidifies the air inside
the vehicle. The air conditioning compressor runs only
when required by conditions.
The air conditioning is always enabled when
DEFOG
and
FRONT
are selected. In any other mode, you can
select or turn
off
the air conditioning as desired by
pressing A/C. The indicator light will glow while the air
conditioning is enabled.
For maximum cooling, turn the temperature knob
counterclockwise to the coldest setting.
Do
not select
RECIRC while the inside air
is
hotter than the outside
air.
In manual mode, selecting
A/C
and LOWER will
use the lower vents and cool the vehicle more quickly.
The direction of the cool air can be controlled by
adjusting, or turning
off,
the outlets in the dash. Aiming
them over your shoulder will benefit both front and rear
passengers. Back seat passengers can also direct airflow
using the air outlets at the rear of the center console.
On very hot days, open the windows long enough to let
the hot inside air out. This reduces the time the air
conditioner’s compressor will have to run, which should
help fuel economy.
Rear Window Defogger
@
REAR:
Press to warm the defogger grid on the rear
window. The indicator light will glow while the rear
window defogger is operating. The rear window defogger
will
turn
off
automatically after about
10
minutes of use.
If
you
turn
it on again, the defogger will operate for about
five minutes only. You can also
turn
off
the defogger by
turning
off
the ignition or pressing REAR again.
Do
not attach
a
temporary vehicle license across the
defogger grid on the rear window.
I
NOTICE:
Don’t use a razor blade or something else sharp
on the inside
of
the rear window.
If
you do, you
could cut or damage the warming grid, and the
repairs wouldn’t be covered by your warranty.
