A/C Button
Push the A/C button to engage the Air Condi-
tioning (A/C). The A/C indicator illuminates
when A/C is on.
Recirculation Button
Push the Recirculation button to change the
system between recirculation mode and out-
side air mode. The Recirculation indicator
and the A/C indicator illuminate when the
Recirculation button is pressed. Recirculation can be
used when outside conditions, such as smoke, odors,
dust, or humidity are present. Recirculation can be
used in all modes except for Defrost. Recirculation may
be unavailable if conditions exist that could create fog-
ging on the inside of the windshield. The A/C can be
deselected manually without disturbing the mode con-
trol selection. Continuous use of the Recirculation
mode may make the inside air stuffy and window fog-
ging may occur. Extended use of this mode is not
recommended.
On vehicles equipped with Manual Climate controls, the
Recirculation mode is not allowed in Defrost mode to
improve window clearing operation. Recirculation is
disabled automatically if this mode is selected. Attempt-
ing to use Recirculation while in this mode causes the
LED in the control button to blink and then turn off.
Front Defrost Setting
Turn the mode control knob to the Front
Defrost mode setting. Air comes from the
windshield and side window demist outlets.
When the defrost button is selected, the
blower level may increase. Use Defrost mode with maxi-
mum temperature settings for best windshield and side
window defrosting and defogging.
Rear Defrost Button
Push and release the Rear Defrost Control
button to turn on the rear window defroster
and the heated outside mirrors (if equipped).
The Rear Defrost indicator illuminates when
the rear window defroster is on. The rear window
defroster automatically turns off after 10 minutes.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these cautions can cause damage to
the heating elements:
•
Use care when washing the inside of the rear win-
dow. Do not use abrasive window cleaners on the
interior surface of the window. Use a soft cloth and
a mild washing solution, wiping parallel to the
heating elements. Labels can be peeled off after
soaking with warm water.
•
Do not use scrapers, sharp instruments, or abra-
sive window cleaners on the interior surface of the
window.
•
Keep all objects a safe distance from the window.
Temperature Control
Temperature Control regulates the temperature of the
air forced through the climate system.
The temperature increases as you turn the
temperature control knob clockwise.
The temperature decreases as you turn the
temperature control knob counterclockwise.
Blower Control
Blower Control regulates the amount of air
forced through the climate control system.
There are seven blower speeds available.
The blower speed increases as you turn the
blower control knob clockwise from the lowest blower
setting. The blower speed decreases as you turn the
blower control knob counterclockwise.
Mode Control
Turn the mode control knob to adjust airflow
distribution. The airflow distribution mode
can be adjusted so air comes from the
instrument panel outlets, floor outlets,
defrost outlets and demist outlets.
