• MAX A/C-Uses recirculated air to cool the vehicle. The temperature

will display 16°C (60°F). To exit, press AUTOMATIC or any other
override controls. MAX A/C is noisier than normal A/C but more
economical and will cool the inside of the vehicle faster. Airflow is
from the instrument panel registers. This mode can also be used to
prevent undesirable odors from entering the vehicle.

• VENT-Distributes outside air through the instrument panel registers.

However, the air cannot be cooled below the outside temperature
because the air conditioning does not operate in this mode.

• PNL•FLR-Distributes outside air through the instrument panel

registers and the floor ducts. Heating and air conditioning capabilities
are provided in this mode. The air will be heated or cooled based on
the temperature selection. For added customer comfort, the air
distributed through the floor ducts will be slightly warmer than the air
sent to the instrument panel registers.

• FLOOR-Allows for maximum heating by distributing outside air

through the floor ducts. However, the air cannot be cooled below the
outside temperature because the air conditioning does not operate in
this mode.

• FLR•DEF-Distributes outside air through the windshield defroster

ducts and the floor ducts. Heating and air conditioning capabilities are
provided in this mode. The air will be heated or cooled based on the
temperature selection. For added customer comfort, the air
distributed through the floor ducts will be slightly warmer than the air
sent to the windshield defroster ducts. If the temperature is about 6°C
(43°F) or higher, the air conditioner will automatically dehumidify the
air to reduce fogging.

• DEF

-Distributes outside air through the windshield defroster

ducts. It can be used to clear ice or fog from the windshield. If the
outside air temperature is about 6°C (43°F) or higher, the air
conditioner will automatically dehumidify the air to reduce fogging.

• OFF-Outside air is shut out and the fan will not operate. For short

periods of time only, use this mode to reduce undesirable odors from
entering the vehicle.
