Climate Controls

8-9

The passenger temperature
control cannot be activated while in
defrost mode. If the PASS button is
pressed, the button indicator flashes
three times and will not work. If the
passenger temperature buttons are
adjusted, the driver temperature
indicator changes. The passenger
temperature will not be displayed.

If vent, bi-level, or floor mode is
selected again, the climate control
system displays the previous
temperature settings.

Do not drive the vehicle until all
windows are clear.

(Air Conditioning): Press

to turn the air conditioning (A/C)
compressor on and off. An indicator
light comes on to show that the air
conditioning is on.

If this button is pressed when
the air conditioning compressor
is unavailable due to outside
conditions, the indicator flashes
three times and then turns off.
If the air conditioning is on and the
outside temperature drops below a
temperature which is too cool for air
conditioning to be effective, the air
conditioning light turns off to show
that the air conditioning mode has
been canceled.

On hot days, open the windows long
enough to let hot inside air escape.
This helps to reduce the time it
takes for the vehicle to cool down.
It also helps the system to operate
more efficiently.

The air conditioning system
removes moisture from the air, so
a small amount of water might
drip under the vehicle while idling
or after turning off the engine.
This is normal.

@

(Recirculation): Press

to turn the recirculation mode on.
An indicator light comes on to show
that recirculation is on.

This mode recirculates and helps
to quickly cool the air inside the
vehicle. It can be used to help
prevent outside air and odors
from entering the vehicle.

The recirculation mode cannot
be used with floor, defog, or
defrost modes. If recirculation is
selected with one of those modes,
the indicator light flashes three
times and then turns off. The air
conditioning compressor also comes
on when this mode is activated.
While in recirculation mode, the
windows may fog when the weather
is cold and damp. To clear the fog,
select either the defog or defrost
mode and increase the fan speed.
