Bi-Level

Air is directed through the panel and floor outlets.

NOTE:

For all settings, except full cold or full hot,

there is a difference in temperature between the upper
and lower outlets. The warmer air flows to the floor
outlets. This feature gives improved comfort during
sunny but cool conditions.

Floor

Air is directed through the floor outlets with a
small amount flowing through the defrost and

side window demist outlets.

Mix

Air is directed through the floor, defrost, and side
window demist outlets. This setting works best in

cold or snowy conditions that require extra heat to the
windshield. This setting is good for maintaining comfort
while reducing moisture on the windshield.

Defrost

Air is directed through the windshield and side
window demist outlets. Use this mode with maxi-

mum blower and temperature settings for best wind-
shield and side window defrosting.

NOTE:
• The air conditioning compressor operates in Mix,

Defrost, or a blend of these modes, even if the Air
Conditioning (A/C) button is not pressed. This dehu-
midifies the air to help dry the windshield. To improve
fuel economy, use these modes only when necessary.

• For information on operating the Rear Defrost, refer to

“Rear Window Features” in “Understanding The Fea-
tures Of Your Vehicle”.
