MAX A/C (Maximum Air Conditioning): This mode recirculates much of the air inside your vehicle so it cools quickly. It directs most of the air through the instrument panel outlets and a small amount through the floor outlets. For quick cool down on hot days, do the following: 1. Select A/C. 2. Select the coolest temperature. 3. Select the highest fan speed. You may notice a slight change in engine performance when the air-conditioning compressor shuts off and turns on again. This is normal. The system is designed to make adjustments to help with fuel economy while still maintaining the selected temperature. The air-conditioning system removes moisture from the air, so you may sometimes notice a small amount of water dripping underneath your vehicle while idling or after turning off the engine. This is normal. Defogging and Defrosting Fog on the inside of the windows is a result of high humidity (moisture) condensing on the cool window glass. This can be minimized if the climate control system is used properly. There are two modes to clear fog or frost from your windshield and side windows. Use the defog mode to clear the windows of fog or moisture and warm the passengers. Use the defrost mode to remove fog or frost from the windshield more quickly. For best results, clear all snow and ice from the windshield before defrosting. - (Defog): This mode can be used on cool, humid days to keep the windshield and side windows clear. 1 (Defrost): This mode directs most of the air to the windshield and the side window outlets, with only a little air directed to the floor outlets. When you select this mode, the system runs the air-conditioning compressor unless the outside temperature is at or below freezing. Do not drive the vehicle until all the windows are clear. 3-20
