UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 229 Cool dehumidified air comes through the outlets selected by the Mode Control. To turn off the air conditioning, press the A/C button a second time. The indicator light will turn off. NOTE: • The compressor will not engage until the engine has been running for a few seconds. • If your air conditioning performance seems lower than expected, check the A/C air filter and the front of the A/C condenser for an accumulation of dirt or insects. The A/C condenser is located in front of the radiator. The A/C air filter is located under the instrument panel on the passenger side. • Fabric type fascia protectors tend to block the amount of air to the condenser and may reduce air conditioning performance. Economy Mode If economy mode is desired, press the A/C button to turn off the indicator light, and the A/C compressor. Move the temperature control lever to the desired temperature. Recirculation Control Press the recirculation button to recirculate the air inside the vehicle. This is located next to the A/C button. An indicator light on the button shows that air is being recirculated. Use the recirculation mode to rapidly cool the inside of the vehicle. The recirculation mode can also be used to temporarily block out outside odors, smoke, and dust. NOTE: • When the ignition switch is turned OFF, the recirculation feature will be cancelled. 4
