Manual control of Recirculation is possible only in Panel, Floor, and Bi-Level modes. It will not operate in Mix, or Defrost modes. NOTE: The Recirc button light will blink if you try to use it in the Mix or Defrost modes. Air Direction Buttons (Mode) These buttons allow you to select from five air distribution patterns. These buttons should be used only when you can not achieve comfort or visibility in Auto operation. A symbol in the display window will show which mode is operating. Panel Air is directed through the outlets in the instrument panel. These outlets can be adjusted to direct air flow. This mode is not recommended when heat is required. Floor Air is directed through the floor outlets with a lesser amount through the Defrost and side window demist outlets. This mode is recommended when heat is desired. Mix Air is directed through the floor, defrost, and side window demist outlets. Use this setting in cold or snowy conditions that require extra heat at the windshield. This setting is good for maintaining comfort while reducing moisture on the windshield. The compressor is on in this mode. 4
