Controls and features The air conditioning operates in MAX A/C and when the A/C control is depressed. However, the air conditioning will only function if the outside temperature is about 4°C (40°F) or higher. Since the air conditioner removes considerable moisture from the air during operation, it is normal if clear water drips on the ground under the air conditioner drain while the system is working and even after you have stopped the vehicle. Under normal conditions, your vehicle's climate control system should be left in any position other than MAX A/C or OFF when the vehicle is parked. This allows the vehicle to "breathe" through the outside air inlet duct. • MAX A/C-Uses recirculated air to cool the vehicle. MAX A/C is noisier than A/C modes but more economical and will cool the inside of the vehicle faster. In this mode, the air conditioning will automatically engage if the outside temperature is about 4°C (40°F) or higher and the A/C A/C indicator will automatically light. Airflow will be from the instrument panel registers. This mode can also be used to prevent undesirable odors from entering the vehicle. (Panel)-Distributes outside air through the instrument panel • registers. Heating and air conditioning capabilities are provided in this mode. Push the A/C A/C control in order to cool the vehicle below the outside temperature. • OFF-Outside air is shut out and the fan will not operate. For short periods of time only, use this mode to reduce undesirable odors from entering the vehicle. • (Panel and floor)-Distributes outside air through the instrument panel registers and the front and rear floor ducts. Heating and air conditioning capabilities are provided in this mode. Push the A/C A/C control in order to cool the vehicle below the outside temperature. For added customer comfort, when the temperature control knob is anywhere in between the full hot and full cold positions, the air distributed through the front and rear floor ducts will be slightly warmer than the air sent to the instrument panel registers. • (Floor)-Allows for maximum heating by distributing outside air through the front and rear floor ducts. Heating and air conditioning capabilities are provided in this mode. Push the A/C (A/C) control in order to cool the vehicle below the outside temperature. • (Floor and defrost)-Distributes outside air through the windshield defroster ducts and the front and rear floor ducts.
