? (Recirculation): Press the left side of the button to turn the recirculation mode on. The air inside the vehicle is recirculated through the climate control system and throughout the vehicle, not from outside. This mode is helpful when you are trying to limit odors from entering your vehicle and for maximum air conditioning performance in hot weather. An indicator light above the button comes on to show that it is activated. If recirculation is selected while in defrost, defog, or floor, the light on the button flashes three times and goes out to let you know this is not allowed. Use this mode only when it is needed for comfort, since window fogging occurs if the air conditioning compressor is not engaged. Press this button to cancel the auto recirculation feature. Each time the vehicle is started, the system reverts to the auto recirculation function. When the weather is cool or damp, operating the system in recirculation for extended periods of time can cause fogging of the vehicle's windows. To clear the fog, select either defog or defrost. Make sure the air conditioning is on. # (Air Conditioning): Press this button to turn the air conditioning compressor on and off. A light above the button comes on while the air conditioning is on. When air conditioning is selected or in AUTO mode, the system runs the air conditioning automatically to cool and dehumidify the air entering the vehicle. On hot days, open the windows long enough to let hot inside air escape. This reduces the time it takes for the vehicle to cool down. Then keep the windows closed for the air conditioner to work its best. On cool, but sunny days while using manual operation of the automatic system, use bi-level to deliver warm air to the floor and cooler air to the instrument panel outlets. To warm or cool the air, press the temperature buttons to the desired setting. In AUTO mode the system cools and dehumidifies the air inside the vehicle. Also, the system maximizes its performance by using recirculation as necessary. Heating: On cold days when using manual operation of the automatic system, choose floor mode to deliver air to the floor outlets. To warm or cool the air delivered, push the temperature buttons to the desired setting. To use the automatic mode, turn the knob to AUTO and adjust the temperature by pressing the temperature buttons. Temperature Control: Press the up and down arrows to increase or decrease the temperature inside the vehicle. 3-25
