6 (Floor): This mode directs most of the air to the floor outlets with some air directed to the windshield. When this mode is selected, the system turns the recirculation mode off. Recirculation mode cannot be selected while in floor mode. This is to help prevent window fogging. The right knob can also be used to select defog or defrost mode. See "Defogging and Defrosting" later in this section. For quick cool down on hot days, select the following settings together: 1. Select vent mode. 2. Select outside air. 3. Turn the air conditioning on. 4. Select the coolest temperature and highest fan speed. 5. Once the vehicle's interior temperature is below the outside temperature, select recirculation mode for enhanced cooling. Using these settings together for long periods of time may cause the air inside of the vehicle to become too dry. To prevent this from happening, after the air inside of the vehicle has cooled, turn the recirculation mode off. The air conditioning system removes moisture from the air, so a small amount of water might drip underneath the vehicle while idling or after turning off the engine. This is normal. # (Air Conditioning): Press this button to turn the air conditioning system on or off. When this button is pressed, an indicator light comes on to show that the air conditioning is activated. The air conditioning can be selected in any mode as long as the fan is on and the outside temperature is above freezing. A flashing indicator light indicates that the air conditioning compressor is currently not available. On hot days, open the windows to let hot inside air escape; then close them. This helps to reduce the time it takes for the vehicle to cool down. It also helps the system to operate more efficiently. ; (Outside Air): Press this button to turn the outside air mode on. An indicator light in the button comes on to show that it is activated. Air from outside the vehicle will circulate throughout the vehicle. The outside air mode can be used with all modes, but it cannot be used with the recirculation mode. Pressing this button will cancel the recirculation mode. 3-20
