; (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. Defogging and Defrosting Fog on the inside of windows is a result of high humidity (moisture) condensing on the cool window glass. This can be minimized if the climate control system is used properly. There are two modes to clear fog or frost from the windshield and side windows. Use the defog mode to clear the windows of fog or moisture and warm the passengers. Use the defrost mode to remove fog or frost from the windshield more quickly. For best results, clear all snow and ice from the windshield before defrosting. When using the automatic mode setting, the system will automatically use the defog or defrost modes as needed. Manually turn the right knob to select the defog or defrost mode. @ (Recirculation): Press this button to turn on the recirculation mode. An indicator light in the button comes on to show that it is activated. The air inside the vehicle will be recirculated through the climate control system and the vehicle, not from outside the vehicle. This mode can be used to prevent outside air and odors from entering the vehicle or to help heat or cool the air inside the vehicle more quickly. Avoid using the recirculation mode during high periods of humidity and cool outside temperatures since this may result in increased window fogging. If window fogging is experienced, select the defrost mode. Recirculation mode is not available in floor, defog or defrost modes and will shut off automatically and change to outside air. If the button is selected in these modes, the indicator will flash. This helps prevent window fogging and moisture building up within the cabin. - (Defog): This mode directs air to the windshield, side window outlets and floor outlets. When this mode is selected, the system will turn recirculation mode off and run the air conditioning compressor unless the outside air is at or below freezing. Recirculation mode cannot be selected while in defog mode. This helps prevent window fogging and moisture building up within the cabin. 3-26
