Instrument Panel The air conditioning system removes moisture from the air, so a small amount of water might drip under the vehicle while idling or after turning off the engine. This is normal. 3-19 ; (Outside Air): Press to turn the outside air mode on. An indicator light comes on to show that outside air is on. 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. @ (Recirculation): Press to turn on the recirculation mode. An indicator light comes on to show that recirculation is on. This mode recirculates and helps to quickly cool or heat the air inside the vehicle. It can be used to prevent outside air and odors from entering the vehicle. 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. The indicator will flash if the button is selected in any of these modes. This helps prevent window fogging and moisture building up inside the vehicle. Rear Window Defogger The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to remove fog from the rear window. The rear window defogger only works when the ignition is in ON/RUN. < (Rear Window Defogger): Press to turn the rear window defogger on or off. An indicator light on the button comes on to show that the rear window is activated. The rear window defogger stays on for approximately 10 minutes after the button is pressed, unless the ignition is turned to ACC/ ACCESSORY or LOCK/OFF. If turned on again, the defogger only runs for approximately five minutes before turning off again. At higher vehicle speeds, the defogger may stay on continuously. The defogger can also be turned off by turning off the engine.
