A/C (Air Conditioning): This setting will begin to cool and dehumidify the air inside of your vehicle. MAX A/C (Maximum Air Conditioning): Turn the right knob to MAX A/C for maximum cooling. This setting cools the air the fastest, by recirculating the inside air. -(Defog): With this setting, the outside air comes out of both the floor and defroster outlets. Adjust the temperature knob for warmer or cooler air. The air conditioning compressor may operate in this setting to dehumidify the air. 1(Defrost): This setting operates the defroster. Most of the air comes out near the windshield, with some going to the floor outlets and front side windows. The air conditioning compressor may operate in this setting to dehumidify the air. The defog setting is useful for cold weather with a large number of passengers or very humid conditions to help keep the windshield clear. Use defrost to remove fog or ice from the windshield quickly in extremely cold conditions. The temperature knob should be in the red area and the fan control toward high. Do not drive the vehicle until all the windows are clear. 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 is used properly. There are two modes to clear fog or frost from your 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. Turn the knob on the right of the climate control panel to select the defog or defrost mode. 3-19
