Climate Controls 8-3 1 (Defrost): This mode quickly clears the windshield of fog or frost. Air is directed to the windshield and side window outlets. When this mode is selected, the system automatically runs the air-conditioning. To defrost the windows faster, turn the temperature control to the warmest setting. Do not drive the vehicle until all the windows are clear. A/C (Air Conditioning): For vehicles with air conditioning, follow these steps to use the system. Turn 9 to the desired speed. The air conditioning does not operate when the fan control knob is in the off position. Press A/C to turn the air conditioning on and off. When A/C is pressed, an indicator light comes on to show that the air conditioning is on. For quick cool down on hot days, do the following: 1. Open the windows to let hot air escape. 2. Press ? (Recirculation): ?. This mode recirculates and helps to quickly cool the air inside the vehicle. It can be used to prevent outside air and odors from entering the vehicle. For vehicles with a recirculation button, press the button to turn the recirculation mode on. An indicator light comes on to show that the recirculation is on. Press the button again to return to outside air mode. For vehicles with a lever, move the lever to choose the recirculation mode. Using the recirculation mode for extended periods may cause the windows to fog. If this happens, select the defrost mode. 3. Press A/C. 4. Select the coolest temperature. 5. Select the highest 9 speed. 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 in 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 under the vehicle while idling or after turning off the engine. This is normal.
