[ (Floor): Air is directed to the floor outlets, with some directed to the side window and defroster outlets. If low or no airflow is on the passenger side, make sure that the carpet covering is tucked under floor outlets. / (Floor/Defog): This mode clears the windows of fog or moisture. Air is directed to the windshield, side window, and floor outlets. In this mode, the system runs the air conditioning compressor unless the outside temperature is near freezing or below. The air conditioning does not work if the fan is turned off. If air conditioning is selected with fan off, the indicator light flashes three times and then turns off. There could be a slight change in engine performance when the air conditioning compressor turns off and turns on again. This is normal. The system is designed to make adjustments to help with fuel economy while still maintaining the selected temperature. Air conditioning does not operate at temperatures below 40°F (4°C). In temperatures above 40°F (4°C), the air conditioning cannot be turned off in defrost, floor/defog, and recirculation modes because it helps to remove moisture from the vehicle. It also helps to keep the windows clear. On hot days, open the windows to let the hot inside air escape; then close them. This helps reduce the time it takes for the vehicle to cool down. It also helps the system to operate more efficiently. For quick cool down on hot days, do the following: 1. Select 2. 0 (Defrost): This mode removes fog or frost from the windshield more quickly. Air is directed to the windshield and side window outlets. In this mode, the system runs the air conditioning compressor unless the outside temperature is near or below freezing. Do not drive the vehicle until all the windows are clear. To prevent fogging on the inside of the windows in modes other than floor/defog and defrost, make sure the air conditioning compressor is on and recirculation mode is off. (Air Conditioning): Press to turn the air conditioning system on or off. An indicator light comes on to show that the air conditioning is on. This setting cools and dehumidifies the air entering the vehicle. # H. Select ? . 3. Select the air conditioning to on. 4. Select the coolest temperature. 5. Select the highest fan speed. 3-17
