Using these settings together for long periods of time can 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. Rear Window Defogger The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to remove fog or frost from the rear window. = (Rear Defogger): Press to turn the rear window defogger on or off. An indicator light comes on to show that the rear window defogger is on. Be sure to clear as much snow from the rear window as possible. The rear window defogger turns off about fifteen minutes after the knob is pressed. If turned on again, the defogger runs for about seven and one-half minutes before turning off. If vehicle speed is greater than 50 mph (80 kph) and the rear defogger is active, it remains on as long as the speed is greater than 50 mph (80 kph). The defogger can also be turned off by turning off the engine. Do not use the rear defogger when the convertible top is down. Notice: Do not use anything sharp on the inside of the rear window. If you do, you could cut or damage the warming grid, and the repairs would not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Do not attach a temporary vehicle license, tape, a decal or anything similar to the defogger grid. ? (Recirculation): Press to turn the recirculation mode on or off. An indicator light comes on to show that recirculation is on. This mode recirculates and helps to quickly cool the air inside the vehicle. It can be used to help prevent outside air and odors from entering the vehicle. Recirculation is available in the bi-level and vent modes. If recirculation is selected in either floor/heat, floor/defog, or defrost mode, the indicator light flashes three times indicating it is not available in that mode. 3-18
