@ (Recirculate): Press this button to toggle between recirculate and outside air modes. The indicator light turns on when recirculate mode is selected. This mode can be used to prevent outside air and odors from entering your vehicle or to help heat or cool the air inside your vehicle more quickly. Avoid using the recirculate mode on during high periods of humidity or 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 until a mode other than floor, defog, or defrost is selected. This helps prevent window fogging and moisture building up within the cabin. Press this button to turn the air conditioning system on or off. When this button is pressed, an indicator light above the button will come on to let you know the air conditioning is activated. Air conditioning can be selected in any mode as long as the fan is on in any speed position. On hot days, open the windows to let hot inside air escape; then close them. This helps to reduce the time it takes for your vehicle to cool down. It also helps the system to operate more efficiently. The air conditioning system removes moisture from the air, so you may sometimes notice a small amount of water dripping underneath your vehicle while idling or after turning off the engine. This is normal. Operation Tips • On hot days, activate the air conditioning system, select maximum fan speed and the coldest temperature setting. Open the windows long enough to let the hot inside air escape, then close them. This helps reduce the time it takes for your vehicle to cool down. It also helps the system to operate more efficiently. Adjust fan speed and temperature setting as required to achieve comfort. • The air conditioning system removes moisture from the air, so you may sometimes notice a small amount of water dripping underneath your vehicle while idling or after turning off the engine. This is normal. # (Air Conditioning): • Fog on the inside of windows is a result of high humidity (moisture) on the window glass. This can be minimized if the climate control system is used properly. 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 quickly. For best results, clear all snow and ice from the windshield before defrosting. 3-20
