# (Air Conditioning): Press this button on the left knob to turn the air conditioning system on or off. When A/C is pressed, an indicator light comes on to show that the air conditioning has been activated. The air conditioning compressor does not operate when outside temperatures fall below 40°F (4°C). The indicator light flashes three times and turns off when outside conditions affect air conditioning operation. This is normal. For quicker cool down on hot days, do the following: 1. Open the windows to let hot air escape. 2. Select the vent mode. 3. Select the air conditioner. 4. Select the coolest temperature. 5. Select the highest fan speed. 6. Close the windows after the hot air has escaped. 7. Once the vehicle's interior temperature is below the outside temperature, select recirculation mode for better cooling. This helps to reduce the time it takes for the vehicle to cool down. It also helps the system to operate more efficiently. Using recirculation for long periods of time may cause the air inside of the vehicle to become too dry. To prevent this from happening, after the inside of the vehicle has cooled, turn the recirculation mode off. The air conditioning system removes moisture from the air, so you might notice a small amount of water dripping underneath the front center and right rear of the vehicle while idling or after turning off the engine. This is normal. Defogging and Defrosting Fog on the inside of the windows is a result of high humidity (moisture) condensing on the cool window glass. This can be minimized if the climate control system is used properly. There are two modes to clear fog or frost from the windshield. Turn the right knob clockwise to select the defog or defrost mode. 196
