GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 41 NOTE: For Manual Climate Controls, if the system is in Mix, Floor or Defrost mode, the A/C can be turned off, but the A/C system could remain active to prevent fogging of the windows. If fog or mist appears on the windshield or side glass, select Defrost mode, and increase blower speed if needed. If your air conditioning performance seems lower than expected, check the front of the A/C condenser (located in front of the radiator), for an accumulation of dirt or insects. Clean with a gentle water spray from the front of the radiator and through the condenser. Recirculation Button Press and release this button to change the system between recirculation mode and outside air mode. The Recirculation indicator and the A/C indicator illuminate when the Recirculation button is pressed. Recirculation can be used when outside conditions such as smoke, odors, dust, or high humidity are present. Recirculation can be used in all modes except for Defrost. Recirculation may be unavailable if conditions exist that could create fogging on the inside of the windshield. The A/C can be deselected manually without disturbing the mode control selection. Continuous use of the Recirculation mode may make the inside air stuffy and window fogging may occur. Extended use of this mode is not recommended. Recirculation mode may automatically adjust to optimize customer experience for warming, cooling, dehumidification, etc. the Recirculation mode is not allowed in Defrost mode to improve window clearing operation. Recirculation is disabled automatically if this mode is selected. Attempting to use Recirculation while in this mode causes the LED in the control button to blink and then turns off. MAX Defrost Button Push the MAX Defrost button to change the current airflow setting to Defrost mode. The indicator illuminates when this feature is on. Max defrost set maximum temperature setting for best windshield and side window defrosting and defogging. If MAX Defrost mode is turned off, the Climate Control system will return to the previous setting. Air comes from the windshield and side window demist outlets. Rear Defrost Button — If Equipped Push and release the Rear Defrost Control button to turn on the rear window defroster and the heated outside mirrors (if equipped). The Rear Defrost indicator illuminates when the rear window defroster is on. The rear window defroster automatically turns off after 10 minutes the first time it is activated after the first key cycle. If the key cycle is engaged again, the rear window defroster will automatically turn off 5 minutes after it is activated. CAUTION! Failure to follow these cautions can cause damage to the heating elements: Use care when washing the inside of the rear window. Do not use abrasive window cleaners on the interior surface of the window. Use a soft cloth and a mild washing solution, wiping parallel to the heating elements. Labels can be peeled off after soaking with warm water. Do not use scrapers, sharp instruments, or abrasive window cleaners on the interior surface of the window.
