instrument panel air vents, air conditioning
turns on and the blower motor adjusts to
the highest speed.

Switching Maximum Defrost On

and Off

Turn the temperature control
clockwise to the highest setting
for maximum defrosting.

The left-hand and right-hand settings set
to HI, air flows through the windshield air

odors from entering your vehicle.

Note:

Recirculated air may turn off, or

prevent you from switching on, in all air flow
modes except MAX A/C to reduce the risk
of fogging. Recirculation may also turn on
and off in various air distribution control
combinations during hot weather to improve
cooling efficiency.

VEHICLES WITH: AUTOMATIC

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

General Hints

Note:

Prolonged use of recirculated air may

cause the windows to fog up.

Note:

You may feel a small amount of air

from the footwell air vents regardless of the
air distribution setting.

Note:

To reduce humidity build-up inside

your vehicle, do not drive with the system
switched off or with recirculated air always
switched on.

Note:

Do not place objects under the front

seats as this may interfere with the airflow
to the rear seats.

Note:

Remove any snow, ice or leaves from

the air intake area at the base of the
windshield.

Note:

To improve the time to reach a

comfortable temperature in hot weather,
drive with the windows open until you feel
cold air through the air vents.

Automatic Climate Control
Note:

Adjusting the settings when your

vehicle interior is extremely hot or cold is
not necessary. Automatic mode is best
recommended to maintain set temperature.

Note:

The system adjusts to heat or cool

the interior to the temperature you select
as quickly as possible.

Note:

For the system to function efficiently,

the instrument panel and side air vents
should be fully open.

Note:

If you select

AUTO

during cold

outside temperatures, the system directs
air flow to the windshield and side window
air vents. In addition, the blower motor may
run at a slower speed until the engine warms
up.

Note:

If you select

AUTO

during hot

temperatures and the inside of the vehicle
is hot, the system uses recirculated air to
maximize interior cooling. Blower motor
speed may also reduce until the air cools.
