When this mode is selected, the system turns the
recirculation mode off. Recirculation mode cannot be

this section.

(Air Conditioning): Press this button to turn the air
conditioning system on or off. When this button is
pressed, an indicator light comes on to show that the air
conditioning is activated. The air conditioning can be
selected in any mode as long as the fan is on and the
outside temperature is above freezing. A flashing
indicator light indicates that the air conditioning
compressor is currently not available.
On hot days, open the windows to let hot inside air
escape; then close them. This helps to reduce the time
it takes for the vehicle to cool down. It also helps the
system to operate more efficiently.
For quick cool down on hot days, select the following
settings together:
1. Select vent mode.
2. Select outside air.
3. Turn the air conditioning on.
4. Select the coolest temperature and highest fan
speed.

5. Once the vehicle's interior temperature is below the
outside temperature, select recirculation mode for
enhanced cooling.
Using these settings together for long periods of time
may cause the air inside of the vehicle to become
too dry. To prevent this from happening, after the air
inside of 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 underneath
the vehicle while idling or after turning off the engine.
This is normal.
;
(Outside Air): Press this button to turn the
outside air mode on. An indicator light in the button
comes on to show that it is activated. Air from outside
the vehicle will circulate throughout the vehicle. The
outside air mode can be used with all modes, but
it cannot be used with the recirculation mode. Pressing
this button will cancel the recirculation mode.
@
(Recirculation): Press this button to turn on the
recirculation mode. An indicator light in the button comes
on to show that it is activated. The air inside the
vehicle will be recirculated through the climate control
system and the vehicle, not from outside the vehicle.
This mode can be used to prevent outside air and odors
from entering the vehicle or to help heat or cool the
air inside the vehicle more quickly. Avoid using
