(Bi-Level): This mode splits the air between the
instrument panel outlets and the floor outlets.

(Floor): This mode directs most of the air to the
floor outlets with some air directed to the windshield.
When this mode is selected, the system turns the
recirculation mode off. Recirculation mode cannot be
selected while in floor mode. This is to help prevent
window fogging.
The right knob can also be used to select defog or
defrost mode. See "Defogging and Defrosting" later in
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, use the automatic fan and air delivery
mode settings and the vehicle will reach the desired
temperature more quickly. The desired fan and air
delivery mode settings can still be adjusted manually.
Open the windows to let the hot inside air escape, then

close them. This helps reduce the time it takes for the
vehicle to cool down and 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
