Air Conditioning

On hot days, open the windows long enough to let hot
inside air escape. This reduces the time it takes for your
vehicle to cool down. Then keep your windows closed
for the air conditioner to work its best.
The climate control system will cool and dehumidify the
air inside the vehicle. While in the automatic operation
mode, the system will use recirculation as necessary to
cool the air. You may also need to adjust the interior
temperature. Turn either the TEMP/AUTO or
TEMP/OFF knob clockwise to increase the temperature
or counterclockwise to decrease temperature. Adjust the
fan speed as needed.
In order to obtain the maximum cool setting, both the
driver's TEMP/AUTO knob and the passenger's
TEMP/OFF knob must be turned to 60 _ F (16 _ C).
Heating
Adjust the interior temperature to your comfort level by
turning the TEMP/AUTO knob or the TEMP/OFF knob
clockwise to increase the temperature or
counterclockwise to decrease the temperature. If the fan
speed needs adjusting, press the up or down arrow.
3-6
Outside air will be brought in and sent through the floor
outlets. The heater works best if you keep the windows
closed while using it.
In order to obtain the maximum heat setting, both the
driver's TEMP/AUTO knob and the passenger's
TEMP/OFF knob must be turned to 90 _ F (32 _ C).
Defrosting
Use defrost to remove fog or ice from the windshield
quickly in extremely humid or cold conditions.
Pressing the defrost button on the control panel (located
above the rear window defogger button) automatically
turns the fan blower to high speed. Make sure that the
side air vents are opened. Turn both the TEMP/AUTO
knob and the TEMP/OFF knob clockwise as needed to
adjust the temperature. To warm the foot area while in
defrost, press the MODE button until the heater/defrost
symbol appears (see "Manual Operation" earlier in
this section).
Note: Recirculation is not available in the defrost mode.
