Use mode to heat or cool
the interior more quickly, or to
keep out smoke and dust.
Leaving the system in
recirculation mode with the air
conditioning off can cause the
windows to fog up. Switch to
mode as soon as the
interior reaches a comfortable
temperature or the outside
smoky, dusty condition clears.
The engine must be running for
the heater and air conditioning
system to provide hot and cold
air. The heater uses engine
coolant to warm the air. If the
engine is cold, it will be several
minutes before you feel warm air
circulating.
Air conditioning does not
depend on engine temperature. It
can produce cold air almost
immediately.
Controlling Air Flow Direction
Air flows into the interior at
three levels: Toward the floor
through the dash vents
and toward the windshield
and side windows
select the air flow level or
combination of levels with the
five mode buttons.
Ventilation
Your car has a flow-through
ventilation system. Air enters the
car through vents in front of the
windshield. It circulates through
the interior then exits through
vents near the rear window. This
system provides fresh air even
when the car is standing still. To
bring in outside air, press the
button. Set the fan at a
comfortable speed.
