Mode Control (Air Direction)
Rotate this control to
choose
patterns of air distribu-
tion. You can select ei-
ther a primary mode as
identified by the sym-
bols on the control, or a
blend of two of these
modes. The closer the
setting is to a particular
symbol, the more air distribution you receive
from that mode.
Panel
Air is directed through the outlets in the
instrument panel. These outlets can be
adjusted to direct airflow.
NOTE:
The center instrument panel outlets can be
aimed so that they are directed toward the
rear seat passengers for maximum airflow
to the rear.

floor outlets.
from several
NOTE:
For all settings, except full cold or full hot,
there is a difference in temperature between
the upper and lower outlets. The warmer air
flows to the floor outlets. This feature gives
improved comfort during sunny but cool
conditions.
Floor
Air is directed through the floor outlets
with a small amount flowing through
the defrost and side window demist
outlets.
Mix
Air is directed through the floor, de-
frost, and side window demist outlets.
This setting works best in cold or
snowy conditions that require extra heat to the
windshield. This setting is good for maintaining
comfort while reducing moisture on the
windshield.
Defrost
Air is directed through the windshield
and side window demist outlets. Use
this mode with maximum blower and
temperature settings for best windshield and
side window defrosting.
NOTE:
The air conditioning compressor operates in
Mix, Defrost, or a blend of these modes,
even if the Air Conditioning (A/C) button is
not pressed. This dehumidifies the air to
help dry the windshield. To improve fuel
economy, use these modes only when nec-
essary.
Recirculation Control
Pressing the Recirculation Control
will put the system into to recircu-
lation mode. This can be used
when outside conditions such as
smoke, odors, dust, or high humid-
ity are present. Activating recirculation will
cause the LED in the control button to
illuminate.
