Air Conditioning
The upper lever has three air conditioner settings. On
very hot days, open the windows long enough to let hot
inside air escape. This reduces the amount of work your
air conditioner's compressor will have to do, which
should help fuel economy.
MAX: Provides maximum cooling with the least
amount of work. This setting recirculates much of the
air inside your vehicle

conditioner's performance and fuel economy.
NORM (Normal):
Use for normal cooling on hot days.
This setting cools outside air and directs it through the
instrument panel outlets.
BI-LEV (Bi-Level): Use this on cool, but sunny days.
This setting brings in the outside air, and directs it in
two ways. The cool air is directed to the upper portion
of your body through the instrument panel outlets, and
warmed air is directed through the heater ducts and
defroster vents. At times this temperature difference
may be more apparent than others.
The air conditioner compressor operates in all Air
Conditioning positions, and in Defrost when the outside
temperature is above about 40°F (4.5"C).
