and ventilation for your vehicle.

H

panel outlets.
)

the air to the instrument panel outlets, and then
directs the remaining air to the floor outlets. Cooler air is
directed to the upper outlets and warmer air to the
floor outlets.

(Floor): This mode directs most of the air to the
floor outlets and outboard outlets (for the side windows)
with some air directed to the windshield.
The right knob can also be used to select defrost mode.

later in this section.

counterclockwise to increase or decrease the fan speed.
In any setting other than off, the fan will run continuously
with the ignition on. The fan must be turned on to run
the air conditioning compressor.

counterclockwise to the off position.
h
(Recirculate): This mode keeps outside air from
coming in the vehicle. It can be used to prevent outside
air and odors from entering your vehicle or to help heat or
cool the air inside your vehicle more quickly. An indicator
light will come on in this mode. The air-conditioning
compressor also comes on. Operation in this mode
during periods of high humidity and cool outside
temperatures may result in increased window fogging. If
window fogging is experienced, select the defrost mode.
