NOTE: This setting works best in cold or snowy condi-
tions 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. For vehicles equipped
with a three-zone system, air is directed through the floor
outlet in the right quarter trim panel, unless the climate
control for the rear passengers is ON and in Panel mode.
NOTE: Use this mode with maximum blower and
temperature settings for best windshield and side win-
dow defrosting.
Recirculation Control
Use this button to block the flow of outside air
from coming into the passenger compartment.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 287
NOTE:
Only use the Recirculation mode as a temporary
means to block out any outside odors, smoke, or dust,
and to cool the interior rapidly upon initial start up in
very hot or humid weather.
Continuous use of the Recirculation mode may make
the inside air stuffy and window fogging may occur.
Extended use of this mode is not recommended.
The use of the Recirculation mode in cold or damp
weather will cause windows to fog on the inside,
because of moisture build-up inside the vehicle. Select
the outside air position for maximum defogging.
