(Defog): See "Defogging and Defrosting" later in
this section.
@
(Recirculation): Press this button to turn the
recirculation mode on. When the button is pressed, an
indicator light comes on.
This mode keeps outside air from entering the vehicle. It
can be used to reduce outside air and prevent odors
from entering your vehicle. Recirculation also helps
to quickly cool the warmer air inside your vehicle.
The recirculation mode cannot be used with floor, defrost,
or defogging modes. If you try to select recirculation in
one of those modes, the indicator flashes three times and
turns off. The air conditioning compressor also comes on
when this mode is activated. While in recirculation mode
the windows may fog when the weather is cold and damp.
To clear the fog, select either the defog or defrost mode
and increase the fan speed.
Press the button again to turn off the recirculation mode.
It automatically turns off when the engine is turned off and
must be re-selected when the engine is turned on again.

Air Conditioning

(Air Conditioning): Press this button to turn the
air conditioning (A/C) compressor on and off. When
air conditioning is selected, an indicator light comes on
to show that the air conditioning has been activated.
The air conditioning compressor does not work
when outside temperatures fall below 40°F (4°C).
Pressing this button when the outside temperature is
too cool makes the air conditioning indicator flash three
times and turn off to let you know the air conditioning
mode is not available. If the air conditioning is on
and the outside temperature drops below a temperature
which is too cool for air conditioning to be effective,
the air conditioning light turns off to show that the
air conditioning mode has been canceled.
On hot days, open the windows long enough to let hot
inside air escape. This helps to reduce the time it
takes for the vehicle to cool down. It also helps the
system to operate more efficiently.
The air conditioning system removes moisture from the
air, so a small amount of water may drip underneath
your vehicle while idling or after turning off the engine.
This is normal.
