NOTE: To improve fuel economy, leave in defrost only
when necessary.
• Defrost/Floor
Air flows through the front and rear floor outlets
and the outlets at the base of the windshield. Air is
also directed to the front door windows through the
side window demister grilles.
• Floor
Air flows through the floor outlets located under
the instrument panel and into the rear seating area
through vents under the front seats.
• Bi-Level
Air flows through the outlets located in the instru-
ment panel and through the outlets located on the
floor. Air flows through the registers in the back of the
center console to the rear seat passengers. These registers
can be closed to partially block airflow.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 281
• Panel
Air flows through the outlets located in the instru-
ment panel. Air flows through the registers in the
back of the center console to the rear seat passengers.
These registers can be closed to block airflow.
• Recirculation Control
The mode control knob also controls the recir-
culation feature. You can choose Bi-Level Re-
circulation air outlets, Panel Recirculation air
outlets, or a mix or both while in this mode.
Normally, air enters from outside the vehicle. However,
when in Recirculation mode air inside the vehicle is
re-used. Use this mode to cool the inside of the vehicle
rapidly. The Recirculation mode can also be used to
temporarily block out outside odors, smoke, and dust.
