NOTE:
In many temperature positions, the BI-
LEVEL mode is designed to provide cooler
air out of the panel outlets and warmer air
from the floor outlets.
Floor Mode
art=045600403.tif NO TRANS
Air comes from the floor outlets. A slight
amount of air is directed through the
defrost and side window demister out-
lets.
Mix Mode
art=045600404.tif NO TRANS
Air comes from the floor, defrost and
side window demist outlets. This mode
works best in cold or snowy conditions.
It allows you to stay comfortable while
keeping the windshield clear.
Defrost Mode
art=045600405.tif NO TRANS
Air comes from the windshield and side
window demist outlets. Use Defrost
mode with maximum temperature set-
tings for best windshield and side window
defrosting. When the defrost mode is selected,
the blower will automatically default to medium-
high unless the blower is controlled manually.
NOTE:
While operating in the other modes, the
system will not automatically sense the
presence of fog, mist or ice on the wind-
shield. Defrost mode must be manually se-
lected to clear the windshield and side
glass.
Air Conditioning (A/C)
The Air Conditioning (A/C) button allows the
operator to manually activate or deactivate the
air conditioning system. When in A/C mode and
the ATC is set to a cool temperature, dehumidi-
fied air flows through the air outlets. If Economy
mode is desired, press the A/C button to turn
off the A/C mode in the ATC display and
deactivate the A/C system.
NOTE:
• If the system is in Mix, Floor or Defrost
Mode, the A/C can be turned off, but the
A/C system shall remain active to prevent
fogging of the windows.
• If fog or mist appears on the windshield or
side glass, select Defrost mode and in-
crease blower speed.
Recirculation Control
art=045605309.tif NO TRANS
When outside air contains smoke,
odors, or high humidity, or if rapid
cooling is desired, you may wish to
recirculate interior air by pressing
the RECIRCULATION control but-
ton. Recirculation mode should
only be used temporarily. The recirculation LED
will illuminate when this button is selected.
Push the button a second time to turn off the
Recirculation mode LED and allow outside air
into the vehicle.
NOTE:
In cold weather, use of Recirculation mode
may lead to excessive window fogging. The
Recirculation mode is not allowed in the
Floor/Defrost Mix and Defrost modes to im-
prove window clearing operation. Recircula-
tion will be disabled automatically if these
modes are selected.
Operating Tips
Window Fogging
Windows will fog on the inside when the humid-
ity inside the vehicle is high. This often occurs
