Ventilation System
For mild outside temperatures when little heating or
cooling is needed, use VENT to direct outside air
through your vehicle. Air will flow through the
instrument panel outlets.
Your vehicle’s ventilation system supplies outside air to
the inside of your vehicle when it is moving. With the
side windows closed, air will flow into the front air inlet
grilles, through the vehicle, and out the air
exhaust valves.
Outside air will also enter the vehicle when the heater or
the air conditioning fan is running, unless you have the
recirculation button pushed in. For more information on
the recirculation button, see “Air Conditioning” earlier
in this section.
Your vehicle has air
outlets in the center and
on the sides of your
instrument panel.
You can move the outlets from side
-
to
-
side or up and
down to direct the flow of air, or close the outlets
altogether. When you close an outlet, it will increase the
flow of air coming out of any outlets that are open.
These outlets do not completely shut off airflow when in
a closed vent position.
