(Defrost): This mode clears the windshield of fog or
frost more quickly. Air is directed to the windshield
with some air going to the side window outlets. When
selected, the system turns off recirculation and runs the
air conditioning compressor, unless the outside
temperature is at or below freezing.
Do not drive the vehicle until all the windows are clear.
PASS (Passenger’s Climate Control): Press to
turn the passenger climate control system on or off.
Then press the passenger
«
or
ª
buttons to adjust
the temperature. Pressing PASS again automatically
sets the passengers temperature to the drivers setting.
Turning off the passenger temperature display does
not turn off the passenger climate control system.
Air Inlet Modes
There are three options for bringing air into the climate
control system. They are controlled by pressing the
outside air button on the climate control panel.
The climate control display indicates one of the
following three modes:
9
(Auto Air Inlet): This mode lets the automatic
climate control system choose the best air inlet position
for cooling or warming the vehicle. To have full
automatic climate control, the fan and mode controls
must be set to the AUTO position. On hot days,
the recirculation mode may be selected automatically.
?
(Recirculation): This mode recirculates and helps
to quickly cool the air inside the vehicle. It can be used to
prevent outside air and odors from entering the vehicle.
The recirculation mode cannot be used with floor, defog,
or defrosting modes. Using recirculation for long periods
of time can cause the air inside the vehicle to become
too dry or stuffy. To prevent this from happening, after the
air in the vehicle has cooled, select auto air inlet or
outside air.
F
(Outside Air): Air is pulled from outside the
vehicle. Outside air is always selected in defrost mode
to prevent fogging.
