MODE SELECTOR CONTROL
Controls the direction of the airflow
to the inside of the vehicle.
The A/C compressor will only
function if the outside temperature
is above approximately 2°C (35°F)
•
MAX A/C – Distributes recirculated air through the instrument panel
registers. Max A/C is noisier than A/C, but more economical and
efficient. This mode will reduce undesirable odors from entering the
vehicle. When placed in Max A/C, the A/C indicator will be illuminated
and cannot be manually disabled.
•
(Panel) – Distributes outside air through the instrument panel
registers. The system will allow some airflow through the floor ducts.
•
(Panel & Floor) — Distributes outside air through the
instrument panel registers and the floor ducts and side window
demisters. The air distributed through the floor ducts will be slightly
warmer than that sent to the instrument panel registers.
•
O (Off) – Outside air is shut out and the fan will not operate. This
mode will reduce undesirable odors from entering the vehicle but may
increase the possibility of interior window fogging.
•
(Floor) – Distributes outside air through the floor ducts and side
window demisters.
•
(Floor & Defrost) – Distributes outside air through the floor
ducts, windshield defroster ducts and the side window demisters.
However, the A/C indicator will not be lit. The air distributed through
the floor ducts will be slightly warmer than that sent to the windshield
defroster ducts and the side window demisters.
•
(Defrost) – Distributes outside air through the windshield
defroster ducts and the side window demisters. However, the A/C
indicator will not be lit. This mode will clear ice and fog from the
windshield.
Since the air conditioner removes moisture from the air, it is
considered normal operation if water drips on the ground under
the air conditioner drain.
