NOTE:
•
Rotating the fan control dial, or pushing the MODE button, A/C switch, or
windshield defroster switch while in AUTO ON mode will cancel auto A/C.
•
With any defroster mode, the system turns on the A/C compressor and
selects the FRESH AIR mode. This helps defrost the windows more
efficiently by dehumidifying the air. The A/C compressor will always be on in
defroster mode, but the defroster (and floor) will deliver warm air when the
temperature dial is set to a warmer temperature and the engine warms up.
NOTE:
Automatic climate control will allow you to maintain a preset
cabin temperature.

the dashboard vents. If air is not desired from the
dashboard vents, they can be closed using the dials
or vent louvers.

dashboard vents.
• To defrost the side windows faster, point the
side dashboard vents toward the side windows.
• To warm the passengers’ upper bodies
faster, point the side and/or center dashboard
vents toward the inside of the vehicle.
