NOTE:
This defroster is not designed for melting
snow. If there is an accumulation of snow on
the rear window, remove it before using the
defroster.
Mirror Defroster (If Equipped)

5 – Air Recirculation Button
Press the Air Recirculation Button to select
between outside air and recirculated air posi
-
tions.
Recirculated Air Position
: (LED On) Outside
air is shut off when this position has been
activated. Use this position when going
through tunnels, driving in congested traffic
(high engine exhaust areas), or when quick
cooling of the vehicle is desired.
Outside Air Position
: (LED Off) Outside air is
allowed to enter the cabin. Use this mode for
ventilation or windshield defrosting.
NOTE:
Do not use the Recirculated Air Position in
cold or rainy weather. Using the Recirculated
Air Position in cold or rainy weather is
dangerous as it will cause the windows to fog
up. Your vision will be hampered, which
could lead to a serious accident.
6 – A/C Button
Push the A/C Button to turn on the air condi
-
tioner.
The LED on the switch will illuminate when
the Blower Control Knob is in any position
except the off position.
Push the button again to turn off the air
conditioner.
NOTE:
The air conditioner may not function when
the outside temperature approaches 32°F
(0°C).
Operation Of Automatic Air Conditioning
Proceed as follows:
1. Set the mode selector knob to the AUTO
position.
2. Set the Air Recirculation Button to the
outside air position (indicator light
turned off).
NOTE:
If the recirculated air position is used for
long periods in cold weather or high
humidity, the windshield may fog up more
easily.
3. Set the Blower Control Knob to the AUTO
position.
4. Push the A/C button to operate the air
conditioning (indicator light on).
5. Set the Temperature Control Knob to the
desired position.
6. To turn off the system, set the blower
control knob to the 0 position.
Setting the temperature to maximum hot or
cold will not provide the desired temperature
at a faster rate.
When selecting heat, the system will restrict
air flow until it has warmed to prevent cold
air from blowing out of the vents.
For an optimal cabin temperature, set the
temperature close to 77°F (25°C). Adjust to
the desired temperature if necessary.
