Recirculation Button
Push and release this button to change the system between recirculation mode and outside air
mode. Recirculation can be used when outside conditions such as smoke, odors, dust, or high
humidity are present.
NOTE:
Continuous use of the Recirculation mode may make the inside air stuffy and window fog-
ging may occur. Extended use of this mode is not recommended.
The use of the Recirculation mode in cold or damp weather could cause windows to fog on
the inside, because of moisture buildup inside the vehicle. Select the outside air position for
maximum defogging.
Recirculation can be used in all modes except for Defrost.
The A/C can be deselected manually without disturbing the mode control selection.
Front Defrost Mode
Turn the knob to the Front Defrost position. The indicator illuminates when this feature is on.
Air comes from the windshield and side window demist outlets. When the defrost button is se-
lected, the blower level will increase. Use Defrost mode with maximum temperature settings for
best windshield and side window defrosting and defogging.
Rear Defrost Button
Push and release the Rear Defrost Control button to turn on the rear window defroster and the
heated outside mirrors (if equipped). An indicator will illuminate when the rear window de-
froster is on. The rear window defroster automatically turns off after 10 minutes.
