38 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
Mix Mode
Mix Mode is obtained by pressing both the
Defrost Mode button and the Floor Mode
button, activating them both. Air is directed
through the floor, defrost, and side window
demister outlets. This setting works best in cold or snowy
conditions that require extra heat to the windshield. This
setting is good for maintaining comfort while reducing
moisture on the windshield.
Hi-Level Mode
Hi-Level Mode is obtained by pushing the
Defrost Mode button and the Panel Mode
button. Air comes from the instrument panel
outlets and the defrost outlets. A slight amount
of air is directed through the side window demister outlets.
Tri-Level Mode
Tri-Level Mode is obtained by pressing the
Defrost Mode button, the Panel Mode button,
and the Floor Mode button. Air comes from the
instrument panel outlets, the defrost outlets,
and floor outlets. A slight amount of air is directed through
the side window demister outlets.

Manual Climate Controls
MAX A/C Setting
Set the temperature control knob to the
MAX A/C setting to change the current setting
to the coldest output of air. Moving the
temperature control knob away from the
MAX A/C setting causes the MAX A/C operation to exit.
A/C Button
Push the A/C button to engage the Air
Conditioning (A/C). The A/C indicator
illuminates when A/C is on.
NOTE:
For Manual Climate Controls, if the system is in Mix,
Floor or Defrost Mode, the A/C can be turned off, but
the A/C system shall remain active to prevent fogging
of the windows.
If fog or mist appears on the windshield or side glass,
select Defrost mode, and increase blower speed if
needed.
If your air conditioning performance seems lower than
expected, check the front of the A/C condenser
(located in front of the radiator), for an accumulation of
dirt or insects. Clean with a gentle water spray from the
front of the radiator and through the condenser.
Recirculation Button
Push the Recirculation button to change the
system between recirculation mode and
outside air mode. The Recirculation indicator
and the A/C indicator illuminate when the
Recirculation button is pressed. Recirculation can be used
when outside conditions, such as smoke, odors, dust, or
humidity are present. Recirculation can be used in all
modes except for Defrost. Recirculation may be
unavailable if conditions exist that could create fogging on
the inside of the windshield. The A/C can be deselected
manually without disturbing the mode control selection.
Continuous use of the Recirculation mode may make
the inside air stuffy and window fogging may occur.
Extended use of this mode is not recommended.
