Temperature Control: Turn the center knob clockwise

or counterclockwise to increase or decrease the air

temperature inside your vehicle.

# A/C (Air Conditioning): Press this button to turn

the air-conditioning system on or off. When A/C is

pressed, an indicator light in the button will come on to

let you know that air conditioning is activated.

You may notice a slight change in engine performance

when the air-conditioning compressor shuts off and

turns on again. This is normal. The system is designed

to make adjustments to help with fuel economy while

still maintaining the selected temperature.

On hot days, open the windows to let hot inside air

escape; then close them. This helps to reduce the time

it takes for your vehicle to cool down. It also helps

the system to operate more efficiently.

The air-conditioning system removes moisture from the

air, so you may sometimes notice a small amount of

water dripping underneath your vehicle while idling

or after turning off the engine. This is normal.

Defogging and Defrosting

Fog on the inside of windows is a result of high humidity,

or moisture, condensing on the cool window glass. This

can be minimized if the climate controls system is used

properly. There are two modes to clear fog or frost from

your windshield. Use the defog mode to clear the

windows of fog or moisture and warm the passengers.

Use the defrost mode to remove fog or frost from the

windshield more quickly.

Turn the right knob to select the defog or defrost mode.

- (Defog): This mode directs air to the windshield

and the ﬂoor outlets. When you select this mode,

the system turns off recirculation and runs the

air-conditioning compressor unless the outside

temperature is at or below freezing. The recirculation

mode cannot be selected while in the defog mode.

0 (Defrost): Pressing this button directs most of the

air to the windshield and the side window outlets, with

some air directed to the ﬂoor outlets. In this mode, the

system will automatically turn off recirculation and run the

air-conditioning compressor, unless the outside

temperature is at or below freezing. Recirculation cannot

be selected while in the defrost mode.

Do not drive the vehicle until all the windows are clear.
