Mode Control (Air Direction)
Push the mode control buttons to choose from several patterns of air distribution.
Panel

Air is directed through the outlets in the instrument panel. These outlets can be adjusted to direct airflow.
NOTE: The center instrument panel outlets can be aimed so that they are directed toward the rear seat passengers for maximum airflow to the rear.
Bi-Level

Air is directed through the panel and floor outlets.
NOTE: For all settings, except full cold or full hot, there is a difference in temperature between the upper and lower outlets. The warmer air flows to the floor outlets.
This feature gives improved comfort during sunny but cool conditions.
Floor

Air is directed through the floor outlets with a small amount flowing through the defrost and side window demist outlets.
Mix

Air is directed through the floor, defrost, and side window demist 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.
Defrost

Air is directed through the windshield and side window demist outlets. Use this mode with maximum blower and temperature settings for best windshield and side window defrosting.
NOTE:
• In Floor, Mix and Defrost modes a small amount of air
will flow through the outboard panel outlets for
occupant comfort.
• The air conditioning compressor operates in Mix, Defrost, or a blend of these modes, even if the Air Conditioning (A/C) button is not pressed. This dehumidifies the air to help dry the windshield. To improve fuel economy, use these modes only when necessary.
Recirculation Control

Pressing the Recirculation Control button will put the system in recirculation mode. This can be used when outside conditions such as smoke, odors, dust, or high humidity are present.
Activating recirculation will cause the LED in the control button to illuminate.
NOTE:
• 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.
• 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.
• The A/C will engage automatically to prevent fogging when the recirculation button is pressed and the mode control is set to panel or panel / floor.
• The A/C can be deselected manually without disturbing the mode control selection.
• When the ignition switch is turned to the LOCK position or the ignition switch START/STOP button is cycled to OFF, the recirculation feature will be cancelled.
