Air Delivery Mode Control: Turn clockwise or
counterclockwise to change the direction of the airflow
in the vehicle.
To change the current mode, select one of the following:
H (Vent): Air is directed to the instrument panel
outlets.
) (Bi-Level): Air is divided between the instrument
panel outlets and the floor outlets. Slightly cooler air is
directed to the instrument panel outlets and warmer
air is directed to the floor outlets.
6 (Floor): Air is directed to the floor outlets, with
some air directed to the windshield and side window
outlets.
If recirculation is selected while in this mode, it stays on
for three minutes to reduce windshield fogging.

moisture. Air is directed to the windshield and side
window outlets and to the floor outlets. The system runs
the air conditioning compressor unless the outside
temperature is near or below freezing.

frost more quickly. Air is directed to the windshield
and side window outlets. The system runs the air
conditioning compressor unless the outside temperature
is near or below freezing.

system on or off. An indicator light below the button
comes on to show that this mode is on. Air conditioning
can be selected in any mode as long as the fan knob
is not in the off position.
On hot days during the vehicle’s initial start-up, open
the windows to let hot inside air escape; then close
them. This helps to reduce the time it takes for
the vehicle to cool down. It also helps the system to
operate more efficiently.

1. Select H .
