MAX A/C (Maximum Air Conditioning): This mode recirculates much of the air inside your vehicle so

it cools quickly. It directs most of the air through the instrument panel vents and a small amount through the floor vents.

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.

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 (moisture) condensing on the cool window glass. This can be minimized if the climate control system is

used properly. There are two modes to clear fog or frost from your windshield and side windows. 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. For best results, clear all snow and ice from the windshield before defrosting.

-(Defog): Use this mode to direct half the air to the windshield and half to the floor outlet. Close the center outlets to help defrost the side windows more quickly. In this mode, the system will automatically force outside air into your vehicle and it will also run the air-conditioning compressor, unless it falls below the temperature at which air conditioning is effective.

1 (Defrost): This mode directs most of the air to the windshield and the side window vents, with only a little air directed to the floor vents. When you select this mode, the system runs the air-conditioning compressor unless the outside temperature is at or below freezing. Do not drive the vehicle until all the windows are clear.

Rear Window Defogger

The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to remove fog from the rear window.

<REAR: Press this button to turn the rear window defogger on or off. An indicator light in the button will come on to let your know that the rear window defogger is activated.

If your vehicle has heated outside rearview mirrors, when the rear defogger button is pressed the mirrors will warm to help clear any fog or frost from the surface of the mirrors.
