on. Press the button again to turn off recirculate and to circulate outside air through the system. The indicator light will go off. Recirculate is automatically turned

off when the climate control system mode knob is turned to defog or defrost or is between modes.

Temperature Control: Turn the right knob clockwise or counterclockwise to increase or decrease the temperature inside your vehicle.

A/C (Air Conditioning): Press this button, located in the center of the instrument panel to the left of the audio system, 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 the air conditioning

is activated.

MAX A/C (Maximum Air Conditioning): Press the A/C and recirculation buttons at the same time to select MAX A/C.

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.
