Manual Operation
The air delivery mode or fan speed can be manually adjusted.
(Fan Control): Press to increase or decrease the fan speed.
Pressing or while in automatic control places the fan speed under manual control.
The air delivery mode remains in automatic control. The fan setting still displays, but the word AUTO no longer displays, and the AUTO button indicator light turns off.
(Air Delivery Mode Control): Press to change the direction of the airflow in the vehicle.
Repeatedly press or until the desired mode appears on the display. Pressing a mode button while the system is off changes the air delivery mode without turning the system on. Press a mode button while in automatic control to place the system into manual control.
The air delivery mode setting still displays, but the word AUTO no longer displays, and the AUTO button indicator light turns off.
(Vent): Air is directed to the instrument panel outlets.
(Bi-Level): Air is divided between the instrument panel and floor outlets. Some air is directed towards the windshield and side window outlets. Cooler air is directed to the upper outlets and warmer air to the floor outlets.
(Floor): Air is directed to the floor outlets, with some of the air directed to the windshield, side window, and second row floor outlets. In this mode, the system uses outside air.
(Defog): This mode clears the windows of fog or moisture. Air is directed to the windshield, floor outlets, and side window vents.
When this mode is selected, the system turns off recirculation and runs the air conditioning compressor unless the outside temperature is less than 4°C (40°F). Do not drive the vehicle until all the windows are clear.
(Defrost): Press to turn the defrost on or off. This mode quickly clears the windshield of fog or frost.
Air is directed to the windshield, side window, and floor vents.
In this mode, outside air is pulled inside the vehicle.
The air conditioning system runs automatically in this setting, unless the outside temperature is less than 4°C (40°F).
Do not drive the vehicle until all the windows are clear.
While in defrost mode, if the PASS button is pressed, the PASS button indicator flashes three times to show that the passenger climate control system cannot be activated.
If the passenger temperature buttons are adjusted while in defrost mode, the driver temperature indicator will change.
The passenger temperature will not be displayed.
When returning to bi-level, vent, or floor mode, the previous temperature settings displays in place of any change made while in defrost mode.
