the air conditioner drain while the system is working and even after you

have stopped the vehicle.

Under normal conditions, your vehicle’s climate control system should be

left in any position other than MAX A/C or OFF when the vehicle is

parked. This allows the vehicle to “breathe” through the outside air inlet

duct.

• MAX A/C-Uses recirculated air to cool the vehicle. The temperature

will display 16°C (60°F). To exit, press AUTOMATIC or any other

override controls. MAX A/C is noisier than normal A/C but more

economical and will cool the inside of the vehicle faster. Airflow is

from the instrument panel registers. This mode can also be used to

prevent undesirable odors from entering the vehicle.

• VENT-Distributes outside air through the instrument panel registers.

However, the air cannot be cooled below the outside temperature

because the air conditioning does not operate in this mode.

• PNL•FLR-Distributes outside air through the instrument panel

registers and the floor ducts. Heating and air conditioning capabilities

are provided in this mode. The air will be heated or cooled based on

the temperature selection. For added customer comfort, the air

distributed through the floor ducts will be slightly warmer than the air

sent to the instrument panel registers.

• FLOOR-Allows for maximum heating by distributing outside air

through the floor ducts. However, the air cannot be cooled below the

outside temperature because the air conditioning does not operate this

mode.

• FLR•DEF-Distributes outside air through the windshield defroster

ducts and the floor ducts. Heating and air conditioning capabilities are

provided in this mode. The air will be heated or cooled based on the

temperature selection. For added customer comfort, the air

distributed through the floor ducts will be slightly warmer than the air

sent to the windshield defroster ducts. If the temperature is about

10°C (50°F) or higher, the air conditioner will automatically

dehumidify the air to prevent fogging.

• DEF

-Distributes outside air through the windshield defroster

ducts. It can be used to clear ice or fog from the windshield. If the

outside air temperature is about 10°C (50°F) or higher, the air

conditioner will automatically dehumidify the air to prevent fogging.
