Recirculation And Out Side Air Knob
Slide this knob over to one of the two settings to change the system between recirculation

mode and outside air mode. Recirculation can be used when outside conditions such as

smoke, odors, dust, or high humidity are present.
NOTE:

• Continuous use of the Recirculation mode may make the inside air stuffy and window

fogging may occur. Extended use of this mode is not recommended.

• The use of the Recirculation mode in cold or damp weather could cause windows to fog

on the inside, because of moisture buildup inside the vehicle. Select the outside air posi-

tion for maximum defogging.

• Recirculation can be used in all modes except for Defrost.

• The A/C can be deselected manually without disturbing the mode control selection.

Bi-Level Mode

Bi-Level Mode
Air comes from the instrument panel outlets and floor outlets. A slight amount of air is

directed through the defrost and side window demister outlets.
NOTE:
Bi-Level mode is designed under comfort conditions to provide cooler air out of the panel

outlets and warmer air from the floor outlets.

Floor Mode

Floor Mode
Air comes from the floor outlets. A slight amount of air is directed through the defrost and

side window demister outlets.

Mix Mode

Mix Mode
Air is directed through the floor, defrost, and side window demister outlets. This setting

works best in cold or snowy conditions that require extra heat to the windshield. This set-

ting is good for maintaining comfort while reducing moisture on the windshield.

Front Defrost Mode
Air comes from the windshield and side window demist outlets. When the defrost mode is

selected, the blower level will increase. Use Defrost mode with maximum temperature set-

tings for best windshield and side window defrosting and defogging.

Front Power Outlet

50 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The power outlet is located on the central tunnel,

between the two cup holders. It only operates with the

ignition key at MAR/ON.

WARNING!

To avoid serious injury or death:
Only devices designed for use in this type of

outlet should be inserted into any 12 Volt outlet.

Do not touch with wet hands.

Close the lid when not in use and while driving

the vehicle.

(Continued)

WARNING! (Continued)

If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an

electric shock and failure.

CAUTION!

Many accessories that can be plugged in draw

power from the vehicle’s battery, even when not
in use (i.e., cellular phones, etc.). Eventually, if
plugged in long enough, the vehicle’s battery will
discharge sufficiently to degrade battery life
and/or prevent the engine from starting.

Accessories that draw higher power (i.e., coolers,

vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.) will degrade the
battery even more quickly. Only use these inter-
mittently and with greater caution.

After the use of high power draw accessories, or

long periods of the vehicle not being started (with
accessories still plugged in), the vehicle must be
driven a sufficient length of time to allow the
generator to recharge the vehicle’s battery.

Do not exceed the maximum power of 180 Watts

(15 Amps) at 12 Volts. If the 180 Watts (15 Amps)
