PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION Outside Air Keep the air intakes in front of thewindshield free from obstruction (such assnow or leaves) to allow the climatecontrol system to function effectively. Recirculated Air WARNING Prolonged use of recirculated air maycause the windows to mist up. If thewindows mist up, follow the settingsfor demisting the windshield. The air currently in the passengercompartment recirculates. Outside air doesnot enter your vehicle. Heating Heating performance depends on thetemperature of the engine coolant. Air Conditioning Note:The air conditioning operates onlywhen the temperature is above 39°F (4°C). Note:When you use air conditioning, yourvehicle uses more fuel. The system directs air through theevaporator for cooling. The evaporatorextracts humidity from the air to help keepthe windows free of mist. The systemdirects the resulting condensation to theoutside of your vehicle, which may causea small pool to form under your vehicle.This is normal. General Information on Controllingthe Interior Climate Fully close all the windows. Warming the Interior Direct the air toward your feet. In cold orhumid weather conditions, direct some ofthe air toward the windshield and the doorwindows. Cooling the Interior Direct the air toward your face.
