If the recirculated air request button is selected (indicator on), the air inlet door closes, preventing outside air from entering the passenger compartment. If the recirculated air request button is not selected (indicator off), the air inlet door opens, allowing only outside air into the passenger compartment. the air distribution doors operate in combination to direct airflow to the floor duct and the instrument panel registers. A small amount of airflow from the side window demisters and defrost duct is present. blended air temperature is available. Only when A/C compressor operation has been selected by pressing the A/C button (indicator on) can the airflow temperature be cooled below the outside air temperature. the blower motor is on and the speed is adjustable.

MAX DEFROST

When MAX DEFROST mode is selected:

The recirculated air request button is disabled. The air inlet door opens, allowing only outside air into the passenger compartment. The air distribution doors operate in combination to direct airflow to the defroster duct and side window demisters. A small amount of airflow from the floor duct is present. The A/C is turned on in defrost mode. The A/C compressor operates as long as the outside temperature is above approximately 32.0°F (°C). The temperature is set to the highest setting and is not adjustable. The fan is set to the highest speed and is not adjustable. MAX DEFROST can be exited by pressing the AUTO button.

MyTemp

The MyTemp feature can be used to store and recall a preset driver's temperature. This feature is provided so this temperature can be quickly adjusted to a frequently used setting with a single button press. For additional information about MyTemp, refer to the Owner's Literature.
