Defogging Windows To defog the windshield, turn all three control knobs to the far right. rn Air Conditioning System (OPTION) Air Conditioning Your system has three air conditioner settings. Before using your air conditioner on very hot days, open the windows long enough to let hot inside air escape. This reduces the amount of work your air conditioner's compressor will have to do, which should help fuel economy. MAX: Use for maximum cooling. This setting recirculates much of the air inside your vehicle so it maximizes your air conditioner's performance and your vehicle's fuel economy. The air conditioner and heater work best if you keep your windows closed while using them. Your vehicle also has the flow-through ventilation system described later in this section. : The left knob sets the fan speed. To select the force of air you want, turn the knob. The fan is always running unless the mode control ismoved to OFF. Temperature Control: The center control regulates the temperatureof the air coming through the system. Mode Control: The right knob changes the functions of your system. 3f
