Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Vent Mode
When the vent button is depressed, outside air is brought into the vehicle and the A/C compressor clutch is turned off. The vent button will not effect the HVAC system when the front defrost mode is selected. If the vent button is pressed while system is in front defrost mode, the vent button will flash 3 times to remind the driver that vent mode is not available. When the HVAC system is off, pressing the vent switch will put the HVAC system in automatic mode.
