With the automatic setting, the air conditioning
compressor automatically cycles when needed to cool
the
air.
In cold weather, when the system senses the need
for heat, the airflow will be directed out
the
floor
outlets.
As
the interior temperature approaches
a
desired
setting, the blower speed will decrease.
To
maintain
interior comfort, the aifflow may move to the instrument
panel air outlets and floor outlets (bi-level mode). On
bright sunny days in cold weather,
the
airflow may come
out
of the air conditioning outlets
(AC
mode) to
maintain comfort and prevent stuffiness.
If
your vehicle is sitting out on
a
hot day and you have it
set on
AUTO,
the air will first flow out
the
floor
air
outlets for a few seconds. That
is
normal. This is to
expel
hot
air from the air outlets.
As
the air is cooled,
the airflow will move through
the
air conditioning
outlets. If you start your vehicle with the
fan
setting on
HI,
it
will skip the air conditioning purge.
To avoid blowing cold
air
in cold weather,
the
system will
delay
turning
on the
fan
until
warm
air
is
available. The
length of delay depends on the outside
air
temperature,
engine coolant temperature
or
the time since
the
engine
was
last
started.
As
the coolant warms
up,
the blower
fan
speed will gradually increase and
air
will flow
from
the
heater outlets, with some airflow to
the
windshield
to
prevent fogging under most
normal
conditions.
If
you
leave your vehicle, the system will remember the
control setting the next time you
start
your engine,
except
for
recirculation and defrost. Each ignition cycle
cancels recirculation, whereas,
DEFROST
will change
to automatic operation when
the
ignition is shut
off
and
then turned
back
on.
You may manually adjust
the
air delivery mode
or
fan speed.
/.I
AC:
This setting directs airflow through
the
middle instrument panel outlets.
'/J
BI-LEVEL:
This setting directs
air
into your
vehicle in two ways. Cool air is directed to the upper
portion
of
your body through the four instrument panel
outlets while warmed
air
is
directed
to
the floor.
'fl
HEATER/DEFROSE
This setting directs
air
to
the floor outlets and toward the windshield.
1/J
HEATER:
This
setting directs warmed air
through the
floor
outlets.
Some
warm
air
is
diverted
to
the windshield to minimize fogging.
