When you turn the air
conditioning
off, this symbol will appear on the display.
When air conditioning is selected or in AUTO mode,
the system will run the air conditioning automatically
to
cool
and dehumidify the air entering the vehicle. If
you select A/C
off while in front defrost or defog, the
A/C
off symbol will flash
to
let you know this is not
allowed. This is
to
prevent fogging.
On hot days, open the windows long enough to let hot
inside air escape. This reduces the time it takes for
your vehicle
to
cool down. Then keep your windows
closed for the air conditioner to work its best.
On cool, but sunny days while using manual operation
of the automatic system, use bi-level
to
deliver warm
air
to
the floor and cooler air to the instrument
panel outlets. To warm or cool the air delivered, turn the
temperature knob
to
the desired setting.
In AUTO mode the system will cool and dehumidify the
air inside the vehicle. Also while in AUTO mode, the
system will maximize its performance by using
recirculation as necessary.
On cold days when using manual operation of the
automatic system, choose floor mode
to
deliver air
to
the floor outlets. To warm or cool the air delivered, turn
the temperature knob
to
the desired setting.
If you want to use the automatic mode, press AUTO and
adjust the temperature by turning the temperature knob.
The heater works best
if
you keep the windows closed
while using it.
