With the A/C on, move the temperature knob to MAX
for maximum cooling. This setting also puts the system
in
the
recirculation mode and helps to maximize your air
conditioner’s performance and your vehicle’s fuel
economy. This setting also cools the air the fastest. After
the vehicle’s interior reaches a comfortable temperature,
move the temperature knob to the right to place the air
conditioning system
in
the normal mode.
Heating
The
heater works best
if
you keep your windows closed
while using it.
On
cold days, use the HEATER or
VENT/HEAT setting
with
tile temperature knob
in
the
red area.
If
you use
the
engine coolant heater before starting your
engine
in
cold weather,
20”
F (-8°C) or lower, your
heating system will produce wanner air faster, to heat
the passenger compartment
in
cold weather.
The use
of
an engine coolant heater
also
reduces the
time
it
takes for
the
engine to reach normal operating
temperature, and shortens the time
it
takes the heater to
reach
full
output. For more information, see “Engine
Coolant Heater”
in
the Index.
Ventilation
System
For
mild outside temperatures when little heating or
cooling is needed, use
VENT
to direct outside air
through your vehicle. Air will
tlow
through the
instrument panel outlets.
Your vehicle’s ventilation system supplies outside air to
the inside
of
your vehicle when
it
is
moving. With the
side windows closed, air
will
flow into the front air
inlet grilles, through the vehicle, and out the air
exhaust valves.
Outside air
will
also enter the vehicle when
the
heater or
the air conditioning fan is running, unless you have the
recirculation button pushed
in.
For more information on
the recirculation button, see “Air Conditioning” earlier
in
this section.
