Air Conditioning
On very hot days, open the windows long enough to let
hot inside air escape. This reduces the time the
compressor has to run, which should help fuel economy.
For quick cool-down on very hot days, use
MAX
with
the temperature knob all the way in the blue area. If this
setting is used. for long periods of time, the air in your
vehicle may become too dry.
For normal cooling on hot days, use
VENT
with the
temperature knob
in
the blue area and the NC'button
pushed
in.
The system will bring in outside
air
and cool it.
On cool but sunny days, the sun may warm your upper
body, but your lower body may not be warm enough.
You can use BI-LEVEL with the,terhperature
knob
in
the middle and the
A/C
button pushed
in.
The system
will bring
in
outside air and direct it to your upper body,
while sending slightly warmed
air
to your lower body.
You may notice this temperature difference more at
.
'
some times than others.
J
Heating
On cold days use
FLOOR
with the temperature
knob
all
the way
in
the red area. The system will bring
in
outside
air, heat it and send it to the floor ducts.
If your vehicle has an engine coolant heatkr, you can use
it to help your system provide warm air faster when it's
cold outside
(0"
F
(-1
8
O
C)
or
lower).
An
engine coolant-
heater
warms
the coolant your engine and heating
system use to provide heat. See "Engine Coolant
Heater" in the Index.
Ventilation
For mild outside temperatures when little heating or
cooling is needed, use
VENT
to direct outside
air
through
your vehicle. Your vehicle also has the flow-through
ventilation system described later in this section.
Defogging and Defrosting Windows
Your system' has two settings for clearing the front
and
side windows.
To
defrost the windows'quickly, use
DEFROST with the temperature knob all the way in the
red area. To warrn passengers while keeping the
windows' clean, use
QEFOG.
