DEFROST
This setting directs most
of
the air
through the defrost and side window vents. Some of the
air goes to the floor ducts. The air conditioning
compressor will run automatically in this setting unless
the outside temperature
is
below 40°F (4.5"C).
(Even when the compressor is running, you can control
the temperature.)
Air Conditioning Compressor Button
Press the A/C button to operate the air conditioning
compressor. The indicator light on the button will glow
when the button is pressed.
You
don't have to press the
button to run the compressor in DEFOG or DEFROST.
Recirculate Button
e
This button is used to recirculate much of the
air
inside your vehicle.
This
setting is not available in defrost.
Outside Air Button
This button is used to bring in outside air.
Air Conditioning
On very hot days, open the windows long enough to let
hot inside air escape. This reduces the load on the
compressor, which should help fuel economy.
For quick cool-down on very hot days, use
RECIRCULATE with the temperature knob all the way
in the blue area. If this and the
A/C
button pushed
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. With the A/C button
pushed in and outside air 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 temperature knob in
the middle with the A/C button pushed in and the
outside air 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.
