Climate Control
The air conditioner and heater work
best
if
you keep your windows closed
while using them. Your vehicle also has
the flow-through ventilation system
described later in this section.
OFF:
Press to turn the blower off.
Some air will still come from the outlets
at the floor. Press any function button
to turn the system
on.
Temperature
Control
Lever:
This
lever changes the temperature of the air
coming through the system. The higher
the lever setting, the warmer the air.
3f:
Selects the force of air you want.
Press
LO
to lower the fan speed,
HI
to
raise
it.
Air Conditioning
On very hot days, open the windows
long enough to let hot inside air escape.
This reduces the time it tales for your
vehicle to cool down, which should help
fuel economy.
There are three air conditioning
settings:
MAX:
Provides maximum cooling or
quick cool-down
on
very hot days. This
setting also helps prevent outside odors
from entering your vehicle.
This setting recirculates much of the air
inside your vehicle, and it should not be
used for long periods because the air
may become too cold and
dry.
This
setting is not recommended if an
occupant is smoking.
NORM:
Use for normal cooling on hot
days. This setting brings in outside air,
cools it and directs it through the
instrument panel outlets.
BI-LEV (Bi-Level):
Use
on
cool, but
sunny days. This setting brings in the
outside air, but directs it in two ways.
The cool air is directed to the upper
portion of your body through the
instrument panel outlets, but most
warmed air is directed through the
heater ducts and a little to the defrost
and side window vents. At times this
temperature difference may be more
apparent than others.
