STARTING AND STOPPING PROCEDURES
4 - 13
- "OFF" position (center) before stopping the
vehicle.
Note: Fuel economy is slightly reduced when
"A/C" position is used.
To operate air conditioning system when vehicle
is stationary, run engine at fast idle. During
operation of air conditioning system, windows
should be kept closed and door not left open
longer than necessary.
In order to prevent battery discharge, A/C &
heating system will not operate if battery
charging system is not working properly.
Caution: "A/C" position should not be used
when outside temperature is below 40
°
F (5
°
C).
While the A/C system is running, make sure the
vehicle is parked at least four (4) feet (1,2m)
from other vehicles and/or buildings to allow a
sufficient air flow through the condenser core.
2. "Temperature" control
Once the A/C clutch switch is set to the proper
position and fans are on, select the desired
temperature by turning the temperature control
knob clockwise to raise or counterclockwise to
lower temperature. Only a slight movement of
knob is generally sufficient to change
temperature setting.
Temperature control knob is used to select
interior temperature within the range of 65 to
78°F (18 to 26° C). Once temperature is
selected, system will automatically maintain it
within close limits.
At extreme clockwise position, full heat will be
maintained.
3. "Heat" indicator light
This indicator will be illuminated when hot water
is circulating through the water valve, no matter
which mode has been selected (A/C or heating).
4. "A/C" warning light
This light is designed to light up when the "A/C"
system is not working properly. If this happens,
first stop "A/C" system, then perform the
following checks:
- Check the condenser for obstruction. Clean if
necessary. (Refer to "Maintenance Manual").
- Check that the evaporator and condenser
motors are operating.
- Check evaporator filter for cleanliness. Clean
or replace as required. (Refer to "Care and
Maintenance" section, page 6-9).
- Check the air return duct(s) for obstruction.
Ducts are located on the left side or on both
sides of the vehicle floor, approximately in the
center. Clean if necessary.
After these checks, test the system. If the "A/C"
warning light does not turn off, set the "A/C -
heat" switch to "OFF" position, and seek
qualified service assistance.
5. "Fan" speed control
Turn knob clockwise at the first position to
obtain minimum air flow and to start "Driver's
system" to circulate warm, cool, or outside air,
according to settings of temperature control
knob (driver's), "A/C-heat" switch and "Recirc.-
fresh air" control. Turn clockwise again to obtain
the desired ventilation speed.
How to Use the Controls
To ventilate
Turn the "temperature" control knobs to the
maximum counterclockwise position (cool), then
set the "A/C - heat" switch to the "Heat" position.
To heat
To ensure maximum efficiency of heating
system, set the "A/C - heat" switch to the "heat"
position, switch the fan speed control to the
highest speed position, then adjust the
temperature control knobs to a comfortable
setting.
To defrost
To obtain the maximum defrosting efficiency,
switch the "fan" speed control to the highest
position, set the "hot water pump" switch to the
"ON" position, turn the "recirc.-fresh air" control
knob to the maximum clockwise position (fresh
air), turn the "feet air outlet" control knob to the
maximum counterclockwise position (defrost
position), then turn the "temperature" control to
the maximum clockwise position (warm).
