lities. You can adjust the system
controls to mix these in various
combinations. The air flows into the
interior at three possible levels,
which you can select. CENTER VENT

the tab in the center of each vent up-and-down and side-to-side.

How to Use the System
This section covers the best way to use the system for ventilation,cooling, dehumidifying, defrosting
and heating. In most cases, the mode
and air source selections are only
recommendations. You may prefer different settings. Use mode to heat or cool the
interior more quickly, or to keep out
smoke and dust. Leaving the system
in the recirculation mode with the
A/C off can cause the windows to fog up. Switch to
mode as
soon as the interior reaches a
comfortable temperature or the
outside smoky, dusty condition
clears.
The engine must be running for the
heater and air conditioning to pro-
vide hot and cold air. The heater uses engine coolant to warm the air.If the engine is cold, it will be several
minutes before you feel warm air
circulating.
The air conditioning system does not depend on engine temperature. It
can produce cold air almost immedi-
ately.
Controlling Air Flow Direction
Air flows into the interior at three
levels: Toward the floor
through the dash vents and
toward the windshield and side
windows You select the air
flow level or combination of levels
with the five mode buttons.
Ventilation
Your car has a flow-through venti- lation system. Air enters the car
through vents in front of the wind-shield. It circulates through the
interior then exits through the rear side panels. This system provides
fresh air even when the car is standing still. To bring in outside air, press the button. Set the fan
at a comfortable speed.
