HB4033BB
NOTE A setting of about 77 °F (25 °C) throughout the year is recom-
mended. The temperature setting remains even after the ignition switch
is turned to the “OFF”. However, if the battery cables are discon-
nected, the temperature will be set to 77 °F (25 °C) automatically.
Set desired temperature by turning the temperature control dial; turn
the dial clockwise to raise the temperature setting and turn it counter-clockwise to lower it.
The temperature can be set in increments of 1 °F within a range of 65
– 85 °F for US models and in increments of 0.5 °C within a range of 18
– 32 °C for Canadian models.
Even when quick cooling or warming is necessary, you do not have to
change the temperature setting. The Automatic Climate Control sys-
tem operates at maximum performance until the air in the passenger
compartment reaches to the specified temperature.
