Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine For quick cool-down on very hot days, use vent with the
temperature knob
all the way in the blue area and the
NC and recirculation buttons pressed. If this 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 and the A/C button
pushed
in. The system will bring in outside air and cool it.
Heating
On cold days, use FLOOR and the outside air button
with the temperature knob all the way in the red area.
The system will bring in outside air, heat it and send it to
the floor outlets.
Your vehicle has heat ducts that are directed toward
the rear seat. Keep the area under the front seats clear
of obstructions
so the heated air can reach the rear
seat passengers.
If your vehicle has an engine coolant heater, you can
use it to help your system provide warm air faster when
it’s cold outside (0°F (-18°C) or lower). An engine
coolant heater wms the coolant your engine and
heating system uses to provide heat. See “Engine
Coolant Heater” in the Index.
Defogging and Defrosting Windows
Your system has two settings for clearing the front and
side windows. For each setting, adjust the temperature
control as desired.
To defrost the front window quickly, rotate the
temperature control knob all the way in the red area.
Use defrost and adjust the fan to the highest speed.
To warm passengers while keeping the front window
clean, use defog.
Your vehicle is equipped with side window defogger
vents. The side window defogger vents are located on
the outside of the side instrument panel vents.
To defrost
the side windows, rotate the temperature control knob
all
the way in the red area. Use FLOOR and adjust the
fan to the highest speed.
To control fogging of the
windows, rotate the temperature control knob all the
way in the red area. Use DEFOG and adjust the fan to
the highest speed.
To defog the side windows while using air conditioning,
use BI-LEVEL and adjust the fan to the highest speed and press the
A/C button. For additional airflow to the
side windows, aim the side vents toward the windows
and close the center vents.
Recirculation will not work in defrost and defog. This is
done to prevent recirculation of humid inside air and
allow the system to work properly.
