"Off" (far left). (2) Push button mark.ed "Max
A /C". (3) Move Fan Switch to "High" (far right). (4) Adjust the four cooling outlet vanes to direct cooled air to desired area to

Normal Cooling (cooling with fresh air):
When the desired amount of cooling is obtained with "Max A/C ", you can continue cooling with fresh outside air for added
comfort by pushing the "A /C" bullon and adjusting the Fan Switch to change fan speed to suit occupants' requirements. If less cool­
ing is desired move the Fan Switch to "low "
speed and re-adjust the Cooling Oullets for indirect cooling. For warmer air move the Temperature Control lever to the right.
o Floor Air Controls: Cool air can be directed onto the feet of driver and passenger by mov­ing either of two controls mounted on air conditioning housing under the instrument panel. Controls are marked "Floor Air."
Cooling for Special Conditions: Your Air Conditioner is unique in providing maximum dehumidified air at the most comfortable
weather conditions above sooF. During rainy or muggy weather operate the system as
usual, using the Temperature Control lever to clear the windows and provide interior
comfort.
If the outside air is extremely humid or too
warm for cooling with fresh air as previously
described, push the "Max A/C " bullon. This is also recommended when driving through areas which are extremely dusty or have
objectionable odors. Incidentally, your Air Conditioner makes driving more enjoyable dunng the hay fever season by filtering pollen
out of the air.
NOTES: Operate your Air Conditioning
system as described in Normal Cooling (cool­ing with fresh air) 5 minutes each week during the cold winter months. This will
allow fluids to circulate and extend life of the
system. When driving through heavy traffic additional cooling may be required. If this
situation is encountered, operate the trans­mission in a lower gear range. When slopped
in congested traffic, especially if towing a trailer it may be necessary to depress the accelerator pedal slighlly for fast idle oper­
ation. Air Conditioned cars must be protected
with permanent type anti· freeze during
summer to 1-15°F. or lower to prevent the heater core from freezing. Coolant with anti­freeze concentrations less than 40% should
not be used for mOre than one season.

o Heater Operation
Make sure the air intake, located outside the car below the windshield is free of snow or
other obstructions and the Warm Weather
Ventilation knobs are pushed all the way in. Best heating is achieved. with the windows
closed.
When the engine temperature gauge on the
instrument panel reaches the first mark, move the Temperature Control lever to far right (Warm), push the "Heat" button and
move the Fan Switch to either "Medium" or
"High" speed. When the interior is warm,
re·adjust the Temperature Control lever and Fan Switch as required to suit occupants'
wishes. During heating, some air is directed
onto the windshield to prevent fogging.
Defrosting: Slide the Temperature Control
lever to far right (Warm) and push "Def" (Defrost) button. Then move Fan Switch to far right (High) to force warm air through
outlets at top edge of instrument panel.
<:) Warm Weather Ventilation: While driving, outside air can be brought into the Interior
through inlets in the side cowls. These inlets are opened by pulling the control knobs,
located on the lower edge of the instrument panel on both sides of the steering column.
The left·hand knob controls the left side of
the car and vice· versa. Amount of air intake
is regulated by the distance the knobs are pulled out. To shut out air, push knobs all the way in. NOTE: Be sure these knobs are
pushed in before operating Heater or Air
Conditioning System.
