Forced ventilation
The control settings are the same as for
natural ventilation except you set the
blower speed selector to a position oth-
er than “OFF”.
Normal heating (using outside air)
Select “HEAT” and “FRESH AIR”, the
temperature selector to the desired tem-
perature position and the blower speed
selector to the desired blower speed po-
sition. Setting the blower speed selector
to a higher blower speed position in-
creases heating efficiency.
Quick heating
(using recirculated air)
The control settings are the same as for
normal heating except you select “RE-
CIRCULATED AIR”. If you use this heat-
ing method for an extended period of
time, the air in the vehicle can become
contaminated and the windows can be-
come misty. Therefore, use this method
only for quick heating and change to the
normal heating method as soon as possi-
ble.Head cooled/Feet warmed heating
Select “BI-LEVEL” and “FRESH AIR”, the
temperature selector to the desired tem-
perature position, and the blower speed se-
lector to the desired blower speed posi-
tion. Unless the temperature selector is in
the fully COLD position or fully HOT po-
sition, the air that comes out of the cen-
ter and side outlets will be cooler than the
air that comes out of the floor outlets.
Defrosting/Feet warmed heating
Select “HEAT & DEFROST” and “FRESH
AIR”, the temperature selector to the de-
sired temperature position, and the blow-
er speed selector to HIGH. When the
windshield has become clear, set the
blower speed selector to the desired
blower speed position.
Defrosting
Select “DEFROST” and “FRESH AIR”, the
temperature selector to the desired tem-
perature position (higher temperature
provides more efficient defrosting), and
the blower speed selector to HIGH.
When the windshield has become clear,
set the blower speed selector to the de-
sired blower speed position. Recirculated Air (g)
When this mode is selected, the indicator
light will come on, outside air is shut out
and inside air is recirculated. This mode is
suitable when driving through dusty or
polluted air such as in a tunnel, or when
attempting to quickly cool down the in-
terior.
“FRESH AIR” and “RECIRCULATED AIR”
are switched alternately each time the air
intake selector is pushed.
NOTE If you select “RECIRCULATED
AIR” for an extended period of time, the
air in the vehicle can become contami-
nated. Therefore, you should occasional-
ly select “FRESH AIR”.
SYSTEM OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
Natural ventilation
Select “VENTILATION” and “FRESH
AIR”, the temperature selector to the de-
sired temperature position, and the blow-
er speed selector to “OFF”. Fresh air will
flow through the vehicle during driving.
