instrument panel registers. The air can not be
cooled below the outside temperature.

through the windshield defroster ducts and the
floor duct and the side window demisters. The
A/C compressor will operate automatically if the
outside temperature is above approximately 6°C
(43°F) . The air distributed through the floor
ducts will be slightly warmer than the air sent to
the windshield defrost ducts and the side window
demisters.

the windshield defroster ducts and the side
window demisters. The A/C compressor will
