selected. If the (A/C) control was previously selected before using
MAX A/C, the indicator light will remain lit. Airflow will be from the
instrument panel registers. This mode can also be used to prevent
undesirable odors from entering the vehicle.
²
(Panel)-Distributes outside air through the instrument panel
registers. Heating and air conditioning capabilities are provided in this
mode. Push the
A/C(A/C) control in order to cool the vehicle below
the outside temperature.
²OFF-Outside air is shut out and the fan will not operate. For short
periods of time only, use this mode to prevent undesirable odors from
entering the vehicle.
²
(Panel and floor)-Distributes outside air through the instrument
panel registers and the floor ducts. Heating and air conditioning
capabilities are provided in this mode. Push the
A/C(A/C) control in
order to cool the vehicle below the outside temperature. For added
customer comfort, when the temperature control knob is anywhere in
between the full hot and full cold positions, the air distributed through
the floor ducts will be slightly warmer than the air sent to the
instrument panel registers.
²
(Floor)-Allows for maximum heating by distributing outside air
through the floor ducts. Heating and air conditioning capabilities are
provided in this mode. Push the
A/C(A/C) control in order to cool the
vehicle below the outside temperature.
²
(Floor and defrost)-Distributes outside air through the
windshield defroster ducts and the floor ducts. Heating and air
conditioning capabilities are provided in this mode. In this mode, the
air conditioning will automatically engage if the outside temperature is
about 4ÉC (40ÉF) or higher. However, the indicator will not light
unless the
A/C(A/C) control is selected. If the A/C control was
previously selected before using Floor/Defrost, the indicator light will
remain lit. For added customer comfort, when the temperature control
knob is anywhere in between the full hot and full cold positions, the
air distributed through the floor ducts will be slightly warmer than the
air sent to the windshield defrost ducts.
²
(Defrost)-Distributes outside air through the windshield
defroster ducts. It can be used to clear ice or fog from the windshield.
If the temperature is about 4ÉC (40ÉF) or higher, the air conditioner
will automatically dehumidify the air to reduce fogging. However, the
indicator will not light unless the
A/C(A/C) control is selected.

Cooling your vehicle with outside air
Cooling your vehicle with air conditioned outside air is quieter but less
economical than using recirculated air. It also has less cooling capacity.
In order to cool your vehicle using outside air:
1. Turn the mode selector to
(panel),(panel and floor) or
(floor).
2. Press the
A/C(A/C) control. The indicator light next to theA/C(A/C)
control will illuminate.
3. Slide the temperature control knob to the left.
4. Turn the fan speed control to the position of your choice.
During periods of high humidity, vapor may be emitted from the air
outlets when using the A/C system with outside air. This can be
corrected by using MAX A/C to cool the vehicle.
Operating tips
²In humid weather, selectbefore driving. This will reduce fogging
on your windshield. After a few minutes, select any desired position.
²To prevent humidity buildup inside the vehicle, do not drive with the
climate control system in the OFF or MAX A/C position.
²Do not put objects under the front seat that will interfere with the
airflow to the back seats.
²Remove any snow, ice or leaves
from the air intake area (at the
bottom of the windshield under
the hood).
²If your vehicle has been parked with the windows closed during hot
weather, the air conditioner will do a much faster job of cooling if you
drive for two or three minutes with the windows open. This will force
most of the hot, stale air out of the vehicle. Then operate your air
conditioner as you would normally.
