With the "Fresh" mode selected, air enters
the vehicle from the outside and is heated
or cooled according to the function se-
lected.
With the "Recirculation" mode selected,
air from within the passenger compart-
ment will be drawn through the heating
system and heated or cooled according to
the function selected.NOTE:It should be noted that prolonged opera-
tion of the heating in "Recirculation"
mode (
) may result in fogging of the
windshield and side windows and the air
within the passenger compartment will
become stale. In addition, prolonged use
of the air conditioning with the "Recircu-
lation" mode (
) selected may result
in the air within the passenger compart-
ment becoming excessively dry.

B730A01CM-AATOperation Tipso To keep dust or unpleasant fumes from
entering the car through the ventilation
system, temporarily set the air intake
control to (
).
Be sure to return the control to (
)
when the irritation has passed to keep
fresh air in the vehicle. This will help
keep the driver alert and comfortable.
o Air for the heating/cooling system is
drawn in through the grilles just ahead
of the windshield. Care should be taken
that these are not blocked by leaves,
snow, ice or other obstructions.
o To prevent interior fog on the wind-
shield, set the air intake control to the
fresh air (
) position, fan speed to the
desired position, turn on the air condi-
tioning system, and adjust temperature
control to desired temperature.
OCM051040A B710A01A-AAT
To operate the ventilation system:
o Set the air intake control switch to the
fresh air (
) position.
o To direct all intake air to the dashboard
vents, set the airflow control to the face
(
) position.
o Adjust the fan speed control to the de-
sired speed.
o Set the temperature control between
"Cool" and "Warm".
VENTILATION
o If the interior of the car is hot when you
first get in, open the windows for a few
minutes to expel the hot air.
o When you are using the air conditioning
system, keep all windows closed to
keep hot air out.
o When moving slowly, as in heavy traffic,
shift to a lower gear. This increases
engine speed, which in turn increases
the speed of the air conditioning com-
pressor.
o On steep grades, turn the air condition-
ing off to avoid the possibility of the
engine over-heating.
o During winter months or in periods when
the air conditioning is not used regu-
larly, run the air conditioning once ev-
ery month for a few minutes. This will
help circulate the lubricants and keep
your system in peak operating condi-
tion.
