WARNING:
o Keep the cruise control ON/OFF switch
off when not using the cruise control to
avoid inadvertently setting a speed.
o Use the cruise control system only when
traveling on open highways in good
weather.
o Do not use the cruise control when it
may not be safe to keep the car at a
constant speed, for instance, driving in
heavy or varying traffic, or on slippery
(rainy, icy or snow-covered) or winding
roads or over 6% up-hill or down-hill
roads.
o Pay particular attention to the driving
conditions whenever using the cruise
control system.
o During cruise-speed driving of a manual
transaxle vehicle, do not shift into neu-
tral without depressing the clutch pedal,
since the engine will be overrevved. If
this happens, depress the clutch pedal
or release the cruise control ON/OFF
switch.
o During normal cruise control operation,
when the "SET" switch is activated or
reactivated after applying the brakes,
the cruise control will energize after ap-
proximately 3 seconds. This delay is
normal.

direct the flow of air. Air can be directed to the
floor, dashboard outlets, or windshield. Five
symbols are used to represent Face, Bi-Level,
Floor, Floor-Defrost and Defrost air position.
The MAX A/C mode is used to cool the inside of
the vehicle faster. The "OFF" mode is used to
turn the blower fan off.
Face-Level
Selecting the "Face" mode will cause air to be
discharged through the face level vents.
Bi-Level
Air is discharged through the face vents and the
floor vents. This makes it possible to have
cooler air from the dashboard vents and warmer
air from the floor outlets at the same time.

Recirculation
With the " " mode selected, air enters the
vehicle from outside and is heated or cooled
according to the other functions selected.
With the " " mode selected, air from within
the passenger compartment is drawn through
the heating system and heated or cooled ac-
cording to the other functions selected.
NOTE:It should be noted that prolonged opera-
tion of the heating system in "
" mode
will give rise to fogging of the windshield
and side windows and the air within the
passenger compartment will become stale.
In addition prolonged use of the air condi-
tioning with the "
" mode selected may
result in the air within the passenger com-
partment becoming excessively dry.

controls. This makes it possible to have cooler
air from the dashboard vents and warmer air
from the floor outlets at the same time. To use
this feature:
o Set the air intake control switch to the fresh
air ( ) position.
o Set the air flow control at the bi-level ( )
position.
o Adjust the fan speed control to the desired
speed.
o Set the temperature control between "Cool"
and "Warm".
B700A01NF-A

speed.
o Set the temperature control between "Cool"
and "Warm".
B710A02NF-AB730A01L-AAT
Operation Tipso To keep dust or unpleasant fumes from
entering the car through the ventilation sys-
tem, temporarily set the air intake control at
the position. Be sure to return the control
to the position when the irritation has
passed to keep fresh air in the vehicle. This
will help keep the driver alert and comfort-
able.
o Air for the heating/cooling system is drawn
in through the grilles just ahead of the wind-
shield. Care should be taken that these are
not blocked by leaves, snow, ice or other
obstructions.
o To prevent interior fog on the windshield, set
the air intake control to the fresh air ( )
position and fan speed to the desired posi-
tion, turn on the air conditioning system, and
adjust temperature control to desired tem-
perature.

B740C01NF-A
B740D02Y-AATOperation Tipso 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 compressor.
o On steep grades, turn the air conditioning off
to avoid the possibility of the engine over-
heating.
o During winter months or in periods when the
air conditioning is not used regularly, run the
air conditioning once every month for a few
minutes. This will help circulate the lubri-
cants and keep your system in peak oper-
ating condition.
