CAUTION
If the air conditioner is used while driving
up long hills or in heavy traffic, monitor the
high engine coolant temperature warning
indication/warning light to see if it is
illuminated or flashing (page 4-30).
The air conditioner may cause engine
overheating. If the warning light is
illuminated or flashing, turn the air
conditioner off (page 7-18).
NOTE
•When maximum cooling is desired, set
the temperature control dial to the
extreme cold position and set the air
intake selector to the recirculated air
position, then turn the fan control dial
fully clockwise.
•If warmer air is desired at floor level,
set the mode selector dial at the
position and adjust the temperature
control dial to maintain maximum
comfort.
•The air to the floor is warmer than air
to the face (except wh en the temperature
control dial is set at the extreme hot or
cold position).
▼ Ventilation
