Cooling your vehicle with outside air
Cooling your vehicle with air conditioned outside air is quieter but less
economical than using air conditioned recirculated air. It also has less
cooling capacity and is not recommended for high outside temperatures.
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) selector. The indicator light on the A/C selector
will illuminate.
3. Turn the temperature control knob counterclockwise to COOL.
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.
Rear seat heating
Rear seat heating is provided through the floor ducts located under the
front seats. Airflow and temperature to the rear seating are regulated by
the main climate control system.
