WARNING
OThe air conditioner cooling function
operates only when the engine is
running.
ODo not leave children, unreliable
adults, or pets alone in your vehicle.
On hot sunny days, temperatures in
a closed vehicle could quickly be-
come high enough to cause severe
or possibly fatal injuries to people or
animals.
ODo not use the recirculation mode
for long periods as it may cause theinterior air to become stale and the
windows to fog up.
OPositioning of the heater or air con-
ditioner controls should not be done
while driving so full attention may be
given to vehicle operation.

erates only when the engine is running.
HEATER OPERATION
Heating
This mode is used to direct most of the hot
air to the front and rear floor outlets. Rearpassenger heat is provided by the front
system through floor outlets located under
both front seats. A small amount of air also
flows from the defrost outlets.
1. Push the
button to the off position
for normal heating.
2. Turn the air control dial to the
posi-
tion.
3. Turn the fan control dial to the desired
position.
4. Turn the temperature control dial to the
desired position between the middle and
the hot position.
Ventilation
This mode directs outside air from the side
and center vents.
1. Push the
button to the off position.
2. Turn the air control dial to the
posi-
tion.
3. Turn the fan control dial to the desired
position.
4. Turn the temperature control dial to the
desired position.
Defrosting or defogging
This mode directs the air to the defrost
outlets to defrost/defog the windows.
1. Turn the air control dial to the
posi-
tion.
2. Turn the fan control dial to the desired
position.
3. Turn the temperature control dial to the
desired position.
When the
position is selected, the air
conditioner automatically turns on (however
the indicator light will not illuminate) if the
outside temperature is more than
45ÉF(7ÉC). This dehumidifies the air which
helps defog the windshield. The
mode automatically turns off, allow-
ing outside air to be drawn into the passen-
ger compartment to further improve the
defogging performance.
Bi-level heating
The bi-level mode directs warmed air to the
side and center vents and to the front and

(7ÉC). This dehumidifies the air which helps
defog the windshield. The
mode auto-
maticallly turns off, allowing outside air to bedrawn into the passenger compartment to
further improve the defogging performance.
Operating tips

passenger compartment to further improve
the defogging performance.
Operating tips
OKeep windows and sunroof closed while
the air conditioner is in operation.
OAfter parking in the sun, drive for two or
three minutes with the windows open tovent hot air from the passenger compart-
ment. Then, close the windows. This
allows the air conditioner to cool the
interior more quickly.
OThe air conditioning system should be
operated for approximately ten min-
utes at least once a month. This helps
prevent damage to the system due to
lack of lubrication.
OIf the engine coolant temperature
gauge indicates engine coolant tem-
perature over the normal range, turn
the air conditioner off. See ``If your
vehicle overheats'' in the ``In case of
emergency'' section of this manual.
AIR FLOW CHARTS
