Heating and Cooling

If the interior is very warm from
being parked in the sun, you can cool
it down more rapidly by setting up
the controls this way:

1. Start the engine.
2. Turn on the A/C by pressing the

button. Make sure the tempera-
ture control lever is all the way to
the left.

3. Set the fan to maximum speed.
4. Open the windows partially. Select

and Fresh Air mode.

When the interior has cooled down
to a more comfortable temperature,

close the windows and set the
controls as described for normal
cooling.

Air conditioning places an extra load

on the engine. Watch the engine
coolant temperature gauge (see page

59

) when driving in stop-and-go

traffic or climbing a long, steep hill.
If it moves near the red zone, turn

off the A / C until the gauge reads
normally.

To Heat

To warm the interior:

1. Start the engine.
2. Select and Fresh Air mode.
3. Set the fan to the desired speed.
4. Adjust the warmth of the air with

the temperature control lever.

To Heat and Dehumidify with Air
Conditioning

Air conditioning, as it cools, removes

moisture from the air. When used in
combination with the heater, it
makes the interior warm and dry.

1. Switch the fan on.

2. Turn on the air conditioning.
3. Select and Fresh Air mode.
4. Adjust the temperature control

lever so the mixture of heated and

cooled air feels comfortable.

This setting is suitable for all driving

conditions whenever the outside
temperature is above 32° F (0°C).
