3-3
BI - LEVEL: This setting directs air two ways. Half
of the air is directed through the instrument panel outlets.
Most of the remaining air is directed through the floor
ducts and a little to the defrost and side window vents.
LOWER: This setting sends most of the air
through the ducts near the floor. The rest comes out of
the defroster and side window vents. Please note that
when using this setting in the recirculation mode, the
windows may fog up. See “Recirculation” in the Index
for more information.
DEFOG: This setting allows half of the air to go to
the floor ducts and half to the defrost and side window
vents. The air conditioning compressor will run
automatically in this setting unless the outside temperature
is below 40
_F (4.5_C). (Even when the compressor is
running, you can control the temperature.)
DEFROST: This setting directs most of the
air through the defrost and side window vents. Some of
the air goes to the floor ducts. The air conditioning
compressor will run automatically in this setting unless
the outside temperature is below 40
_F (4.5_C).
(Even when the compressor is running, you can control
the temperature.)
Air Conditioning Compressor Button
Press the A/C button to operate the air conditioning
compressor. The indicator light on the button will flash
briefly and stay on solid to let you know your air
conditioning will come on. If the light on the A/C button
turns off after the flashing has stopped your air
conditioning will not come on. Your air conditioning
will not come on for two reasons:
D The outside temperature is below 40_F (4.5_C).
D the refrigerant pressure is too low or too high. If the
outside temperature is above 40
_F (4.5_C). See
“Air Conditioning Refrigerants” in the Index.
Recirc Button
: This button is used to recirculate much of the air
inside your vehicle. This setting is not available in
DEFOG or DEFROST. Also, note that operating the
system in the RECIRC may cause the windows to fog up
when the weather is cold and damp. To clear the fog, use
the DEFOG or DEFROST modes and increase the fan
speed. To avoid refogging of the windows, use the
OUTSIDE AIR mode.
Outside Air Button
: This button is used to bring in outside air.
