Air Conditioning
On hot days, open the windows long enough to let hot
inside air escape. This reduces the time it takes for your
vehicle to cool down. Then keep your windows closed
for the air conditioner to work its best.
By pressing the AUTO button the system will cool and
dehumidify the air inside the vehicle. Also while in this
mode, the system will maximize its performance by
using recirculation as necessary.
On cool, but sunny days use the bi - level mode to deliver
warmer air to the floor and cooler air to the instrument
panel outlets. To warm or cool the air delivered, turn the
temperature control to the desired setting.
Heating
Press AUTO and adjust the temperature by turning
the temperature knob clockwise or counterclockwise.
You may also adjust the automatic system manually
by pressing the MODE button and selecting floor.
Again, adjust the temperature by turning the
temperature knob clockwise or counterclockwise.
Outside air will be heated and sent through the floor
outlets. The heater works best if you keep the windows
closed while using it.
Defogging and Defrosting
On cool, humid days, use defog to keep the windshield
and side windows clear. Use the FRONT defrost button
to remove fog or ice from the windshield quickly in
extremely humid or cold conditions.
If you select FRONT defrost or defog from AUTO,
the system will control the fan speed. Adjust the
temperature and fan speed to your comfort level.
After the windshield is clear, adjust the temperature
to your normal setting and press the AUTO button to
return to AUTO mode and fan control.
For maximum front defrost performance under
extreme icing or frosting conditions, increase the
temperature setting to 90
_F (32_C) and increase
the fan speed to high.
