the
heater floor outlets and windshield defroster outlets.

BLEND:
Airflow
is
divided equally between the
heater floor outlet and the windshield defroster outlets.
DEFROST
This setting directs most air through
w.
the windshield defroster outlets and some through the
heater outlets.
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.
For quick cool-down
on
very
hot
days, use
MAX
A/C
with
the temperature knob turned counterclockwise.
This
setting should be used
to
keep odors and/or dust
from
entering the vehicle.
For
normal cooling on
hot days, use
A/C
with
the
temperature knob
turned counterclockwise.
On cool but sunny days, use BI-LEVEL
A/C
to
deliver
warm
air
to
the
floor and cooler air to
the
instrument
panel outlets.
When
the
air
conditioner is
on,
you
may sometimes
notice
slight changes
in
your vehicle‘s engine speed
and
power. This is normal because
the
system is designed
to cycle
the
compressor
on
and off to keep the
desired temperature.
Heating
The
heater works best
if
you
keep your windows closed
while using
it.
On cold days, use
HEATER
with
the
temperature knob turned clockwise. BLEND is useful
in
cool weather when you have fog or ice
on
the
windshield
or
side windows.
If
you
use the optional engine coolant heater before
starting your engine, your heating system will produce
warmer
air
faster to heat
the
passenger compartment
in
cold weather. See “Engine Coolant Heater”
in
the Index.
