Air Conditionina (CONI)
-.
qg (Bi-Level): Use on cool, but
sunny days. This setting brings in the
outside air, but directs it in two ways.
The cool air is directed to the upper
portion of your body through the
instrument panel outlets, but slightly
warmer air is directed through the
heater ducts and defroster vents. At
times this temperature difference may be
more apparent than others.
The air conditioner compressor operates
in all three air conditioning positions. It
also operates in (Defrost) when
the outside temperature is higher than
about
40°F (4.5"C).
Ventilation
Use when outside temperatures are
mild, and little heating or cooling is
needed. Turn the right control knob to
2 (Vent). Air flow is directed
through the instrument panel outlets. Set
the center control knob to the
temperature desired.
Heating
Turning the right control knob to
72 (Heater) and the center control
knob clockwise will send heated air
through the heater ducts, and some
through the defroster vents.
3 (Vent) and (Heater) are
economical positions because the air
conditioner compressor doesn't run in
these two settings. This reduces engine
load, resulting in improved fuel
economy. If either setting fails to keep
you comfortable, or causes your windows
to fog up, turn the right control knob to
one of the air conditioning positions, or
to
(j@ (Defrost).
If you have the optional engine block
heater and use it during cold weather,
0°F (-18°C) or lower, your heating
system will more quickly provide heat
because the engine coolant is already
warmed. See the
Index under Engine
Block Heater.
flow equally between the heater ducts
and the windshield defroster vents.
vg (Blend): This setting divides air
Defrosting
The (@ (Defrost) setting directs most
air through the defroster vents, and
some through the heater ducts.
