Air Conditioning
On very hot days, open the windows long enough to let
hot, inside air escape. This reduces
the
time the
compressor has to
run,
which should help fuel economy.
For quick cool-down on very hot days, use
MAX
with
the temperature control all
the
way
in
the blue area.
If
this setting is used for long periods
of
time, the air in
your vehicle may become too dry.
For normal cooling on hot days, use A/C with
the
temperature control
in
the blue area. The system will
bring in outside air and cool
it.
On cool but sunny days, the sun may warm your upper
body, but your lower body may
not
be warm enough.
You
can use
BI-LEVEL
with the temperature control in
the middle. The system will bring in outside air and
direct
it
to your upper body, while sending slightly
warmed air to your lower body.
You
may notice this
temperature difference more at some times than others.
Heating
On cold days use
FLOOR
with
the
temperature control
all
the
way
in
the red area. The system will bring
in
outside air, heat
it
and send
it
to the floor ducts.
cold outside
(0°F
(-18°C)
or lower).
An
engine coolant
heater warms the coolant your engine and heating
system use to provide heat. See “Engine Coolant
Heater”
in
the Index.
Ventilation System
Adjust
the
direction
of
airflow by moving the
louvered vents.
Your vehicle’s flow-through ventilation system supplies
outside air into the vehicle when
it
is
moving. Outside
air
will
also enter the vehicle
when
the air conditioning
fan is running.
If
your vehicle
has
an engine coolant heater, you can use
it
to
help
your system provide warm air faster when it’s
