Air Conditioning
Heating
On very hot days, your vehicle will cool down more
quickly and economically if you open the windows long
enough to let hot, inside air escape. For all settings,
adjust the temperature control knob and fan speed
as desired.
To get maximum cooling or a quick cool-down on very
hot days, press the
A/C and RECIRC buttons (the lights
will glow) and turn the temperature
knob to the left
(toward the blue area). Adjust the mode knob to direct
the air to the desired location. This setting should not be
used for long periods
of time because the air may
become too cold and dry. hsh the
NC button again (the
light will
go off) to turn off the air conditioning.
When the
air conditioner compressor is on, you may
sometimes notice slight changes in your vehicle’s engine
performance and power. This is normal. The system is
designed to help fuel economy while it maintains the
desired cooling level.
The
air conditioner removes moisture from the air, so
you may sometimes notice water dripping from under
your vehicle when it is idling or after it has been turned
off. This is normal.
Turn
the temperature knob to the right (toward the red
area) to warm the air.
In the
LOWER mode, outside air will be brought in and
sent through the floor outlets. The heater works best if
you keep your windows closed while using it.
The
BI-LEV setting is designed for use on sunny days
when the air is only moderately warm
or cool. On days
llke these, the sun may adequately warm your upper
body, but your lower body may not
be warm enough.
For the best results, turn the temperature control knob to
the middle position, and then adjust it for comfort.
If you have the optional engine coolant heater and use
it during cold weather, 0 “F (- 18 “C) or lower, your
heating system will provide heat more quickly because
the engine coolant is already warmed. See “Engine
Coolant Heater”
in the Index.
