Operation Manual

89Instruments and controls
Starting in cold weather: The automatic
climate control system selects the defroster
position, max. heating and low fan speed to
begin with.
As the engine temperature rises, the fan
speed is increased and air is routed towards
the floor.
As the temperature inside the car nears the
selected value, both the fan speed and the
heat will be decreased to a level determined
by the system.
Starting in hot weather: The automatic cli-
mate control system selects air to the panel
vents and high fan speed. Recirculation is
switched on about 30 seconds after starting
if the selected cabin temperature is mark-
edly lower than the actual temperature.
Unless the ECON button has been
depressed, the A/C compressor is always
switched on at outside temperatures above
32°F (0°C) in order to cool and dehumidify
the incoming air, unless the ECON button
has been depressed.
As the temperature inside the car nears the
selected value, the fan speed will be
decreased to a value determined by the
system.
Action to be taken in special types of
weather
Normally, misting and icing problems on the
windows do not occur other than in extreme
situations, e.g. when you are driving in
heavy rain or severe cold in combination
with high air humidity or when those travel-
ling in the car are sweaty and wet. If you
have trouble with misting or icing in such
cases we suggest the following counter-
measures:
1 Select and temperature 70°F
(21°C).
2 Select . If this is not enough ...
3 Increase the fan speed. If this is not
enough ...
4 Select a higher temperature.
Air to the rear side windows is supplied by
the floor ducts. To demist these windows
you should therefore select a defroster/floor
combination by pressing both buttons at the
same time.
