Heating and Cooling (cont'd)
Recirculation Lever
Sliding the lever from the position to the position
shuts off outside air and recirculates the air inside the car. If the
heater or air conditioner is on, and you want to warm up or cool
down the interior more quickly, or keep smoke or dust out of the car without losing the heat or cool function, simply slide the lever to the position.
NOTE:
The windows may become fogged if the system is in the po-
sition for an extended period of time with the air conditioner off. As soon as the interior is warmed, slide the lever to the posi-
tion.
How to Use the Controls
To Ventilate
Turn the temperature control dial counterclockwise, slide the recirculation lever to the position and the function lever to
the position. Switch the fan on and outside air will flow
through the corner and center vents. To change air distribution,
slide the function lever to the position, and outside air will
also flow from the floor level outlet at the heater.

Engine Exhaust Gas Warning
A properly maintained car is your best protection against exhaust
gas entering the passenger compartment.
The exhaust system should be thoroughly inspected by a compe-
tent mechanic whenever:
The car is raised for oil change.You notice a change in the sound of the exhaust. The exhaust system or the rear or underside of the car is
damaged.
Avoid breathing exhaust gases. They contain carbon monoxide,
which is a colorless, odorless gas that can cause loss of con-
sciousness and eventual death. If you suspect that exhaust gas is entering the passenger compartment, have the cause deter-mined and corrected as soon as possible. If you must driveunder these conditions, drive only with all windows fully open. Do not drive with the hatch/trunk lid open. An open hatch/trunk
may draw exhaust gases into the passenger compartment. If
you must drive with the hatch/trunk open, drive only with all the
windows wide open. Do not run the engine in confined areas, such as garages, any
longer than necessary to move the car in or out.
If you must sit in a parked car with the engine running for more
than a short time, adjust the heating/ventilation system as
follows:
1.Set the function lever to the position.
2.Set the temperature control dial for best comfort. 3.Set the recirculation lever to the position.
4.Turn the fan to the highest speed.
NOTE:
To insure proper operation of the car's ventilation system, keep the
front air inlet clear of snow, mud, leaves or other obstructions.ProCarManuals.comMain Menu s t
