71 CAUTION:
Do not use the FRONT WINDSHIELD mode during cooled
air operation in extremely humid weather. The difference
between the temperature of the outside air and that of the
windshield could cause the outer surface of the
windshield to fog up and block your vision.
If quick heating or cooling is desired −
Obtain maximum power by turning the “Push AUTO
.TEMP”
knob fully. At this time, “MAX.HOT” or “MAX.COLD” will appear
on the display.
If manual fan speed control is desired −
The fan speed can be set to your desired speed by pushing
either side of the fan speed control
(FAN) button. The
higher the fan speed, the more air is delivered. Pushing the
(OFF) button turns off the fan.

mode indicator light will come on and the system will take fresh
outside air into the vehicle.
If quick circulation of cooled air is desired, push the air intake
control button for RECIRCULATED AIR. The
RECIRCULATED AIR mode indicator light will come on.
For normal use, it is best to keep the air intake control button
set to OUTSIDE AIR mode. If recirculated air is used during

(A/C) button.
The air conditioner on − off button is used to turn the air
conditioner on and off. Push the button to turn the air
conditioner on and push it again to turn the air conditioner off.
If the system is used for ventilation, heating in dry weather or
removing frost or exterior fog on the windshield, turn the air
conditioner off once it is no longer required. This will improve
fuel economy. The air conditioner can be used for year-round
automatic temperature control including cooling and
dehumidifying operation.
