I Climate Control 
The air  conditioner  and heater  work 
)est  if you  keep  your  windows  closed 
vhile  using  them. Your  vehicle  also  has 
:he  flow-through  ventilation system 
iescribed  later  in this section. 
3FF: Press to  turn  the  blower  off.  Air 
vi11  still  come  from  the  outlets at  the 
loor. Press  any function button to  turn 
.he  system  on. 
remperature Control Lever: This lever 
:hanges  the temperature  of the  air 
:oming  through  the system.  The higher 
.he  lever  setting, the warmer  the air. 
8: Selects  the force  of air  you  want. 
Press 
LO to  lower  the fan speed, HI to 
raise  it. 
Air Conditioning 
On very  hot days,  open the windows 
long  enough  to let  hot  inside  air escape. 
This  reduces  the time  it takes  for  your 
vehicle  to cool  down,  which  should  help 
fuel  economy. 
There  are  three 
air conditioning  settings: 
MAX: Provides  maximum  cooling  or 
quick  cool-down  on very  hot days.  This 
setting  also  helps  prevent  outside odors 
from  entering  your  vehicle. 
This  setting  recirculates  much  of the  air 
inside  your  vehicle,  and it  should  not be 
used  for  long  periods  because  the air 
may  become  too cold  and dry.  This 
setting  is not  recommended  if an 
occupant  is  smoking. 
NORM: Use for  normal  cooling  on hot 
days.  This  setting brings  in  outside air,  cools 
it and  directs  it through  the 
instrument  panel outlets. 
BI-LEV  (Bi-Level): Use on cool,  but 
sunny  days.  This  setting  brings  in 
outside  air,  but directs it in two  ways. 
The  cool  air  is directed  to  the upper 
portion  of your  body  through the 
instrument  panel outlets,  but most 
warmed  air is  directed  through the 
heater  ducts  and  a little  to  the  defrost 
and  side  window  vents. At  times  this 
temperature  difference may be  more 
apparent  than  others. 
Heating  and  Ventilation 
When  you  don’t need to cool  the 
outside air,  use these  next  settings.  You 
can  leave  the air as it  is or heat it. 
The  air conditioner  compressor  doesn’t 
run  in these  settings.  This  reduces  the 
engine  load, resulting  in improved  fuel 
economy  (gas  mileage). 
VENT: For  mild  outside temperatures, 
when  little  heating  or cooling  is  needed, 
push 
VENT. Air  flow  is  through the 
instrument  panel outlets.  Slide the 
temperature  control  lever  to a 
comfortable  level.
