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.

HEAT: When outside temperatures are
cold, push
HEAT. Slide the
temperature control lever to a
comfortable level. For maximum
heating, slide it all the way to the right.
This setting will send
most of the
heated air through the ducts near the
floor. The rest will come out of the
defroster vents and side window
defogger vents.
There are two settings for clearing your
windows. For each setting, adjust-the
temperature control as desired. The air
conditioner compressor will run in
these settings to remove,moisture
from-
the air when the temperature is above
freezing.
This setting allows half of
the air to flow to the floor
heater ducts, and half to go
8Qjfl
to the~windshield and side window
vents located in the windshield pillars.
Use this setting to warm passengers
while keeping the windshield clear. The
DEF setting directs 90% of the
air
through the defroster vents and the side
window vents, and
10% to the floor. To
rapidly defrost the windshield, slide
the temperature control .lever all the
way to WARM and press the DEF
button.
Adjust the fan to the highest speed.

Use the following controls when the
system is not set on
AUTO:
8: Press.the top of the switch to raise
the fan speed, the bottom of the switch
to lower the fan speed. The fan symbol
and bar graph will be displayed on the

When the
AUTO switch is pressed, the
fan symbol will go out and the fan will
return to automatic operation.
If the Fahrenheit (F") or Celsius (C")
symbol begins to flash, or flashes when
you turn on the ignition, it indicates an
electrical problem with your air
conditioning system. The flashing will
continue for about two minutes. It
means you should have your system
serviced.
Directional Controls
When the following buttons are pressed,
an indicator light will glow above the
button.
BI-LEV (Bi-Level): Use on cool, but
sunny days. This setting brings in the
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.
You may notice a delay of three or four
minutes before the blower comes on.
UPPER: Press to direct air flow
through the instrument panel outlets
only.
LOWER Press to direct 90% of the air
flow through the heater ducts, and
10%
of the air flow through the windshield
defroster vents.
DEFOG: Press to direct half the air to
the windshield, and the other half
through the heater ducts.
DEF (Defrost): Press to direct 90% of
the air to the windshield and side
window vents, and
10% to the floor.
The fan will automatically go to high.

Cooling System
When you decide it’s safe to lift the
hood, here’s what you’ll see:
(A) Coolant recovery tank
(€3) Radiator pressure cap
(C) Electric engine fans If
the coolant inside the coolant
recovery tank
is boiling, don’t do
anything else until it cools down.
The coolant level should be at or above
the
COLD mark. If it isn’t, you may
have a leak in the radiator hoses, heater
hoses, radiator, water pump
or
somewhere else in the cooling system.

NOTICE:
In cold weather, water can freeze
and crack the engine, radiator,
heater core and other-parts. Use the
recommended coolant.
