Carbon Monoxide Hazard
Your car's exhaust contains carbon monoxide gas. You should have no
problem with carbon monoxide
entering the car in normal driving if
you maintain your car properly. Have the exhaust system inspected
for leaks whenever:
The car is raised for an oil change.
You notice a change in the soundof the exhaust.
The car was in an accident that may have damaged the underside.
Carbon monoxide gas is toxic.Breathing it can cause
unconsciousness and can even
kill you.
Avoid any enclosed areas or activities that expose you to
carbon monoxide. High levels of carbon monoxide can
collect rapidly in enclosed areas,
such as a garage. Do not run the
engine with the garage door closed.
Even with the door open, run the
engine only long enough to move thecar out of the garage.
With the tailgate open, air flow can pull exhaust gas into your car's
interior and create a hazardous
condition. If you must drive with the
tailgate open, open all the windowsand set the heating and cooling
system as follows. If you must sit in your parked car,
even in an unconfined area, with the
engine running, adjust the heating
and cooling system as follows: 1. Push the button.
2. Select the mode.
3. Turn the fan on high speed.
4. Set the temperature control to a
comfortable setting.

Heating and Cooling

This system has full heating, venti- lation, and air conditioning capabi-
lities. You can adjust the system
controls to mix these in various
combinations. The air flows into the
interior at three possible levels,
which you can select. CENTER VENT
SIDE VENT
The direction of air flow from the vents in the center and each side ofthe dashboard is adjustable. Move
the tab in the center of each vent up-and-down and side-to-side.
The side vents can be opened and closed with the dials next to them. The heating and cooling system
draws air through the exterior vents
at the bottom of the windshield.
Keep these vents clear of leaves and
other debris.

How to Use the System
This section covers the best way to use the system for ventilation,cooling, dehumidifying, defrosting
and heating. In most cases, the mode
and air source selections are only
recommendations. You may prefer different settings. Use mode to heat or cool the
interior more quickly, or to keep out
smoke and dust. Leaving the system
in the recirculation mode with the
A/C off can cause the windows to fog up. Switch to
mode as

soon as the interior reaches a
comfortable temperature or the
outside smoky, dusty condition

clears.
The engine must be running for the
heater and air conditioning to pro-
vide hot and cold air. The heater uses engine coolant to warm the air.If the engine is cold, it will be several
minutes before you feel warm air
circulating.
The air conditioning system does not depend on engine temperature. It
can produce cold air almost immedi-

ately.

Controlling Air Flow Direction
Air flows into the interior at three
levels: Toward the floor

through the dash vents and
toward the windshield and side
windows You select the air
flow level or combination of levels
with the five mode buttons.
Ventilation

Your car has a flow-through venti- lation system. Air enters the car
through vents in front of the wind-shield. It circulates through the
interior then exits through the rear side panels. This system provides
fresh air even when the car is standing still. To bring in outside air, press the button. Set the fan
at a comfortable speed.

switch.

3. Set the fan to maximum speed.
4. Open the windows partially. Select
and
When the interior reaches a com-
fortable temperature, close the

windows and set the system for

cooling as described above.
Air conditioning places an extra load
on the engine. Watch the engine
coolant temperature gauge (see page 40) when using the A/C in heavy
traffic or driving up long hills. If it
moves near the red zone, turn off the
air conditioning until the gauge reads normally.

To Defog and Defrost

To remove fog from the inside of the windows:
1. Switch the fan on.
2. Turn on the air conditioning. 3. Select and
4. Adjust the temperature control lever so the airflow from the
defroster vents feels warm.
5. Turn on the rear window defogger to help clear the rear window.
To remove exterior frost or ice from the windshield and side windowsafter the car has been sitting out in
cold weather:
1. Start the engine. 2. Select and
3. Switch the fan and temperature
controls to maximum. To rapidly remove exterior frost or
ice from the windshield (on very cold days), first select Once the
windshield is clear, select to
avoid fogging the windows.
These settings direct all the air flow to the defroster vents at the base ofthe windshield and the side windowdefroster vents. The air flow will get
warmer and clear the windows faster as the engine warms up. You can
close the side vents with the dial
beside each vent. This will send more warm air to the windshielddefroster vents.
For safety, make sure you have a
clear view through all the windows
before driving away.
To Turn Everything Off

To shut off the system temporarily, slide the fan speed and temperature
control levers all the way to the left.
You should shut the system com- pletely off only for the first few
minutes of driving in cold weather,until the engine coolant warms up
enough to operate the heater. Keep
the fan on at all other times so stale air does not build up in the interior.
