You control the windshield
wipers by turning the band
with the wiper symbol
on it.
For a single wiping cycle, turn the band to MIST. Hold
it there until the wipers start, then let
go. The wipers will
stop after one wipe. If you want more wipes, hold the
band on MIST longer.
You can set the wiper speed for a long or short delay
between wipes. This can be very useful in light rain or
snow. Turn
the band to choose the delay time. The
closer to
LOW, the shorter the delay.
For steady wiping at low speed, turn the band away
from
you to the L,OW position. For high-speed wiping,
turn the band further, to HIGH.
To stop the wipers,
move the band to the
OFF position. Be sure
to clear
ice and snow from the wiper blades
before using
them. If they’re frozen to the windshield,
carefully loosen
or thaw them. If your blades do become
worn or damaged, get new blades or blade inserts.
Windshield Washer
At the top of the multifunction lever there’s a paddle
marked
with the windshield washer symbol and PUSH.
To spray washer fluid on the windshield, press the
paddle. The wipers will clear the window and then
either stop or return
to your preset speed.
In freezing weather, don’t use your washer until
the windshield
is warmed. Otherwise the washer
fluid can form ice on the windshield, blocking
your vision.

Air Conditioning
On 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. Then keep your windows closed
for the air conditioner
to work its best.
For quick cool-down
on very hot days, use MAX A/C
with the temperature knob turned counterclockwise.
This setting should be used
to keep odors and/or dust
from entering the vehicle. For normal cooling on
hot
days, use A/C with the temperature knob turned
counterclockwise.
On cool but sunny days, use BI-LEVEL
A/C to deliver
warm air to the floor and cooler air to the instrument
panel outlets.
When the air conditioner is
on, you may sometimes notice
slight changes
in your vehicle's engine speed and power.
This is normal because the system is designed to cycle the
compressor
on and off to keep the desired temperature.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Heating
The heater works best if you keep your windows closed
while using it. On cold days, use
HEATER with the
temperature knob turned clockwise.
BLEND is useful in
cool weather when
you have fog or ice on the
windshield or side windows.
If
you use the optional engine coolant heater before
starting your engine, your heating system will produce
warmer air faster to heat the passenger compartment in
cold weather. See “Engine Coolant Heater” in the Index.

Ventilation System
For mild outside temperatures when little heating or
cooling
is needed, use VENT to direct outside air
through your vehicle. Airflow is through the instrument
panel outlets.
Your vehicle’s ventilation system supplies outside air to
the inside
of your vehicle when it is moving. When the
vehicle is not moving, you can get outside air to
flow
through by selecting any mode and any fan speed. You
will find air outlets in the center and on the sides
of
your instrument panel.
You can move the outlets to direct the flow of air, or
close the outlets altogether. When you close an outlet, it
will increase the flow
of air coming out of any outlets
that are open.

Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow or
any
other obstruction (such as leaves). The heater
and defroster will work far better, reducing the
chance
of fogging the inside of your windows.
When
you enter a vehicle in cold weather, turn the
blower fan to
HI for a few moments before driving
off. This helps clear the intake ducts of snow and
moisture, and reduces the chance
of fogging the
inside of your windows.
Keep
the air path under the front seats clear of
objects. This helps air
to circulate throughout
your vehicle.
Defogging and Defrosting
On cool, humid days, use BLEND to keep the
windshield and side windows clear.
Use DEFROST to remove fog or ice from the
windshield quickly in extremely humid or cold
conditions. Turn the temperature knob clockwise and move
the fan control toward HI.
Rear Window Defogger (Option)
1
If your vehicle has this option, the rear window will
have lines that warm the glass. For best results, clear the
window of
as much snow or ice as possible before using
the rear window defogger.
To turn on the rear window defogger, find
the switch
marked REAR
DEFOG on your instrument panel below
the headlamp switch. Press ON
until the light in the
switch conles on, then release
it. It will only work if the
ignition switch
is turned to RUN.
