148 [IP07710(ALL)06/94]3. Move the function selector lever to the MAX
A/C position.
[IP07720(ALL)06/94]
When the function selector lever is in the
MAX A/C position, cooled interior air is
recirculated through the system. This
position is more economical than continually
cooling outside air.

[IP09100(ALL)09/93]
If the inside of your vehicle is very warm,
drive for a few minutes with the windows
down. This forces most of the hot, stale air
out of the vehicle and helps the air
conditioning cool the vehicle faster.

[IP09300(ALL)07/93]
Cooling your vehicle with outside air
[IP09350(ALL)06/94]
Use any function selector lever position except
for MAX A/C to cool your vehicle with outside
air. Cooling your vehicle in this way brings in
outside air and is quieter but less economical
than using recirculated air.

The maximum difference in
temperatures will occur when the

is especially useful on cool yet sunny
days, when the vehicle is warmed by
the sun yet you desire warmer air at
your feet.
