very hot days,
use MAX with the temperature knob in
the blue area. If this setting is used for long periods of
time, the air in your vehicle may become too cold and
dry. For normal cooling on hot days, use A/C with the
temperature
knob in. the blue area. This setting cools the
air entering your vehicle and directs it through the
instrument panel outlets.
