FACE positionÐThis position directs the
air flow to face level.
BI-LEVELÐThis position directs the air
flow to face level and floor. Except in ven-
tilation, the air to the floor is slightly warm-
er than that to the face level.
FLOOR positionÐThis position directs
the air flow mostly to the floor.
FLOOR / WINDSHIELD position Ð This
position directs the air flow to the wind-
shield and front side windows as well as
the floor.
WINDSHIELD positionÐThis position di-
rects the air flow mostly to the windshield,
front side windows.
Do not use the WINDSHIELD position
during cooling operation in extremely hu-
mid weather. The difference between the
temperature of the outside air and that of
the windshield could cause the outer sur-
face of the windshield to fog up blocking
your vision.
(g) Operating tips
Be sure the air inlet grilles in front of the
windshield are not blocked by leaves
or other obstructions.If air flow control is not satisfactory,
check the side vents. (See Side
ventsº after Heater controlsº.)
To help cool down the interior after
parking in the hot sun, drive for the first
few minutes with the windows open.
After the excess heat has blown away,
close the windows.
When driving on dusty roads, close all
windows. If dust thrown up by the ve-
hicle is still drawn into the vehicle after
closing the windows, it is recom-
mended that the air intake control le-
ver be set to the OUTSIDE AIR posi-
tion and the fan speed control lever
anywhere except the OFFº position.
If following another vehicle on a dusty
road, or driving in windy and dusty con-
ditions, it is recommened that the air
intake control lever be temporarily set
to the RECIRCULATED AIR position,
which will close off the outside pas-
sage and prevent outside air and dust
from entering the vehicle interior.ProCarManuals.com
