1997 FORD PROBE light

54 [CF07200(ALL)04/96]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.
[CF07350(ALL)01/96]
MAX A/C
[CF07400(ALL)01/96]
When MAX A/C is selected, cooled interior air
is recirculated through the system. This position
is more efficient than NORM A/C.
*
[CF07500(ALL)01/96]
To cool your vehicle quickly in warm weather:
[CF07600(ALL)01/96]
1. Turn the function selector control to MAX
A/C.
[CF07700(ALL)01/96]
2. Turn the temperature control to the blue
(cool) area.
[CF07800(ALL)04/96]
3. Set the fan at the desired speed.
[CF08000(ALL)03/96]
Because MAX A/C uses recirculated air, MAX is
usually more efficient than NORM A/C. You
can switch to outside air NORM A/C at any
time, especially after the vehicle has cooled
down.
[CF08100(ALL)03/96]
You may notice a slight odor when using the
MAX A/C position. This is normal. If the odor
becomes annoying, switch the function selector
to NORM A/C.
[CF08200(ALL)01/96]
To provide the most quiet operation when using
MAX A/C, reduce the fan speed after a
comfortable temperature has been reached.
[CF08300(ALL)04/96]
NORM A/C
[CF08400(ALL)01/96]
When maximum air conditioning is not needed,
you can use the NORM A/C position to cool
your vehicle with outside air. Cooling your
vehicle this way brings in outside air and is
quieter, but it is less efficient.
