Improving fuel economy
[CF07100(ALL)01/96]
Whenever you turn on the air conditioning, your vehicle uses
more fuel because the air conditioning compressor is running.
To get better fuel economy while cooling your vehicle, do not
use the air conditioner on mild days. Instead, set the function
control knob toQ(PANEL) and turn the temperature control
knob to COOL.
*
[CF07200(ALL)01/96]
Operating tips
[CF07300(ALL)01/96]
To vary the temperature inside your vehicle, move the
Temperature Control Knob toward WARM (red) for warmer
temperatures and toward COOL (blue) for cooler temperatures.
The Temperature Control Knob setting determines the
temperature of the air being discharged from the system in all
operating modes (heating or A/C).
[CF07400(ALL)01/96]
When stopped in traffic for long periods of time in hot weather,
place the automatic transaxle gearshift selector lever in Park (P)
or in Neutral (N). This aids in engine cooling and air
conditioner efficiency. (If the engine overheats, turn the
Function Selector Knob toQ(PANEL) and turn the
Temperature Control Knob to WARM.)
*
[CF07500(ALL)01/96]
When your vehicle's engine is operated at full throttle, the air
conditioner compressor will automatically be turned off to allow
maximum engine power. This may occur during passing or
when climbing steep grades. The compressor will return to
normal operation within a few seconds after full throttle is no
longer needed.
