Air Conditioning Heating
Before using your vehicle’s air conditioning, open the
windows to clear the vehicle
of hot air. This reduces the
time it takes for your vehicle to cool down. Then keep
your windows closed for the air conditioner to work at
its best.
You can use MAX
AIC with the temperature knob in the
blue area when it’s really hot outside and you need to
cool
the inside air quickly. MAX A/C lets in only a little
air from the outside.
If you first
use MAX A/C, you can then use A/C with
the temperature knob in the blue area, as soon as the
vehicle has cooled down,
so outside air will be going
through your vehicle.
If your vehicle has rear air conditioning, setting it on
LO
may enhance front A/C performance by allowing
trapped refrigerant in rear lines to circulate.
When the air conditioning,
DEFROST or BLEND is on,
you may notice a slight increase
or decrease in engine
speed, due to compressor operation. This
is normal
because the system
is designed to cycle the compressor
on and off to keep the desired temperature.
On cold days, use HEATER with the temperature knob
in the red area. Outside air will be brought in through
the floor outlets. The heater works best if you keep your
windows closed while using it.
If you use the optional engine coolant heater before
starting your engine, your heating system will produce
warmer air faster
to heat the passenger compartment in
cold weather. See “Engine Coolant Heater” in the Index.
Ventilation Tips

Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow, or
any other obstruction (such
as leaves). The heater
and defroster will work
far better, reducing the
chance of fogging
the inside of your windows.
When you
enter a vehicle in cold weather, turn the
blower fan to
HI for a few moments before driving
off. This helps clear the intake ducts of snow and
moisture, and reduces the chance
of fogging the
inside
of your windows.
Keep the air path under the front seats clear of objects.
This helps air
to circulate throughout your vehicle.
Your vehicle has air vents in
the center and on the sides
of your instrument panel.
