3-6 Air Conditioning
On hot days, open the windows long enough to let hot
inside air escape. This reduces the time it takes for your
vehicle to cool down. Then keep your windows closed
for the air conditioner to work its best.
If you have the standard system, for quick cool
-down on
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.
If you have the electronic system, press the A/C button
to turn the system on. The system will cool and
dehumidify the air inside the vehicle. Also while in
AUTO mode, the system will use RECIRC as necessary
to cool the air.On cool, but sunny days, with the standard system or
through manual operation of the electronic system,
use BI
-LEVEL to deliver warm air to the floor and
cooler air to the middle instrument panel outlets. To
warm or cool the air delivered, push the TEMP button
up or down.
When the air conditioning system is in AUTO mode, the
A/C light will always be on. When the ambient
temperature outside the vehicle reaches 40
F (4
C), the
compressor will remain on continuously.
Heating
If you have the standard system, on cold days use
HEATER with the temperature knob in the red area. If
you have the electronic system, press AUTO and adjust
the temperature by pressing the TEMP up or down
button. You may also adjust the electronic system
manually by pressing the MODE button and selecting
HEAT. Again, adjust the temperature by pressing the
TEMP up or down button.
With each system, outside air will be brought in and sent
through the floor outlets. The heater works best if you
keep your windows closed while using it.
