INSIDE MIRROR
The night position reduces glare from the
headlights of vehicles behind you at night.
WARNING
Use the night position only when nec-
essary, because it reduces rear view
clarity.
OUTSIDE MIRRORS
The outside mirrors operate only when the
ignition switch is in the ACC or ON position.
Move the switch to select the right or left
side mirror, then adjust using the control
lever.
WARNING
Objects viewed in the outside mirror on
the passenger side are closer than they
appear. Be careful when moving to the
right. Using only this mirror couldcause an accident. Use the inside mir-
ror or glance over your shoulder to
properly judge distances to other ob-
jects.

WARNING
cThe air conditioner cooling function
operates only when the engine is
running.
cDo not leave children, impaired
adults, or pets alone in your vehicle.
On hot, sunny days, temperatures in
a closed vehicle could quickly be-
come high enough to cause severe
or possibly fatal injuries to people or
animals.
cDo not use the recirculation mode
for long periods as it may cause the
interior air to become stale and the
windows to fog up.
cPositioning of the heater and air con-
ditioner controls should not be done
while driving, so full attention may
be given to vehicle operation.
The cabin air filter (if so equipped) requires
periodic maintenance. See the ``Do it your-
self'' section for additional information.

OFF position
The OFF position shuts off the air supply to
all outlets and stops all fan operations. Use
the OFF position to prevent cold air from
entering the passenger compartment under
cold outside conditions before the engine is
warmed up.
MAX A/C Position
Interior air is recirculated inside the vehicle.
Turn the air control dial to the MAX A/C
position when driving on a dusty road or
to help keep out traffic fumes.
Turn the air control dial to the MAX A/C
position for improved air conditioner perfor-
mance under high temperature and high hu-
midity conditions.
CAUTION
Do not use the recirculation mode for
long periods as it may cause the inte-
rior air to become stale and the win-
dows to fog up.
Temperature control dial
This dial allows you to adjust the tempera-
ture of the outlet air.
Air conditioning button
Start the engine, turn the fan control dial to
the desired (one to four) position, select an
air control position and push the air condi-
tioner button to turn on the air conditioner.
The indicator light comes on when the air
conditioner is operating. To stop the air con-
ditioner, push the button again; the indicator
light goes off.
The air conditioner cooling function op-
erates only when the engine is running.
HEATER OPERATION
Heating
This mode is used to direct most of the hot
air to the front and rear floor outlets. Rear
passenger heat is provided by the front
system through floor outlets located under
both front seats.
1. Move the air control dial to the
po-
sition.
2. Turn the fan control dial to select speed.
3. Move the temperature control dial to the
desired position.
Ventilation
This mode directs air to the side and center
vents.
1. Move the air control dial to the
po-
sition.
2. Turn the fan control dial to select speed.
3. Move the temperature control dial to the
desired position.
Defrosting or defogging
This mode is used to defrost/defog the
windows.
1. Move the air control dial to the
po-
sition.
2. Turn the fan control dial to select speed.
3. Move the temperature control dial to the
desired position.
When the
position is selected, the
air conditioner automatically turns on
(however, the indicator light will not illu-
minate) if the outside temperature is
more than 45ÉF (7ÉC). This dehumidifies
the air which helps defog the windshield.
The air recirculation mode automatically
turns off, allowing outside air to be drawn

into the passenger compartment which
helps defog the windshield.
Bi-level heating/cooling
The bi-level mode directs air to the side and
center vents and to the front and rear floor
outlets.
Bi-level is also a cooling mode when high
sun load conditions are present with cool
temperatures.
With the A/C system in operation, this mode
can be used to cool the passenger's or
driver's feet under high temperature condi-
tions.
With the A/C system in operation under high
temperature conditions, improved cooling
can be obtained by moving the air control
dial to the MAX A/C position.
1. Move the air control dial to the
po-
sition.
2. Turn the fan control dial to the desired
position.
3. Move the temperature control dial to the
desired position.
Heating and defogging
This mode heats the interior and defogs the
windshield. This mode directs air to the
defroster and the front and rear floor outlets.
Rear passenger heat is provided by the
front system through floor outlets located
under both front seats.
1. Move the air control dial to the
po-
sition.
2. Turn the fan control dial to the desired
position.
3. Move the temperature control dial to the
desired position.
When the
position is selected, the
air conditioner automatically turns on
(however, the indicator light will not illu-
minate) if the outside temperature is
more than 45ÉF (7ÉC). This dehumidifies
the air which helps defog the windshield.
The air recirculation mode automatically
turns off, allowing outside air to be drawn
into the passenger compartment which
helps defog the windshield.
Operating tips
cClear snow and ice from the wiper
blades and air inlet in front of thewindshield. This improves heater op-
eration.
cTo defog the side windows more effec-
tively when in bi-level or ventilation
mode, close the center vent and direct
the side vents toward the side windows.
cA slight delay may be experienced when
changing air control buttons. The system
is not malfunctioning. It is only the sys-
tem motors and solenoids switching from
one outlet to another.
AIR CONDITIONER OPERATION
Start the engine, move the fan control dial to
the desired (one to four) position, and select
an air control position before pushing in the
air conditioner button to activate the air
conditioner. When the air conditioner is on,
cooling and dehumidifying functions are
added to the heater operation.
WARNING

cFor quick cooling when the outside tem-
perature is high, move the air control dial
to the MAX A/C position. Be sure to
return the air control dial to the
po-
sition for normal cooling.
cOpening the windows helps to vent heat
buildup when parked in the sun.
Dehumidified heating
This mode is used to heat and dehumidify.
1. Move the air control dial to the
po-
sition.
2. Turn the fan control dial to select speed.
3. Push the air conditioner button. The indi-
cator light comes on.

speed.
3. Move the temperature control dial to the
desired position.
When the
position is selected, the
air conditioner automatically turns on

minate) if the outside temperature is
more than 45ÉF (7ÉC). This dehumidifies
the air which helps defog the windshield.The air recirculation mode automatically
turns off, allowing outside air to be drawn
into the passenger compartment which
helps defog the windshield.
Operating tips
cKeep windows and sun roof closed while
the air conditioner is in operation.
cAfter parking in the sun, drive for two or
three minutes with the windows open to
vent hot air from the passenger compart-
ment. Then, close the windows. This
allows the air conditioner to cool the
interior more quickly.
cThe air conditioning system should be
operated for about ten minutes at
least once a month. This helps pre-
vent damage to the system due to lack
of lubrication.
cIf the engine coolant temperature gauge
exceeds the H (hot) position, turn the air
conditioner off. See ``If your vehicle over-
heats'' in the ``In case of emergency''
section for additional information.
