lets.: Air flows mainly from defroster outlets.
To turn the system offTurn the fan speed control dial to the OFF
position.OPERATING TIPSWhen the engine coolant temperature and out-
side air temperature are low, the air flow from the
foot outlets may not operate for a maximum of
150 seconds. However, this is not a malfunction.
After the coolant temperature warms up, the air
flow from the foot outlets will operate normally.
