outside air temperature are low, the air
flow from the foot outlets may not operate
for a maximum of 150 seconds. This is not
a malfunction. After the coolant tempera-
ture warms up, air will flow normally from
the foot outlets.

panel helps maintain a constant tempera-
ture. Do not put anything on or around this
sensor.
