BI-LEVEL (d)
78RB05031
Temperature-controlled air comes out of the floor outlets and cooler air comes out of the center and side outlets. When the temperature selector (1) is in the fully cold position or fully hot position, however, the air from the floor outlets and the air from the center and side outlets will be the same temperature.
5-19
HEAT (e)
78RB05032
Temperature-controlled air comes out of the floor outlets and the side outlets, also comes out of the windshield defroster out­lets and also comes slightly out of the side defroster outlets.
HEAT & DEFROST (f)
78RB05033
Temperature-controlled air comes out of the floor outlets, the windshield defroster outlets, the side defroster outlets and the side outlets.

DEFROST (g)
78RB05034
Temperature-controlled air comes out of the windshield defroster outlets, the side defroster outlets and the side outlets.
OTHER CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
Air conditioning switch (5) To turn on the air conditioning system, set the blower speed selector to a position other than off and push in "NC" switch. With this "NC" switch operation, a indica­tor light will come on when the air condi­tioning system is working. To turn off the air conditioning system, push "NC" switch again.
During operation of the air conditioner, you may notice slight changes in engine speed. These changes are normal, the system is designed so that the compressor turns on or off to maintain the desired tem­perature.
Less operation of the compressor results in better fuel economy.
System operating instructions
Natural ventilation Select VENTILATION and FRESH AIR, the temperature selector to the desired tem­perature position, and the blower speed selector to off. Fresh air will flow through the vehicle during driving.
Forced ventilation The base settings are the same as for nat­ural ventilation except you set the blower speed selector to a position other than off.
Normal heating (using outside air) Select HEAT and FRESH AIR, the tem­perature selector to the desired tempera­ture position and the blower speed selector to the desired blower speed position. Set­ting the blower speed selector to a higher blower speed position increases heating
efficiency.
Quick heating (using recirculated air) The base settings are the same as for nor­mal heating except you select RECIRCU­LATED AIR. If you use this heating method for an extended period of time, the air in the vehicle can become contaminated and the windows can become misty. Therefore, use this method only for quick heating and change to the normal heating method as soon as possible.
5-20

OTHER CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
Head cooled/Feet warmed heating Select BI-LEVEL and FRESH AIR, the temperature selector to the desired tem­perature position, and the blower speed selector to the desired blower speed posi­tion. Unless the temperature selector is in the fully cold position or fully hot position, the air that comes out of the center and side outlets will be cooler than the air that comes out of the floor outlets.
Normal cooling Set the air flow selector to VENTILATION, the temperature selector to the desired tem­perature position and the blower speed selector to the desired blower speed posi­tion, and turn on "NG" switch. Setting the blower speed selector to a higher blower speed position increases cooling efficiency.
You can switch the air intake selector to either FRESH AIR or RECIRCULATED AIR as you desire. Choosing RECIRCU­LATED AIR increases cooling efficiency.
Quick cooling (using recirculated air) The base settings are the same as for nor­mal cooling except you select RECIRCU­LATED AIR and the highest blower speed.
NOTE: If you select RECIRCULATED AIR for an extended period of time, the air in the vehicle can become contaminated and the windows tend to get misted. There­fore, you should select FRESH AIR whenever possible.
5-21
If your vehicle has been left in the sun with the windows closed, it will cool faster if you open the windows briefly while you operate the air conditioner with the air intake selector at FRESH AIR and the blower at high speed.
Dehumidifying Set the air flow selector to a desired air flow selector position, the temperature selector to the desired temperature posi­tion and the blower speed selector to the desired blower speed position. Also select FRESH AIR and turn on "NG" switch.
NOTE: Because the air conditioner dehumidifies the air, turning it on will help keep the win­dows clear, even when blowing heated air using DEFROST or HEAT & DEFROST functions.
NOTE: If you need maximum defrosting: select DEFROST and FRESH AIR, set the blower speed selector to high, adjust the temperature selector to the hot end, turn on 'WC" switch, and adjust the side outlets so the air blows on the side windows.
