Vehicles With Air Conditioning
A. Fan Control
B. Temperature Control
C. Air Delivery Mode
Control
On hot days, open the windows to let hot inside air
escape; then close them. This helps to reduce the time
it takes for the vehicle to cool down. It also helps the
system to operate more efficiently.
Air Delivery Mode Control: Turn clockwise or
counterclockwise to change the direction of the airflow
inside the vehicle.
Select from the following modes:
<
(Maximum Air Conditioning): For maximum
cooling. The system goes into recirculation mode and
helps to maximize the air conditioner's performance and
the vehicle's fuel economy. This setting also cools the air
the fastest.
D. Rear Window
Defogger
Y
(Air Conditioning): For normal cooling on hot days.
Outside air is cooled and directed to the instrument
panel vents.
)
(Bi-Level Air Conditioning): Air is divided between
the floor and instrument panel vents. The air conditioning
compressor cycles continuously in this setting as long as
the outside temperature is warm enough to activate the
compressor.
H
(Vent): Air is directed to the instrument panel vents.
6
(Floor): Air is directed to the floor vents. Use this
mode to send air to the rear of the vehicle. Keep the area
under the front seats free of objects that could obstruct
airflow to the rear of the vehicle.
-
(Defog): This mode clears the windows of fog or
moisture. Outside air is directed to the floor and
defroster outlets. Adjust the temperature knob for
warmer or cooler air. The air conditioning compressor
may operate in this setting to dehumidify the air.
0
(Defrost): This mode removes fog or frost from the
windshield more quickly. Air is directed to the
windshield, with some going to the floor outlets and
front side windows. The air conditioning compressor may
operate in this setting to dehumidify the air.
The temperature knob should be in the red area and the
fan control toward high. Do not drive the vehicle until all
the windows are clear.
