NORM A/C
When maximum air conditioning is not needed,
using outside air instead of recirculated air can
be quieter, but it is less efficient. To cool your
car with outside air:
1. Move the function selector lever to the Q
(panel) position.
2. Set the air door control lever to the N
(fresh air) position.
3. Set the temperature control lever all the way
in the blue area.
4. Push the A/C button.
5. Set the H speed as desired.
Defrosting the windshield
You can clear a fogged windshield more quickly
by pushing the A/C button to the ON position
after completing steps 1 through 3 of the
Defrosting the Windshield and Side Windows. After
the windshield is clear, push the A/C button off.
Tips for Better Fuel Economy
On mild days, ventilate with outside air. You
will get better fuel economy without using the
air conditioning.
On hot days, close the air door M when using
the air conditioner. The air conditioner works
harder to cool outside air than recirculated air.
Air Conditioning Operation
If your vehicle has been parked with the
windows closed during hot weather, drive for a
few minutes with the windows open and the air
conditioner on. This forces most of the warm air
out of the vehicle.
