Manual Operation
You can manually set the system
controls for ventilation, air condi-
tioning, heating, air flow direction,
and fan speed in various combination.
Air Conditioning Button
Pressing the A/C button turns the
air conditioning ON and OFF. The
indicator in the button lights when
the A/C is ON.
When you turn the A/C off, the
system cannot regulate the inside
temperature if you set the dial below
the outside air temperature.
With A/C on, use the temperature
control dial to adjust the temperature
of the air flow to a comfortable
setting.

Air conditioning also removes mois-
ture from the air as it operates. You
can use it to defog the windows
quickly in cool or damp weather.
Used in combination with the heater,
it also makes the interior warm and
dry.
Heating and Cooling

Air conditioning places an extra load
on the engine. Watch the engine
coolant temperature gauge (see page
67 ) when using the A/C in heavy
traffic or driving up long hills. If it
moves near the red zone, turn off the
air conditioning until the gauge
reads normally.
