and the blower control to the highest position. The A/C will be ON if recirculation is not on. When the windows have cleared, set the blower control to the second position and the function

selector to the desired position. Always keep the air intake grille at the base of the windshield under the rear edge of the hood free of snow.

Additional information

• The air conditioning system will function best if it is always left on.

• Water under the vehicle in hot weather can be the result of condensation from the air conditioning system and is quite normal.

• The air conditioning system functions only at temperatures above 32° F (0° C).

• Use the RECIRCULATION function if the outside air is contaminated with exhaust gases, smoke, etc or to heat/cool the car quickly. In this position, very little air is drawn into the passenger compartment from the

outside. Do not leave the system in this mode for more than 10-15 minutes since the air inside the car will become stale. The temperature can be controlled with the temperature selectors.

• If the panel vents are open, a certain amount of air will always flow through, regardless of the position the function selector is in. To increase the flow of air to either the floor or the windows, close the panel vents and

open the outer vents .

• The panel vents may emit some condensation when the air conditioning is initially switched on and is quite normal. This may occur if the ambient temperature and humidity are high.

• The air conditioning is momentarily disengaged during full-throttle acceleration.
