Air Conditioning
On very hot days, open the windows long enough to let
hot inside air escape. This reduces the time the
compressor has to run, which should help fuel economy.
For quick cool-down on very hot days, use MAX with
the temperature knob all the way in the blue area. If this
setting is used. for long periods of time, the air in your
vehicle may become too dry.
For normal cooling on hot days, use VENT with the
temperature knob in the blue area and the NC'button
pushed
in.
The system will bring in outside
a i r
and cool it.
On cool but sunny days, the sun may warm your upper
body, but your lower body may not be warm enough.
You can use BI-LEVEL with the,terhperature knob in
the middle and the
A/C
button pushed
in.
The system
will bring in outside air and direct it to your upper body,
while sending slightly warmed
a i r
to your lower body.
You may notice this temperature difference more at
.
'
some times than others.

Heating
On cold days use FLOOR with the temperature knob all
the way
in
the red area. The system will bring
in
outside
air, heat it and send it to the floor ducts.
If your vehicle has an engine coolant heatkr, you can use
it to help your system provide warm air faster when it's
cold outside
(0"
F (-1 8
O
C ) or lower). An engine coolant-
heater warms the coolant your engine and heating
system use to provide heat. See "Engine Coolant
Heater" in the Index.
Ventilation
For mild outside temperatures when little heating or
cooling is needed, use VENT to direct outside
a i r
through
your vehicle. Your vehicle also has the flow-through
ventilation system described later in this section.
Defogging and Defrosting Windows

side windows. To defrost the windows'quickly, use
