to generate hot and cold air. The
heater uses engine coolant to
warm the air. If the engine is
cold, it will be several minutes
before you feel warm air coming
from the system.
The air conditioning does not
rely on engine temperature.
It is best to leave the system in
mode under almost all
conditions. Keeping the system
in mode, particularly with
the A/C off, can cause the
windows to fog up. Switch to
mode when you are driving
through smoky or dusty
conditions, then switch back to
mode when the condition
clears.
The outside air intakes for the
heating and cooling system are at
the base of the windshield. Keep
these clear of leaves and other
debris.
