Air Distribution
Air conditioned, warmed, or fresh air may be directed to the
foot area, the windshield, and the side outlets (8). The
center outlets (6) are for non-heated air only.
The air volume through the center outlets (6) and side
outlets (8) may be changed with levers (7) and (9) respecti­
vely. Pushing the lever up opens the air outlets completely.
Temperature Selection
Use the tem perature selector wheel to set the desired
temperature. The selected tem perature is reached as
quickly as possible and maintained. Use a basic setting
of "22" . Refine your setting only in small steps to avoid
large temperature fluctuations.
" MIN" (notched-in) = maximum cooling or fresh air de­
pendent on push button selection of the air conditioning
mode control.
" MAX" (notched-in) = maximum heating.
A/C Mode Control Switch
Position (Economy) = Economical setting. In this
setting the air conditioning compressor stays off.
Temperature regulation is maintained only during the
heating phase.
Position IJ U = Normal cooling, the air conditioning com ­
pressor is switched on.
The vehicle may be heated or cooled as desired. The
compressor comes on as soon as the vehicle's interior
temperature exceeds the selected temperature. The se­
lected temperature is then maintained by regulating the
compressor on-time.
m
Position = Max. cooling, the air conditioning compres­
sor is switched on.
The climate control system works at maximum capacity,
removing moisture from either fresh air or recirculated air
and defogs inside glass. The max. cooling mode, is recom­
mended during humid weather and when windows must
be defogged from inside.
