In cold weather, when the system senses the need for
heat, airflow will be directed out of the floor outlets. As
the interior temperature approaches a desired setting, the
blower speed will decrease. To maintain interior
comfort, the airflow may move to the instrument panel
air outlets and floor outlets (bi-level mode). On bright
sunny
days in cold weather, the airflow may come out of
the air conditioning outlets (AC mode) to maintain
comfort and prevent stuffiness.
If your vehicle is sitting out on a hot day and you have
the climate control system set for automatic operation,
the air will first flow out of the floor air outlets during
cool down. That is normal. This is to expel hot air from
the air outlets. As the air is cooled, the airflow will
move through the air conditioning outlets.
To avoid blowing cold air in cold weather, the system will
delay turning on the fan until warm air is available. The
length of delay depends on the outside a i r temperature,
engine coolant temperature or the time since the engine
'was last started. As the coolant warms up, the blower fan
speed will gradually increase and air will flow from the
heater outlets, with some airflow to the windshield to
prevent fogging under most normal conditions.
If you leave your vehicle, the system will remember the
control setting the next time you start your engine,
except for recirculation and rear defrost (heated
backlite). Each ignition cycle cancels recirculation.
Manual Operation
You may manually adjust the air delivery mode or
fan speed.
+ d
HEATElUDEFROST: This setting directs air to
the floor outlets and toward the windshield.
d
AC: This setting directs airflow through
the middle
instrument panel outlets.
! d
BI-LEVEL: This setting directs air into your
vehicle in two ways. Cool air is directed to the upper
portion of your body through the middle instrument
panel outlets while warm air is directed to the floor.
+ @
HEATER: This setting directs warm air through
the floor outlets. Some warm air is diverted to the
w e
- b o
+e
windshield to minimize fogging.
DEFROST Press this button to quickly
remove fog or frost from the windshield (the blower
works in high-speed). This setting sends most of the
airflow to the windshield with only a small amount to
the floor outlets.
