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 N C button
pushed in. The system will bring in outside air 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 temperature knob in
the middle and the A/C button pushed in. The system
will bring in outside air and direct slightly warmer air 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 all the
way in the red area. The system will bring in outside air,
heat it and send it to the floor ducts.
Your vehicle has heat ducts that are directed toward the
rear seat. Keep the area under the front seats clear of
obstructions so the heated air can reach the rear seat
passengers.
If your vehicle has an engine coolant heater, you can use
it to help your system provide warm air faster when it's
cold outside (0°F (-18°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 air
through your vehicle. Your vehicle also has the
flow-through ventilation system described later in this
section.
Defogging and Defrosting Windows
Your system has two settings for clearing the front and
side windows. To defrost the windows quickly, use
DEFROST with the temperature knob all the way in the
red
area. To warm passengers while keeping the
windows clean, use DEFOG.
To defog the side windows while using the air
conditioner, set the right control to BI-LEVEL, the fan
control to the highest setting, and press the A/C button.
Aim the side vents toward the side windows. For
increased air flow to
the
side vents, close the center
vents.
