Air Conditioner Controls (Option)
The air conditioning system uses the same controls as
described previously.
The function of each control is explained under
"Climate Control System" in this part. The incoming air
is cooled and dehumidified instead of being heated.
Push the N C button to change your comfort control
system from heating to air conditioning. A light will
come on when the air conditioning is on. The N C
button can also control the humidity in your vehicle.
The air conditioner works best if you keep your
windows closed. On very hot days, open the windows
just long enough for the hot air to escape.
For normal cooling, push the A/C button and move the
air intake lever to CIRCULATE for normal cooling. For
faster cooling, move the lever to RECIRCULATE.
Then move the airflow knob to VENT and turn the
temperature control knob to the left. Turn the fan knob
to HI.
On days when it is raining or the humidity is high,
follow these dehumidifying steps instead of the cooling
directions. It will help clean windows that are cloudy
with moisture.
Move the air intake lever to CIRCULATE and turn the
airflow knob to DEFROST. Turn the fan knob to HI and
adjust the temperature knob to a comfortable setting.
Heating
For the quickest results, move the air intake lever to
RECIRCULATE and the airflow knob to FLOOR.
Turn the temperature knob to the right for warmer air
and turn the fan knob toward HI. You should switch
to CIRCULATE once in a while to avoid stale air
and cloudy windows. To prevent cold air from
blowing in, you may shut off the outer dash vents by
using the thumbwheels.
