Operating Tips

Fast Cool Down
For a fast cool down, turn the blower fan rotary knob to
the extreme clockwise position, turn the mode selector to
the panel position and drive with the windows open for
the first few minutes. Once the hot air has been expelled,
close the windows and turn the mode selector to Max
A/C-Recirculation. When a comfortable condition has
been reached, choose a mode position and adjust the
temperature control knob and blower speed as necessary
to maintain comfort. For high humidity conditions it may
be necessary to remain in the Max A/C-Recirculation
mode to maintain comfort.
Window Fogging
In mild but rainy or humid weather, windows will fog on
the inside. To rapidly clear the fog off all the windows,
select the defrost mode, turn the temperature control
knob fully clockwise, and position the blower control to
its highest speed. Once the windshield has been cleared,
adjust the controls for your comfort.
On air conditioned vehicles, the compressor will operate
when in the Mix or Defrost modes and when the outside
temperature is approximately 30°F (-1°C) to provide
additional defrost/defog.
