Air Conditioning - Oldsmobile 1995 88 Owner's Manual

DEFOG: Use on cold, humid days when the windows
become foggy. The a i r is directed through the
windshield, side window, and lower vents.
LOWER: Use to direct most of the air through the
lower vents. Some air will flow through the windshield
and side window vents.
BI-LEV: Use bi-level on cool, but sunny days. This
setting directs air
in two ways. Cool outside
air is directed
to the upper portion of your body through the upper vents
in the instrument panel. Warmed air is directed through the
lower vents, with
a
little air flow through the windshield
and side window vents. At times this temperature
Merence may be more apparent than others.
UPPER: Use,to direct a+ flow through the upper vents
in the instrument panel. Some air will also flow through
the lower outlets.
RECIRC: When RECIRC is selected, the system will
limit the amount of fresh air entering your vehicle. This
is helpful when you are trying to cool the air quickly or
limit odors entering your vehicle. Air flow is directed
through the upper instrument panel vents.
OFF: Turns
off the climate control system. This is the
only setting which fully turns off the fan.
Air Conditioning
The air conditioning may run when defrost
is
selected if
the temperature is above 40°F (4°C). In any other
mode, you can select or turn off a i r conditioning as
desired by pressing N C . The indicator light will glow
while the air conditioning is operating.
For maximum cooling, place the directional control to
RECIRC, turn the fan knob clockwise for highest fan
speed, and turn the temperature knob counterclockwise
to the coldest setting.
On very hot days, open the windows long enough to let
the hot inside air out. This reduces the time the air
conditioner's compressor will have to run, which should
help fuel economy.
