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.

the

Your vehicle's flow-through ventilation system supplies

cooling is needed,
use VENT to
direct outside air
through your vehicle.
