Manual Operation

Set the required:
• Fan speed
• Temperature
• Air flow.
The fan speed and temperature setting will show on the display.
When using the air conditioner, mist may come out from the
vents. This is not a sign of trouble but a result of humid air being
suddenly cooled.
Setting the temperature to maximum high or low will not provide
the required temperature at a faster rate. To prevent cool air blowing
from the vents when heating immediately after starting a cold engine,
the amount of airflow is reduced until the air warms up.
The vehicle heater will continue to produce the selected
temperature regardless of in-vehicle conditions.
If dehumidifying is required, press the A/C button (LED ON). To stop
dehumidifying press A/C button again (LED OFF).
When maximum cooling is required, set the TEMPERATURE dial to
the extreme cold position and press the AIR CIRCULATION button to
the re circulated air position ( will show in the display), then set
a fast fan speed.
