Instruments and controls
Start in cold weather
To start with, the system will automatically select the defroster set-
ting, maximum heat and low fan speed.
As the engine warms up, air will also be distributed through the floor
vents and the fan speed will be increased.
As the temperature inside the car nears the selected value, both the
fan speed and the heat will be decreased to a level determined by
the system.
Start in warm weather
The system will automatically distribute air through the panel vents
at high fan speed and will activate the A/C compressor (unless the
AC OFF switch has been pressed).
If the ambient air temperature is over 77 °F (25 °C), the recirculation
cuts in after 0-15 seconds, if this is required in order to reach the
desired temperature.
As the temperature inside the car nears the selected value, the fan
speed will be decreased to a value determined by the system.
