Air Conditioning
Heating
On cold days, use
FLOOR
with the temperature knob
all the way in the red area. The system will bring in
outside air, heat it and send it to the floor ducts.
The air conditioner and heater work best
if
you keep
your windows closed while using them. Your vehicle
also has the flow-through ventilation system described
later in this section.
On very hot days, open the windows long enough to
let hot inside air escape. This reduces the time it takes
for your vehicle to cool down, which should help
fuel economy.
On cool, but sunny days, the sun may warm your upper
body, but your lower body may not be
warm
enough.
You can use
BI-LEVEL
with the temperature knob in
the middle and the A/C button pushed in. The system
will bring in outside air and direct slightly warmer air
to your lower body.
For quick cool-down on very hot days, use
VENT
with
the temperature knob all the way in the blue area and the
A/C
and RECIRCULATION buttons pressed. If this
setting is used for long periods of time, the air in your
vehicle may become too dry.
For normal cooling on hot days, use
VENT
with the
temperature knob in the blue area and the
NC
button
pushed
in.
The
system will bring
in
outside
air
and
cool
it.
Your vehicle has heat ducts that
are
directed toward the
rear seat. Keep the area under the front seats clear
of
obstructions
so
the heated air can reach the rear seat
passengers.
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.
Defogging and Defrosting Windows
Your system has two settings for clearing the front and
side windows. For each setting, adjust the temperature
control as desired.
To defrost the windows quickly, rotate the temperature
control knob
all
the
way
in
the red area.
Use DEFROST
and adjust the fan to the highest speed. To
warm
passengers while keeping the windows clean, use DEFOG.
