BI-LEV:
This setting brings
in
outside air and directs
it two ways. Half
of
the air
is
directed through
the
instrument panel outlets. Most
of
the remaining air is
directed through the floor ducts and a little
to
the defrost
and side window vents. The air conditioning compressor
will run automatically in this setting unless the outside
temperature is below 40°F (4°C).
VENT
This setting brings in outside air and directs
it
through the instrument panel outlets.
HTR:
This setting sends most of the air through the
ducts near
the
floor. The rest comes out of the defroster
and side window vents.
BLEND:
This setting allows half of the air
to
go to
the floor ducts and half to the defroster and side
window vents. The air conditioning compressor will
run automatically in this setting unless the outside
temperture is below 40°F (4°C).
9
FRONT
This setting directs most of
the
air
through the defroster and side window vents. Some
of
the air also goes to the
floor
ducts. The air conditioning
compressor will run automatically in this setting unless
the outside temperature is below
40°F
(4°C).
Air Conditioning
On very
hot
days, open
the
windows long enough to let
hot, inside air escape. This reduces the time for the
vehicle to cool down.
For a quick cool-down
on
very hot days, use MAX with
the temperature knob all the way
in
the blue area. 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
NORM
with the
temperature knob in the blue area. The system will bring
in
outside air and cool
it.
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-LEV
and set the temperature knob to
a
comfortable setting. The system will bring in outside air
and direct
it
to your upper body, while sending slightly
warmed air
to
your lower body.
You
may notice this
temperature difference more at some times than others.
