Buick Buick Century Automobile User Manual


 
FRONT
This setting brings in outside air and
directs most of
the
air through the defrost vent. Some
of the air also goes
to
the floor ducts and the side
window defogger outlets. The indicator on the button
will light and WINDSHIELD will be lit in the display.
The air conditioning compressor will run automatically
in this setting unless the outside temperature is below
40°F
(4°C).
VENT
This pushbutton turns the air conditioning
compressor
on
and off. The indicator lights when
the compressor is turned
off.
Recirculation is not
permitted when
the
compressor is
off.
The system
will try
to
control the temperature automatically, but
without the compressor.
RECIRC:
This setting recirculates much
of
the
air inside your vehicle. This setting is not permitted
in FRONT defrost mode and is only permitted in
WINDSHIELD/FLOOR mode if the compressor is
turned on. The indicator light will be
lit
when
Recirculation is engaged, but will light for
one
second
and then turn off if selected when not permitted.
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.
