toward the floor and windshield outlets. If the down
AIR
FLOW
button is selected while in the FRONT
defrost mode, the system will send the air toward the
floor and FRONT will cancel. The arrows will appear
on the display.
VENT
The
VENT
button allows fresh
air
to flow through
your Buick without the air conditioning compressor
working. AUTO and
VENT
may be selected at the same
time so the system will maintain the temperature selected.
Press the button again to
turn
off
the VENT selection.
RECIRC:
Press this button to limit the amount of fresh
air entering your vehicle. You may use this setting to
limit odors entering your vehicle. Press RECIRC to
change to a manual MODE and air will recirculate for
10
minutes. RECIRC will show on the display and then
return to
EXT
temperature display.
Air Conditioning
On 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. Then keep your windows closed
for the air conditioner to work its best.
If you have the electronic touch system, for quick
cool-down on very hot days, use MAX with the
temperature and fan speed adjusted to COOL and
HIGH.
If this setting is used for long periods
of
time, the
air in your vehicle may become
too
cold and dry.
For normal cooling on hot days, use NORM and
adjust the temperature and fan speed for your comfort.
If
RECIRC is selected while in the NORM air
conditioning mode, the system works like MAX and
recirculates the air.
On sunny days, when the air is moderately warm or cool,
use
BI-LEV
to deliver warm air to the floor and cooler
air to the middle instrument panel outlets.
On
days like
these, the sun may adequately warm your upper body, but
your lower body may not be warm enough. To warm or
cool the air delivered, adjust the TEMPERATURE lever.
The amount of fresh air entering the vehicle is limited
when RECIRC is selected. This is helpful when you are
trying to cool the air in your vehicle or limit the air
entering the vehicle for some other reason.
When the air conditioner
is
on, you may sometimes
notice slight changes in your vehicle's engine speed
and power. This is normal because the system is
designed to cycle
the
compressor
on
and off to keep
the desired temperature,
