Air Conditioning
#
(Air Conditioning): Press this button to turn the air
conditioning (A/C) compressor on and off. The
snowflake symbol will appear on the display when the
A/C is on and will turn off when the air conditioning is off.
Pressing this button when the outside temperature is
too cool for air conditioning will make the snowflake
symbol flash three times and then turn off to let
you know the air conditioning mode is not available. If
the air conditioning is on and the outside temperature
drops below a temperature which is too cool for air
conditioning to be effective, the snowflake symbol will
turn off to let you know the air conditioning mode
has been canceled.
When air conditioning is selected or in AUTO mode, the
system will run the air conditioning automatically to cool
and dehumidify the air entering the vehicle. If you select
A/C off while in front defrost, defog or recirculation, the
A/C snowflake symbol will turn off, but the A/C
compressor will still run to help prevent fogging.
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.
On cool, but sunny days while using manual operation
of the automatic system, use bi-level to deliver warm
air to the floor and cooler air to the instrument
panel outlets. To warm or cool the air delivered, turn the
temperature knob to the desired setting.
In AUTO mode the system will cool and dehumidify the
air inside the vehicle. Also while in AUTO mode, the
system will maximize its performance by using
recirculation as necessary.
Defogging and Defrosting
You can use either defog or front defrost to clear fog or
frost from your windshield. Use the defog mode to
clear the windows of fog or moisture. Use the front
defrost button to defrost the front windshield.
-(Defog): Use this setting to clear the windows of fog
or moisture. Press the mode button to select this
setting. This setting will deliver air to the floor and
windshield outlets.
0 (Defrost): Press the front defrost button to defrost
the windshield. The system will automatically control
the fan speed if you select defrost from AUTO mode. If
the outside temperature is 40°F (4°C) or warmer,
your air conditioning compressor will automatically run
to help dehumidify the air and dry the windshield.
