the fan speed if defrost is selected from the AUTO

runs to help dehumidify the air and dry the windshield.

the compressor is turned off while in this mode.

on and off. An indicator light turns on to show the air
conditioning is on.
When air conditioning is selected or is in AUTO mode,
the system runs the air conditioning automatically to
cool and dehumidify the air entering the vehicle.
On hot days, open the windows long enough to let hot
inside air escape. This reduces the time it takes for the
vehicle to cool down. Then keep the 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, press the
temperature buttons to the desired setting.
