Outside Air
Vent
Changing the "Air Conditioner" mode to draw in air directly from the outside for cooling rather
than allowing it to be influenced by the heater-core isn’t an obvious process, but it is surprisingly
easily once you know how.
Many people call this "opening the vent" and it is used most frequently in the summer when you
want to avoid having to turn on the A/C.
Here’s how:
1. Press the "A/C" button so the yellow-bar above it disappears.
2. Press the circulation button so the yellow-bar above the "outside car arrow" appears.
3. Reduce the temperature to the lowest setting, called "Max Cold".
The Multi-Display will then resemble the example above.
You may alter the blowing location to any of the 4 settings available and the blowing speed to any
of the 7 settings available.
