Operating Tips
When the outside air is contaminated with exhaust gases, smoke etc. (as when driving through a tunnel)
or to heat/cool the car quickly, push the recirculation button
. In this position, very little air is
drawn into the passenger compartment from outside. However, do not leave the system in this mode for
more than 10-15 minutes, since the air inside the car will become stale and the windows may fog.
NOTE: Do not place any objects over the sensor in the passenger side speaker grille as this will cause
the ECC system to respond incorrectly to ambient conditions.
ECC system fault indication
If the light in the air conditioning push button begins to flash when the ignition is switched on, a simple
fault is indicated. The system will compensate by substituting a standard value stored in the memory.
System performance loss will be slight.
