VENT
This setting allows outside
air
to
flow through
the instrument panel outlets.
HTR:
This setting sends most of the air through the
heater ducts. Adjust
the
temperature control to a warm
setting. If you have the engine coolant heater, you can
use it
in
cold weather
(20”
F
(-8
C) or lower) to heat
your vehicle’s passenger area quicker. The engine
coolant heater warrns the engine coolant which will
ultimately warm the passenger area more efficiently.
(See “Engine Coolant Heater” in the Index.)
BLEND:
This setting divides the airflow equally
between the heater and the defroster outlets.
FRONT
This setting operates the defroster. Most
of the air comes out near the windshield. Use this setting
when you get fog or ice on the windshield.
Air Conditioning
The air conditioner cools the air coming into your
vehicle. The
air
conditioner works best when the
windows are closed. On a very hot day, you might want
to open the windows to let the hottest air out. This
reduces the time it takes your vehicle to cool down,
which should help fuel economy.
For quick cool-down on very hot days, use MAX with
the temperature knob in the blue area.
If
this setting is
used for long periods of time, the air in your vehicle
may become too dry.
For normal cooling days, use
NORM
with the
temperature knob in the blue area. The system will
bring in outside air and cool it.
On cool but sunny days, the sun may warm your
upper body, but your lower body may not be warm
enough. You can use BI-LEV with the temperature kno
in the middle. The system will bring in outside air and
direct slightly warmer air to your lower body. You may
notice this temperature difference more at some times
than others.
Heating
On cold days, use
HTR
with the temperature knob all
the way in the red area. The system will bring in outside
air, heat it and send it to the floor ducts.
If
your vehicle has an engine coolant heater, you can use
it
to help your system provide warm air faster when it’s
cold outside (O”F(-
18
O
C) or lower).
An
engine coolant
heater warms the coolant your engine and heating
system use to provide heat. See “Engine Coolant
Heater” in the Index.
