Heating and ventilation
There are three controls and two switches for the heating and cooling system. They are: 1. Air flow control.
2. Fan speed control.
3. Temperature control.
4. Air intake control switch.
5. Air conditioning switch.
Fan Speed Control (Blower Control)
This is used to turn the blower fan on and off and to select the fan speed.
The blower fan speed, and therefore the volume of air delivered from the system, may be controlled manually by setting the blower control between the "1" and "4" position.
Air Intake Control
This is used to select fresh outside air or recirculating inside air.
To change the air intake control mode, (Fresh mode, Recirculation mode) push the control button.
FRESH MODE () : The indicator light on
the button goes off when the air intake control
is fresh mode.
RECIRCULATION MODE (): The indicator
light on the button is illuminated when the air
intake control is recirculation mode.
With the "Fresh" mode selected, air enters the vehicle from the outside and is heated or cooled according to the function selected.
With the "Recirculation" mode selected, air from within the passenger compartment will be drawn through the heating system and heated or cooled according to the function selected.
NOTE:
It should be noted that prolonged operation
of the heating in "Recirculation" mode
(
) may result in fogging of the
windshield
and side windows and the air within
the passenger compartment will become
stale. In addition, prolonged use of the air
conditioning with the "Recirculation" mode
(
) selected may result in the air
within
the passenger compartment becoming excessively
dry.
Air Flow Control
This is used to turn the blower fan on/off and to direct the flow of air. Air can be directed to the floor, dashboard outlets, or windshield. Five symbols are used to represent Face, Bi-Level, Floor, Floor-Defrost and Defrost air position.
The MAX A/C mode is used to cool the inside of the vehicle faster. The "OFF" mode is used to turn the blower fan off.
Face-Level
Selecting the "Face" mode will cause air to be discharged through the side and center ventilators.
Bi-Level
Air is discharged through the face vents and the floor vents.
Floor-Level
Air is discharged through the floor vents, windshield defroster nozzle, side defroster nozzle and side ventilator.
Floor-Defrost Level
Air is discharged through the windshield defroster nozzle, the floor vents, side defroster nozzle and side ventilator.
If the "Floor-Defrost" mode is selected, the A/C will be turned on automatically and "Fresh" mode will be activated.
Defrost-Level
Air is discharged through the windshield defroster nozzle, side defroster nozzle and side ventilator.
If the "Defrost" mode is selected, the A/C will be turned turn on automatically and "Fresh" mode will be activated to improve windshield defrosting.
MAX A/C-Level
Air is discharged through the face level vents.
If the "MAX A/C" mode is selected, the A/C will turn on automatically and "Recirculation" mode will be activated.
NOTE:
o The air intake control switch will change
to "" mode when the ignition switch
is turned "ON" with the MAX A/C mode
selected.
o When you change to another mode from MAX A/C, the A/C and the air intake control switch are set to the following chart.
* The A/C or the air intake control switch returns to its former setting.
Off-Level
Air is discharged through the windshield defroster nozzle, side defroster nozzle and side ventilator.
NOTE:
If the air flow control is off, the air intake
control is set to the fresh mode automatically.
Temperature Control
This control is used to adjust the degree of heating or cooling desired.
