Air conditioning system
Air Conditioning Switch (If installed)
The air conditioning is turned on or off by pushing the A/C button on the heating/air conditioning control panel.
Air Conditioning Operation for Cooling
To use the air conditioning to cool the interior: o Set the side vent control to "OFF", to shut off outside air entry.
o Turn on the fan control switch.
o Turn on the air conditioning switch by pushing the switch. The air conditioning indicator light should come on at the same time.
o Set the air intake control to "Fresh" mode
(
).
o Set the temperature control to "Cool". ("Cool"
provides maximum cooling. The temperature
may be moderated by moving the control
toward "Warm".).
o Adjust the fan control to the desired speed.
For greater cooling, turn the fan control to
one of the higher speeds or temporarily
select the "Recirculation (
)" position on
the air intake control.
Dehumidified Heating
For dehumidified heating: o Turn on the fan control switch.
o Turn on the air conditioning switch. The air conditioning indicator light should come on at the same time.
o Set the air intake control to the "Fresh" mode
().
o Set the air flow control to the "Face" ( ).
o Adjust the fan control to the desired speed.
o For more rapid action, set the fan at one of the higher speeds.
o Adjust the temperature control to provide the desired amount of warmth.
Operation Tips
o If the interior of the car is hot when you first get in, open the windows for a few minutes to expel the hot air.
o When you are using the air conditioning system, keep all windows closed to keep hot air out.
o When moving slowly, as in heavy traffic, shift to a lower gear. This increases engine speed, which in turn increases the speed of the air conditioning compressor.
o On steep grades, turn the air conditioning off to avoid the possibility of the engine overheating.
o During winter months or in periods when the air conditioning is not used regularly, run the air conditioning once every month for a few minutes. This will help circulate the lubricants and keep your system in peak operating condition.
DEFROSTING/DEFOGGING
Use the heating/ventilation system to defrost or defog the windshield:
To remove interior fog on the windshield:

o Activate windshield wiper blade de-icer (If installed)
NOTE:
When the A/C is operated continuously on the floor-defrost level (
)
or defrost level (
), it may cause
fog to form on the exterior windshield because of the temperature difference. At
this time set the air flow
control to the face level position (
) and
fan speed control to the low position.
