Heating and Cooling (cont'd)
How to Use the Controls
To Ventilate
Move the temperature lever to the left, push the FRESH and VENT
buttons. Turn the fan switch on and outside air will flow through
the side and center vents. To change air distribution, select the
HI-LO position and outside air will also flow from the heater ducts
at the floor level.
To Cool with Optional Air Conditioner
To cool the car down quickly, start the engine, switch the fan to
high, push the A/C button and open the windows briefly. Then
close the windows, slide the temperature lever all the way to the
left, select the VENT position and push the REC button on, so in­
side air will recirculate to the air conditioner for maximum cooling.
When the interior has cooled sufficiently, switch the fan to the
desired speed, then select the FRESH position to direct fresh (out­
side) air to the air conditioner.
When using the air conditioner in heavy traffic, or while driving up
long hills, watch the temperature gauge: if the needle moves near
the "H ” end of the scale, turn the air conditioner off by pushing
the A/C button; leave it off until the needle goes back into the mid­
dle of the scale.
