NOTE : When the mode selection dial is set to the “ ”
or “ ” position, the air conditioning compressor will
operate automatically. The outside air position will also
be selected automatically. (In this case, the air condition-
ing indicator will not change.) This is done for optimum
performance.
Changing air selection
Normally use the “outside” position to keep the wind-
shield and side windows clear and, also to quickly
remove fog or frost from the windshield.
When air conditioning is selected, the air selection will be
controlled automatically for optimum performance.
When the air conditioning is turned off, the air selection
will be set to the outside position.
The air selection indicator will show the selected posi-
tion.
If desired, you can change the air selection. Every time
the air selection switch is pushed, the mode for “outside”
(Indicator OFF) and “recirculation” (Indicator ON) will
alternate.
If high cooling performance is desired, or if the outside
air is dusty or otherwise contaminated, use the “recircu-
lation” position. Although, switch to the outside position
periodically to prevent window fog up.
CAUTION!
Using the “recirculation” position for extended time
periods causes the windows to fog up.
