Heating and Cooling
How to Use the System
This section covers the best way to
use the system for ventilation,
cooling, dehumidifying, defrosting
and heating. In most cases, the mode
and air source selections are only
recommendations. You may prefer
different settings.
Use mode to heat or cool the
interior more quickly, or to keep out
smoke and dust. Leaving the system
in the recirculation mode with the
A / C off can cause the windows to
fog up. Switch to mode as
soon as the interior reaches a
comfortable temperature or the
outside smoky, dusty condition
clears.
The engine must be running for the
heater and air conditioning to pro-
vide hot and cold air. The heater
uses engine coolant to warm the air.
If the engine is cold, it will be several
minutes before you feel warm air
circulating.
The air conditioning system does not
depend on engine temperature. It
can produce cold air almost immedi-
ately.
Controlling Air Flow Direction
Air flows into the interior at three
levels: Toward the floor
through the dash vents and
toward the windshield and side
windows You select the air
flow level or combination of levels
with the five mode buttons.
Ventilation
Your car has a flow-through venti-
lation system. Air enters the car
through vents in front of the wind-
shield. It circulates through the
interior then exits through the rear
side panels. This system provides
fresh air even when the car is
standing still. To bring in outside air,
press the button. Set the fan
at a comfortable speed.
