Heating and Cooling
To Heat
To warm the interior, press
and select the Fresh Air
mode. Set the fan to the desired
speed. Adjust the warmth of the air
with the temperature control lever.
To warm the interior rapidly after
the car has been sitting out in cold
weather.
1. Start the engine.
2. Select the Recirculation mode
and
3. Slide the temperature control
lever to maximum heat.
4. Leave the fan OFF for the first
few minutes. When the tempera-
ture gauge rises above the bot-
tom white mark, set the fan to
medium speed.
5. When the interior warms up,
switch to fresh air mode and
adjust the temperature control
lever to a comfortable setting.
To Defrost
To remove frost or ice from the
windshield and side windows after
the car has been sitting out in cold
weather.
1. Start the engine.
2. Select the Recirculation mode
and
3. Open the side defroster vents.
4. Set the fan and temperature
controls to maximum.
These settings direct all the air
flow to the defroster vents at the
base of the windshield and the side
window defroster vents. The air
flow will get warmer and clear the
windows faster as the engine
warms up. You can close the corner
vents with the dial beside each vent.
That will send more warm air to
the side defroster vents.
For safety, make sure you have a
clear view through all the windows
before driving away.
To Turn Everything Off
To shut off the system temporarily,
slide the fan speed and temperature
control levers all the way to the left.
You should shut the system
completely off only for the first few
minutes of driving in cold weather,
until the engine coolant warms up
enough to operate the heater. Keep
the fan on at all other times so stale
air does not build up in the interior.
