AIR CONDITIONING
272
Operating the two−temperature selector —
The air conditioning system has two independent
temperature selectors: left and right (for the use of
driver and front passenger respectively).
There are cases where the temperature of the airflow
may not be the same on the driver and front
passenger side according to circumstances, even if
the left and right temperature selectors are set at the
same temperature. If this situation occurs, use the
fine tuning operation to adjust the air temperature on
one side.
There are cases where one or both of the airflow
temperatures may not accurately reflect the set
temperature, when the airflow temperature settings
on the left and right are substantially different. For
example, if the left controller is set at a moderate
temperature while the right controller is set at
maximum heating or maximum cooling, or vice
versa. If this situation occurs, use the fine tuning
operation to adjust the air temperature on each side.
SETTING OPERATION — manual control
When one of the manual control buttons is depressed
while operating in automatic mode, the operation
corresponding to the depressed button is set. Other
conditions continue to be adjusted automatically.
To manually select air flow modes —
The outlets from which air is delivered can be selected
manually by pushing the buttons. The function of each mode
is as follows:
1 Panel — Air flows primarily from the instrument panel
vents and rear vents.
2 Bi−level — Air flows from the floor vents, instrument
panel vents and rear vents.
When you set the temperature selector setting during
automatic operation, warm air flows out of the floor vents
and cooler air flows out of the instrument panel vents and
rear vents.
