Defrost - Fresh air is drawn in and discharged through the defrost louvers.
The A/C compressor is engaged to help dehumidify the air discharged from
the defrost ducts.
Temperature Control Switch:
This switch controls an electric water valve which regulates the amount of
engine coolant passing through the heating coils in the system. Rotating to
the red area provides warmer air; rotating to the blue area provides cooler air.
Operating tips and hints:
Air intake and discharge temperatures are greatly effected by ambient tem-
perature and relative humidity. A large amount of cooling capacity is used to
dehumidify air as well as cool it. After three to five minutes of A/C opera-
tions the discharged air temperature should be approximately 30º F cooler
than the fresh or recirculated air entering the A/C system.
Winter Use:
• De-ice the windshield using the DEFROST mode.
• Higher temperature discharge air will occur with the
blower set to a lower speed setting until the engine
has reached normal operating temperature.
Summer Use:
• Close all windows and vents to hot, humid outside air.
• MAX A/C and HI blower will provide quick cool
down.
• Using a lower blower speed will produce cooler dis-
charge air.
