air in the vehicle can become contami-
nated and the windows can become misty.
Therefore, use this method only for quick
heating and change to the normal heating
method as soon as possible.
Head cooled/Feet warmed heating
Select “BI-LEVEL” and “FRESH AIR”, the
temperature selector to the desired tem-
perature position, and the blower speed
selector to the desired blower speed posi-
tion. Unless the temperature selector is in
the fully COLD position or fully HOT posi-
tion, the air that comes out of the center
and side outlets will be cooler than the air
that comes out of the floor outlets.
Defrosting/Feet warmed heating
Select “HEATER & DEFROST” and
“FRESH AIR”, the temperature selector to
the desired temperature position, and the
blower speed selector to HIGH. When the
windshield has become clear, set the
blower speed selector to the desired
blower speed position.
Defrosting
Select “DEFROST” and “FRESH AIR”, the
temperature selector to the desired tem-
perature position (higher temperature pro-
vides more efficient defrosting), and the
blower speed selector to HIGH. When the
windshield has become clear, set the
blower speed selector to the desired
blower speed position.
Normal cooling
Turn on the “A/C” switch, set the air flow
selector to “VENTILATION”, the tempera-
ture selector to the desired temperature
position and the blower speed selector to
the desired blower speed position. Setting
the blower speed selector to a higher
blower speed position increases cooling
efficiency.
You can switch the air intake selector to
either “FRESH AIR” or “RECIRCULATED
AIR” as you desire. Choosing “RECIRCU-
LATED AIR” increases cooling efficiency.
Quick cooling (using recirculated air)
The control settings are the same as for
normal cooling except you select “RECIR-
CULATED AIR” and the highest blower
speed.
NOTE:
• If you select “RECIRCULATED AIR” for
an extended period of time, the air in the
vehicle can become contaminated.
Therefore, you should occasionally
select “FRESH AIR”.
• If your vehicle has been left in the sun
with the windows closed, it will cool
faster if you open the windows briefly
while you operate the air conditioner with
the air intake selector at “FRESH AIR”
and the blower at high speed.
Dehumidifying
Turn on the “A/C” switch, set the air flow
selector to a desired air flow selector posi-
tion, and select “FRESH AIR”, the temper-
ature selector to the desired temperature
position, and the blower speed selector to
the desired blower speed position.
NOTE:
Because the air conditioner dehumidifies
the air, turning it on will help keep the win-
dows clear, even when blowing heated air
using the “DEFROST” or “HEATER &
DEFROST” functions.
