defroster outlets and the side outlets.
Air conditioning switch (5)
To turn on the air conditioning system, set
the blower speed selector to a position
other than off and push in “A/C” switch.
With this “A/C” switch operation, a indica-
tor light will come on when the air condi-
tioning system is working. To turn off the
air conditioning system, push “A/C” switch
again.
During operation of the air conditioner, you
may notice slight changes in engine
speed. These changes are normal, the
system is designed so that the compressor
turns on or off to maintain the desired tem-
perature.
Less operation of the compressor results
in better fuel economy.
System operating instructions
Natural ventilation
Select VENTILATION and FRESH AIR, the
temperature selector to the desired tem-
perature position, and the blower speed
selector to off. Fresh air will flow through
the vehicle during driving.
Forced ventilation
The base settings are the same as for nat-
ural ventilation except you set the blower
speed selector to a position other than off.
Normal heating (using outside air)
Select HEAT and FRESH AIR, the tem-
perature selector to the desired tempera-
ture position and the blower speed selector
to the desired blower speed position. Set-
ting the blower speed selector to a higher
blower speed position increases heating
efficiency.
Quick heating (using recirculated air)
The base settings are the same as for nor-
mal heating except you select RECIRCU-
LATED AIR. If you use this heating method
for an extended period of time, the air in
the vehicle can become contaminated 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.
