How to Use the Manual Climate Control System
Heating
-
Start the engine.
-
Set the air intake selector to the outside air position (indicator light turns off).
-
Set the temperature control dial to the hot position.
-
Set the fan control dial to the desired speed.
-
If dehumidified heating is desired, turn on the air conditioner.
-
If the windshield fogs up easily, press the
switch. -
If cooler air is desired at face level, press the
switch and adjust the temperature control dial to maintain maximum comfort. -
The air to the floor is warmer than air to the face (except when the temperature control dial is set at the extreme hot or cold position).
Cooling
-
Start the engine.
-
Set the temperature control dial to the cold position.
-
Set the fan control dial to the desired speed.
-
Turn on the air conditioner by pressing the A/C switch.
-
After cooling begins, adjust the fan control dial and temperature control dial as needed to maintain maximum comfort.
-
When maximum cooling is desired, set the temperature control dial to the extreme cold position and set the air intake selector to the recirculated air position, then turn the fan control dial fully clockwise.
-
If warmer air is desired at floor level, press the
switch and adjust the temperature control dial to maintain maximum comfort. -
The air to the floor is warmer than air to the face (except when the temperature control dial is set at the extreme hot or cold position).
Ventilation
-
Start the engine.
-
Set the air intake selector to the outside air position (indicator light turns off).
-
Set the temperature control dial to the desired position.
-
Set the fan control dial to the desired speed.
Windshield Defrosting and Defogging
-
Start the engine.
-
Set the temperature control dial to the desired position.
-
Set the fan control dial to the desired speed.
-
If dehumidified heating is desired, turn on the air conditioner.
Do not defog the windshield using the 
switch with the temperature control set to the cold position:
Using the switch with the temperature control set to the cold position is dangerous as it will cause the outside of the windshield to fog up. Your vision will be hampered, which could lead to a serious accident. Set the temperature control to the hot or warm position when using the switch.
-
Fogging on the windows clears up more easily while the air conditioner is on, but they will fog up more easily if the air conditioner is turned off.
-
Be careful that the windows do not fog up when doing any of the following:
-
Switching to recirculate mode
-
Turning off the air conditioner
-
-
For maximum defrosting, turn on the air conditioner, set the temperature control dial to the extreme hot position, and turn the fan control dial fully clockwise.
-
If warm air is desired at the floor, press the
switch. -
With the
switch, the outside air position is automatically selected to defrost the windshield. The air intake selector cannot be changed to the recirculated air position.
Dehumidifying
Operate the air conditioner in cool or cold weather to help defog the windshield and side windows.
-
Start the engine.
-
Press the desired mode switch you want to set.
-
Set the air intake selector to the outside air position (indicator light turns off).
-
Set the temperature control dial to the desired position.
-
Set the fan control dial to the desired speed.
-
Turn on the air conditioner by pressing the A/C switch.
One of the functions of the air conditioner is dehumidifying the air and, to use this function, the temperature does not have to be set to cold. Therefore, set the temperature control dial to the desired position (hot or cold) and turn on the air conditioner when you want to dehumidify the cabin air.
