• If warmer air is desired at floor

level for bi-level operation, set the
mode to the

position and

adjust the temperature control to
maintain maximum comfort.

When maximum cooling is

desired, set the temperature con-
trol to the Lo (17°C/62°F) and set
the air intake to the recirculated
air position, then set the fan
speed to the highest speed.

NOTICE

When using the air conditioning sys-
tem, monitor the temperature gauge
closely while driving up hills or in
heavy traffic when outside tempera-
tures are high. Air conditioning sys-
tem operation may cause engine
overheating. Continue to use the
blower fan but turn the air condi-
tioning system off if the temperature
gauge indicates engine overheating.

Air conditioning system oper-
ation tips

• If the vehicle has been parked in

direct sunlight during hot weather,
open the windows for a short time
to let the hot air inside the vehicle
escape.

• To help reduce moisture inside of

windows on rainy humid days,
decrease the humidity inside the
vehicle by operating the air condi-
tioning system.

• During air conditioning system

operation, you may occasionally
notice a slight change in engine
speed at idle as the air condition-
ing compressor cycles on. This is
a normal system operation charac-
teristics.
