position and
the temperature control dial set at a medium temperature, heated air is directed to the feet and a comparably lower air temperature will flow through the central, left and right vents.

A/C switch

With the fan control dial ON, press the A/C switch to select the air conditioning (cooling/dehumidifying functions) on or off.

NOTE:
- The air conditioner may not function when the outside temperature approaches 0 °C (32 °F).

- (Type B).

When the mode is set to
with the fan control dial in a position other than 0 and the temperature control dial in the maximum cold position, the air intake selector switches to the recirculated air mode and the A/C turns on automatically.

Recirculated air position (indicator light illuminated)

Use this position when going through tunnels, driving in congested traffic (high engine exhaust areas) or when quick cooling is desired.

Outside air position (indicator light turned off)

Use this position for normal conditions and defogging.

WARNING:
Do not use the position in
cold or
rainy weather:
Using the position in cold
or
rainy weather is dangerous as it will cause the windows to fog up. Your vision will be hampered, which could lead to a serious accident.

NOTE:
Use the temperature control dial to increase the air flow temperature and defog the windshield more quickly.

Sunlight/Temperature Sensor

The automatic air conditioner function measures inside and outside temperatures, and sunlight. It then sets temperatures inside the passenger compartment accordingly.

CAUTION:
Do not obstruct either sensor, otherwise the automatic air conditioner will not operate properly.
