- (U.S.A., Canada).

When the mode is set to or
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.

If A/C is not desired, press the A/C switch to turn it off.

Air intake selector

This switch controls the source of air entering the vehicle.

Press the switch to alternate
between the outside air and recirculated air modes.

It is recommended that under normal conditions the switch be kept in the outside air mode.

Outside air mode (indicator light turned off)

Outside air is taken into the vehicle. Use this mode for normal ventilation and heating.

Recirculated air mode (indicator light illuminated)

Outside air is shut off. Air within the vehicle is recirculated.

This mode can be used when driving on a dusty road or in similar conditions. It also helps to provide quicker cooling of the interior.

WARNING:
Do not use the recirculated air mode in cold or rainy weather:
Using the recirculated air mode 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.

Heating

1. Set the mode selector dial to the
position.

2. Set the temperature control dial to the hot position.

3. Set the fan control dial to the desired speed.

NOTE:
- If the windshield fogs up easily, set the mode selector dial to the
position.

- If cooler air is desired at face level, set the mode selector dial at the
position 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).

- In the

,
, or
position, the air
conditioner is automatically turned on (however, the indicator light does not illuminate) and the outside air mode is automatically selected to defrost the windshield.

In the or
position, the outside air
mode cannot be changed to the recirculated air mode.

Cooling (With Air Conditioner)

1. Set the mode selector dial to the

position.

2. Set the temperature control dial to the cold position.

3. Set the fan control dial to the desired speed.

4. Turn on the air conditioner by pressing the A/C switch.

5. Adjust the fan control dial and temperature control dial to maintain maximum comfort.

CAUTION:
When using the air conditioner while driving up long hills or in heavy traffic, closely monitor the temperature gauge.

The air conditioner may cause engine overheating. If the gauge indicates overheating, turn the air conditioner off.

NOTE:
- 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 mode, then set the fan control dial to position 4.

- If warmer air is desired at floor level, set the mode selector dial at the
position
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

1. Set the mode selector dial to the

position.

2. Set the air intake selector to the outside air mode.

3. Set the temperature control dial to the desired position.

Windshield Defrosting and Defogging

1. Set the mode selector dial to the

position.

2. Set the temperature control dial to the desired position.

3. Set the fan control dial to the desired speed.

WARNING:
Do not defog the windshield using the
position with the temperature control set to the cold position: Using the position 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 position.

NOTE:
- For maximum defrosting, set the temperature control dial to the extreme hot position and the fan control dial to position 4.

- If warm air is desired at the floor, set the mode selector dial to the
position.

- In the

Dehumidifying (With Air Conditioner)

Operate the air conditioner in cool or cold weather to help defog the windshield and side windows.

1. Set the mode selector dial to the desired position.

2. Set the air intake selector to the outside air mode.

3. Set the temperature control dial to the desired position.

4. Set the fan control dial to the desired speed.

5. Turn on the air conditioner by pressing the A/C switch.

NOTE:
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.
