Air Conditioning

On hot days, open the windows long enough to let hot
inside air escape. This reduces the time it takes for your
vehicle to cool down. Then keep your windows closed
for the air conditioner to work its best.

If you have the electronic touch system, for quick
cool

-

down on very hot days, use MAX with the

temperature and fan speed adjusted to COOL and
HIGH. If this setting is used for long periods of time, 
the air in your vehicle may become too cold and dry.

For normal cooling on hot days, use NORM and adjust
the temperature and fan speed for your comfort. If
RECIRC is selected while in the NORM air
conditioning mode, the system works like MAX and
recirculates the air.

On sunny days, when the air is moderately warm or
cool, use BI

-

LEV to deliver warm air to the floor and

cooler air to the middle instrument panel outlets. On
days like these, the sun may adequately warm your
upper body, but your lower body may not be warm
enough. To warm or cool the air delivered, adjust the
TEMPERATURE lever.

The amount of fresh air entering the vehicle is limited
when RECIRC is selected. This is helpful when you are
trying to cool the air in your vehicle or limit the air
entering the vehicle.

If your vehicle has the Dual Automatic ComforTemp

t

system and it is set for AUTO, on very hot days, the
system will automatically enter the RECIRC mode and
the temperature door will be positioned at the full cold
position for maximum cooling. If the system is not in
the AUTO mode, RECIRC should be selected to provide
maximum cooling. You can choose the extreme comfort
setting of 60

_

F (16

C), but the system will not cool any

faster by choosing the extreme comfort setting.
