Heating & Ventilation
Maximum ventilation
Set the controls as shown. Open all the face level vents and adjust
the centre vents to deliver fresh, unheated air. When the car
interior reaches a satisfactory temperature, adjust the blower speed
to the most comfortable setting.
Defrost windscreen
Set the controls as shown. To obtain maximum heated air flow
from windscreen and side window vents, keep the face level vents
closed.
AIR CONDITIONING*
The air conditioner provides additional cooling and also reduces
moisture from the air.
Using the air conditioning
The air conditioning can only be used when the engine is running.
It is also important to keep the windows and sunroof closed.
NOTE: The air conditioner will only operate when the blower is switched
on. It will not operate with the blower switched off, nor when the
temperature is near freezing point.
Operation of the air conditioning system places an extra load on
the engine. In very hot conditions, or when the engine is required
to work unusually hard (climbing long hills or driving in congested
traffic, for example), this could result in high engine temperatures.
If the pointer nears the RED zone of the temperature gauge,
switch off the air conditioning until the engine temperature
returns to normal.
To help cool the engine, the air conditioning fans may continue
to operate for up to five minutes after the starter switch is turned
off. During this period, if the air conditioning and blower switches
are left on, the switch indicator light will remain illuminated.
In conditions of high humidity, slight screen misting may be
experienced when the air conditioning system is switched on. This
is a natural occurrence on most automotive air conditioning
systems. It is not a fault; misting will clear after a few seconds once
the air conditioning system is operating.
