Instrument panel vents
You can adjust the direction of air delivered from these vents using the vent control lever as shown. If you do not want the
air delivered, place the vent control lever to the close (
) position.
Temperature control
The temperature will increase to the maximum (HI) by moving the switch upwards.
The temperature will decrease to the minimum (Lo) by moving the switch downwards.
When moving the switch, the temperature will increase or decrease by 0.5 °C. When set to the lowest temperature setting, the air conditioning will operate continuously.
When starting the vehicle in cold weather using manual temperature control, operate the system in the following method to improve heating.
-
Turn off or lower the blower, right after starting the engine.
-
Allow the engine to warm up during this time since the air flow from the heater is still cold.
-
After a few minutes of engine warm up, turn on or set the fan to a higher level and adjust the temperature setting to hot.
