NOTE: The A/C button independently toggles the A/C system's compressor signal and indicator light ON and OFF in the Panel, Panel/Floor, Floor, Defrost and Mix functions. The A/C button will not operate or light when the system is set in the OFF position. The A/C button will operate in defrost but will not override previously discussed automatic operation. Cooling your vehicle with outside air Cooling your vehicle with air conditioned outside air is quieter but less economical than using recirculated air. It also has less cooling capacity. To cool your vehicle using outside air: 1. Turn the air intake selector button off (the outside air position). The air conditioning unit directs outside air through the instrument panel registers. 2. Press one of the function selector buttons. 3. Press the A/C button. The indicator light on the A/C button will illuminate. 4. Turn the temperature control knob to COOL. 5. Turn the fan speed knob to the position of your choice. 6. Make sure the registers in the instrument panel are open. During periods of high humidity, vapor may be emitted from the air outlets when using the A/C with outside air. Correct this by switching to recirculated air with the A/C button. 64
