Because MAX A/C uses recirculated air, MAX is usually more efficient than NORM A/C. You can switch to outside air (NORM A/C) at any time, especially after the vehicle has cooled down. You will notice a slight odor when using the MAX A/C position. This is normal. If the odor becomes annoying, switch the function selector to NORM A/C. To provide the most quiet operation when using MAX A/C, reduce the fan speed after a comfortable temperature has been reached. NORM A/C When maximum air conditioning is not needed, you can use the NORM A/C position to cool your vehicle with outside air. Cooling your vehicle this way brings in outside air and is quieter, but it is less efficient. To cool your vehicle using outside air: 1. 2. 3. Turn the function selector control to NORM A/C. Turn the temperature control all the way to left to the blue (cool) area. Set the fan at the desired speed. In mild weather, setting the function selector control in the VENT position will add cool air to your vehicle without using the air conditioning. You will get better fuel economy without using the air conditioning. 70
