AIR CONDITIONING .If manual fan speed control is desired - If manual switching of air intake is desired − " 1 Fan speed at low 2 Fan speed at high The fan speed can be set to your desired speed by touching the appropriate fan speed control switch. The higher the fan speed is, the more air is delivered. Pushing the "OFF" button turns off the fan. To remove the exterior windshield frost and interior windshield fog, use the high speed setting. The selected mode is highlighted in green. The air intake control button is used to switch the air intake between the OUTSIDE AIR mode and RECIRCULATED AIR mode. With the button in the OUTSIDE AIR mode, the indicator light will turn off and the system will take fresh outside air into the vehicle. If quick circulation of cooled air is desired, push the air intake control button for RECIRCULATED AIR. The indicator light will come on. For normal use, it is best to keep the air intake control button set to the OUTSIDE AIR mode. If recirculated air is used during heating, the windows will fog up more easily. To prevent fogging up of the windshield, the air intake mode may change automatically to the OUTSIDE AIR mode depending on the condition of the air conditioning system. For example, when the ambient temperature is low, the air intake mode may change automatically to the OUTSIDE AIR mode. This is not a malfunction. If the temperature of engine coolant or the electric compressor inverter becomes extremely high, the RECIRCULATED AIR mode is automatically selected. In this case, it is not possible to select the OUTSIDE AIR mode by pushing the air intake control button. This is not a malfunction. When the engine coolant temperature or inverter temperature becomes low, the air intake mode returns to the mode previously used. If manual on−off of the air conditioning is desired - Touch the "A/C" switch to turn the air conditioning on and touch it again to turn the air conditioning off. The air conditioning does not work if the outside temperature is lowered down to around 0_C (32_F). V 163
