If you push the WINDSHIELD button once again, it returns to the last air flow button used. Do not use the WINDSHIELD button during cooling operation in extremely humid weather. The difference between the temperature of the outside air and that of the windshield could cause the outer surface of the windshield to fog up blocking your vision. If manual fan speed control is desired- The fan speed can be fixed at your desired speed by turning to the appropriate position of the fan speed control knob. The higher the fan speed is, the more air is delivered. (B) WINDSHIELD DEFOGGING AND DEFROSTING See "(A) CLIMATE CONTROL" for details on each button or lever function.

(C) OPERATING TIPS S Be sure the air inlet grilles in front of the windshield are not blocked by leaves or other obstructions. S If air flow control is not satisfactory, check the dashboard vents. (See "Dashboard vents" or "Lower vent".) S To help cool down the interior after parking in the hot sun, drive for the first few minutes with the windows open. After the excess heat has blown away, close the windows. S When driving on dusty roads, close all windows. If dust thrown up by the vehicle is still drawn into the vehicle after closing the windows, it is recommended that the air intake control button be set in the OUTSIDE AIR mode. S If following another vehicle on a dusty road, or driving in windy and dusty conditions, it is recommended that the air intake control button be temporarily set to select the RECIRCULATED AIR mode, which will close off the outside passage and prevent outside air and dust from entering the vehicle interior. 100
