PART 3: HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM Using the Air Conditioner Step 2: Turn the Fan Control Dial clockwise to start the fan. Continuing to turn the dial clockwise will gradually increase fan speed. In the full counterclockwise position the dial is in the OFF position. In the OFF position, the air conditioning system will be deactivated. The dial controls fan speed for the air conditioning system only and not for the heater. Step 3: Turn the Temperature Control Dial counterclockwise to the Air Conditioning Mode. Continuing to turn the dial in a counterclockwise direction (blue band on dial) will lower (colder) the air conditioning output temperature. Once the desired temperature is reached, the system will maintain it automatically. Setting the dial within the green band should give up to 10 hours of cooling (depending upon the outside heat conditions). Adjusting the dial further to the left (yellow band on dial) will lower the output temperature. The dial is not calibrated to specific temperatures, so where you position the dial to achieve the same temperature will vary depending on the current outside temperature conditions. Figure -112 i NOTE: Setting the dial in the yellow band will lower the output temperature produced by the system. Leaving the dial in this position for extended periods will cause the ice in the Storage Cooler to melt more quickly, thus reducing the amount of cooling time available for your use. When all of the ice has melted, you will lose the ability for the system to provide cold air until the Storage Cooler has been recharged. See Storage Cooler on page 35. Cooling Efficiency In order to maximize engine-off cooling many factors must be considered. The following factors all affect the system’s cooling ability: • Direct Sunlight • Vehicle Color • Ambient Temperature • Initial Compartment Temperature • Intake Air Mix • Sleeper Curtain Position • Window Coverings R(09/07) Y53-6017 – 33 –
