To Cool (With Optional Air Conditioner) - Honda 1991 Civic Reference Owner's Manual

To Cool (with optional air conditioner)

To cool the car down quickly, slide the recirculation lever to the
position, start the engine, turn the temperature control dial
counterclockwise all the way, switch the fan to high ( 4 ), push the
A/C button in, and open the window briefly.
Then close the windows and corner vents, slide the function lever
to the position and the recirculation lever to the
sition so inside air will recirculate to the air conditioner for maximum
cooling.
When the interior has cooled sufficiently, switch the fan to the
desired speed, then slide the recirculation lever to
fresh (outside) air to the air conditioner.
When using the air conditioner in heavy traffic, or while driving up
long hills, watch the coolant temperature gauge: if the needle moves
near the " H " end of the scale, turn the air conditioner off by
pushing the A/C button; leave it off until the needle goes back into
the middle of the scale.
