Description and operation
Installed
on the surge tank, the Purge Control Solenoid Valve (PCSV) controls the
passage between the canister and the intake manifold. This solenoid
valve is open when the ECM grounds the valve control line. When the
passage is open (PCSV ON), fuel vapor stored in the canister is
transferred to the intake manifold.

WARNING
Windshield heating
Do not use the
or
position
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, causing loss of
visibility. In this case, set the mode
selection knob or button to the
position and fan speed control knob
or button to the lower speed.
For maximum defrosting, set the
temperature control to the extreme
right/hot position and the fan speed
control to the highest speed.
If warm air to the floor is desired
while defrosting or defogging, set the
mode to the floor-defrost position.
Before driving, clear all snow and ice
from the windshield, rear window,
outside rear view mirrors, and all side
windows.
Clear all snow and ice from the hood
and air inlet in the cowl grill to improve
heater and defroster efficiency
and to reduce the probability of fogging
up the inside of the windshield.
