Description

A/C Button

Push and release to change the current setting, the indicator illuminates when A/C is on.

Performing this function again will cause the A/C operation to switch into manual mode

and the A/C indicator will turn off.

MAX A/C

For maximum cooling, use the A/C and recirculation modes at the same time.

ECONOMY MODE

If economy mode is desired, press the A/C switch to turn off the A/C compressor. Then,

rotate the temperature control to the desired temperature.

Recirculation And Out Side Air Knob

Slide this knob over to one of the two settings to change the system between recirculation

mode and outside air mode. Recirculation can be used when outside conditions such as

smoke, odors, dust, or high humidity are present.

NOTE:

Continuous use of the Recirculation mode may make the inside air stuffy and window

fogging may occur. Extended use of this mode is not recommended.

The use of the Recirculation mode in cold or damp weather could cause windows to fog

on the inside, because of moisture buildup inside the vehicle. Select the outside air posi-

tion for maximum defogging.

Recirculation can be used in all modes except for Defrost.

The A/C can be deselected manually without disturbing the mode control selection.

Demist/Defrost Button

Push and release the Demist/Defrost button to turn on the outside mirror defroster. An

indicator will illuminate when the outside mirror defroster is on. The outside mirror de-

froster automatically turns off after 20 minutes.

Temperature Control Knob

Temperature control is used to regulate the temperature of the air forced through the cli-

mate system. The temperature can be selected using the temperature control knob on the

faceplate. The temperature increases as you turn the temperature control knob clockwise.

The temperature decreases as you turn the temperature control knob counterclockwise.

Blower Control Knob

Blower control is used to regulate the amount of air forced through the climate system. The

speeds can be selected by rotating the blower control knob on the faceplate clockwise, or

counterclockwise. The larger the number of the setting, the faster the blower speed.

Mode Control Knob

Mode control is used to regulate the mode airflow is distributed into the cabin. The airflow

distribution mode can be adjusted so air comes from the instrument panel outlets, floor

outlets, defrost outlets and demist outlets.

Panel Mode

Panel Mode

Air comes from the outlets in the instrument panel. Each of these outlets can be individu-

ally adjusted to direct the flow of air. The air vanes of the center outlets and outboard out-

lets can be moved up and down or side to side to regulate airflow direction.

Bi-Level Mode

Bi-Level Mode

Air comes from the instrument panel outlets and floor outlets. A slight amount of air is

directed through the defrost and side window demister outlets.

NOTE:

Bi-Level mode is designed under comfort conditions to provide cooler air out of the panel

outlets and warmer air from the floor outlets.

Floor Mode

Floor Mode

Air comes from the floor outlets. A slight amount of air is directed through the defrost and

side window demister outlets.

Mix Mode

Mix Mode

Air is directed through the floor, defrost, and side window demister outlets. This setting

works best in cold or snowy conditions that require extra heat to the windshield. This set-

ting is good for maintaining comfort while reducing moisture on the windshield.

Front Defrost Mode

Air comes from the windshield and side window demist outlets. When the defrost mode is

selected, the blower level will increase. Use Defrost mode with maximum temperature set-

tings for best windshield and side window defrosting and defogging.

midifies the air. Adjust the controls as described previ-

ously and switch on the climate control system by

pressing the A/C button.

In the event of considerable external moisture and/or

rain and/or large differences in temperature inside and

outside the passenger compartment, perform the fol-
