With this system you can control the heating, cooling and ventilation for your
vehicle.
Turn the right knob clockwise or counterclockwise to direct the airflow inside
of your vehicle.
To change the current mode, select one of the following:
(Bi-Level): This mode directs approximately half
of the air to the instrument panel outlets and directs most of the remaining air to
the floor outlets. Some air may be directed toward the windshield.
(Vent): This mode directs air to the instrument panel
outlets.
(Floor): This mode directs most of the air to the floor
outlets with some air directed to the outboard outlets (for the side windows) and
some air directed to the windshield.
A/C (Air Conditioning): This setting brings in outside air,
cools and dehumidifies it.
MAX A/C (Maximum Air Conditioning): This setting cools the
air the fastest, by recirculating the inside air.
The right knob can also be used to select the defrost mode. Information on defogging
and defrosting can be found later in this section.
(Fan): Turn the left knob clockwise or counterclockwise
to increase or decrease the fan speed.
Temperature Control: Turn the center knob clockwise or counterclockwise
to increase or decrease the temperature inside your vehicle.
Defogging and Defrosting
Turn the right knob to select the defog or defrost mode.
(Blend): With this setting, the outside air comes out
of both the floor and defroster outlets. Adjust the temperature knob for warmer or
cooler air. The air conditioning compressor may operate in this setting to dehumidfy
the air.
(Defrost): This setting operates the defroster. Most
of the air comes out near the windshield, with some going to the floor outlets and
front side windows. The air conditioning compressor may operate in this setting to
dehumidify the air.
The bi-level setting is useful for cold weather with a large number
of passengers or very humid conditions to help keep the windshield clear. Use defrost
to remove fog or ice from the windshield quickly in extremely cold conditions. The
temperature knob should be in the red area and the fan control toward high.
