Fan Knob

The fan knob on the left side of the control panel adjusts the fan speed. Turn the knob clockwise or counterclockwise, to increase or decrease airflow. To turn the fan off, turn the knob to the off position.

(Off): If the fan is off, outside air will still enter the vehicle, and will be directed based on the position of the mode knob. The temperature can also be adjusted using the temperature knob.

Temperature Knob

The middle knob on the control panel lets you select the temperature of the air flowing into the passenger area. Turn the knob clockwise toward the red area for warmer air. Turn the knob counterclockwise toward the blue area for cooler air.

Mode Knob

The right knob on the control panel allows you to choose the direction of air delivery.

(Vent): This mode directs the air through the instrument panel outlets.

(Bi-Level): This mode directs air through the floor outlets as well as the instrument panel outlets. The flow can be divided between vent and floor outlets depending upon where the knob is placed between the settings.

(Floor): This mode directs most of the air through the floor outlets, and the rest of the air is divided between the windshield defroster outlets and the side window defroster outlets.

(Defog): Airflow is delivered through the floor outlets, the windshield defroster outlets, and the side window defroster outlets. The air flow can be divided between floor and defrost depending upon where the knob is placed between the settings.

(Defrost): This setting directs most air through the windshield defroster outlets, side window defroster outlets, and some through the floor outlets.
