The heating, cooling, and ventilation of the vehicle can be controlled with
this system.

(Off): Turn the fan control to this position to turn the
fan off. Air still enters the vehicle and increases with vehicle speed depending on
the mode and temperature settings. Turn on the recirculation mode to stop this airflow.
Temperature Control: Turn clockwise or counterclockwise to increase
or decrease the temperature of the air in the vehicle.
(Fan Control): Turn clockwise or counterclockwise
to increase or decrease the fan speed.
Air Delivery Mode Control: Turn clockwise or counterclockwise
to change the direction of the airflow in the vehicle. The airflow can be set between
modes.
To change the current mode, select one of the following:
(Vent): Air is directed to the instrument panel outlets.
(Bi-Level): Air is directed to the instrument panel
outlets, and the remaining air to the floor outlets and the defroster and side window
outlets. Cooler air is directed to the upper outlets and warmer air to the floor outlets.
(Floor): Air is directed to the floor outlets, side
window outlets, and defroster. Recirculation is not available in this mode.
(Floor/Defog): This mode clears the windows of fog and
moisture. Air is directed to the windshield, side window, and floor outlets. The system
runs the air conditioning unless the outside temperature is near freezing or below.
Recirculation is not available in this mode.
(Defrost): This mode clears the windshield of fog
or frost more quickly. Air is directed to the windshield and side window outlets.
The system runs the air conditioning system unless the outside temperature is near
or below freezing. Recirculation is not available in this mode.
Do not
drive the vehicle until all the windows are clear.
(Air Conditioning): Press to turn the air conditioning
system on or off. An indicator light comes on when the air conditioning is turned
on. This system cools and dehumidifies the air entering the vehicle.
The air conditioning will not function if the fan is turned off. If air conditioning
is selected with fan off, the indicator light flashes three times and then turns off.
A slight change in engine performance may occur when the air conditioning compressor
shuts off and turns on again. This is normal. The system is designed to make adjustments
to help with fuel economy while still maintaining the selected temperature.
The air conditioning system removes moisture from the air, so a small amount
of water might drip under the vehicle while idling or after turning off the engine.
This is normal.
(Recirculation): Press to turn the
recirculation mode on or off. An indicator light comes on when the recirculation is
on. This mode recirculates and helps to quickly cool the air inside the vehicle. It
can be used to prevent outside air and odors from entering the vehicle.
Recirculation is available in the bi-level and vent modes. This mode cannot
be selected while in the floor, floor/defog or defrost modes. If you try to select
the recirculation mode, the indicator flashes three times indicating it is not available
in that mode. When the recirculation mode is turned on, the air conditioning turns
on automatically.
When it is hot enough outside, the recirculation mode may turn on automatically
to help improve cooling performance. The indicator light will be lit to show this
mode is active. If the recirculation button is pressed while in this mode, the light
flashes three times and stays on to indicate that recirculation may not be shut off.
Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to remove fog or frost from the
rear window when the key is in the ignition and turned to ON/RUN.
(Rear Defogger): Press to turn the rear window defogger
on or off. After the button is first pressed the rear window defogger stays on for
about 15 minutes. If turned on again, the defogger only runs for about seven and one-half
minutes.
Notice: Do not use anything sharp on the inside of the rear window. If you do, you could cut
or damage the warming grid, and the repairs would not be covered by the vehicle
warranty. Do not attach a temporary vehicle license, tape, a decal or anything similar
to the defogger grid.
