The heating, cooling, and ventilation for the vehicle can be controlled with
this system.
Temperature Control
Fan Control
Air Delivery Mode Control
Air Conditioning
Recirculation
Temperature Control: Turn the knob clockwise or counterclockwise
to increase or decrease the temperature of the air inside the vehicle.
(Fan Control): Turn the knob clockwise or counterclockwise
to increase or decrease the fan speed.
If the knob is set on "0"
(zero), some outside air will still enter the vehicle and will be directed according
to the position of the mode knob.
Air Delivery Mode Control: Turn the knob clockwise or counterclockwise
to change the current airflow mode.
Select from the following modes:
(Vent): Air is directed to the instrument panel outlets.
(Bi-Level): Air is divided between the instrument
panel outlets and floor 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. Recirculation
cannot be selected while in floor mode because this could cause the interior window
to fog.
(Floor/Defog): This mode clears the windows of fog or
moisture. Air is directed to the floor, windshield, and side window outlets. When
this mode is selected, the system runs the air conditioning compressor 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.
When this mode is selected, the system runs the air conditioning compressor 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 on the button comes on to show that the air conditioning
is on.
The fan control must be on to use the air conditioning.
There might be a slight change in engine performance 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 on the button comes on to show that the recirculation
mode 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.
The recirculation mode cannot be used with floor/defog, defrost, or defogging
modes. If recirculation is selected in these modes, the indicator will flash or not
come on.
