to
control the
direction of airflow. To access the various modes
available, turn the mode button to the desired mode.
MAX:
This setting recirculates much of the air inside
your vehicle and sends it through the instrument panel
outlets. The air conditioning compressor will run
automatically in this setting unless the outside
temperature is below 40°F (4°C). (Even when
the
compressor is running,
you
can control the temperature.)
NORM:
This setting brings in outside air and sends
it
through
the
instrument panel outlets. The air
conditioning compressor will run automatically
in
this setting unless the outside temperature is below
40°F
(4°C).
(Even when the compressor is running,
you
can control the temperature.)
BI-LEV
This setting brings in outside air and directs
it two ways. Half
of
the air
is
directed through the
instrument panel outlets. Most of the remaining air
is
directed through the floor ducts and a little to the defrost
and side window vents. The air conditioning compressor
will
run
automatically in this setting unless the outside
temperature is below 40°F (4°C). (Even when the
compressor
is
running, you can control the temperature.)
VENT
This setting brings
in
outside air and directs it
through the instrument panel outlets.
HTR:
This setting sends most of the air through the
ducts near
the
floor. The rest comes out of
the
defroster
and side window vents.
BLEND:
This setting allows half of the air
to
go to the
floor ducts and half to the defroster and side window
vents. The air conditioning compressor will run
automatically in this setting unless the outside
temperature is below 40°F (4°C). (Even when the
compressor is running, you can control
the
temperature.)
FRONT
This setting directs most
of
the air
through the defroster and side window vents. Some
of
the air
goes
to the floor ducts and the side window vents.
