Before using your vehicle’s air conditioning, open the windows
to
clear the
vehicle of
hot

The knob on the left side of the heating system control panel controls the
fan speed. The knob has four speed positions. To increase the air flow, move
the knob toward HI.
To

LO.
To
turn
the fan off, move the knob to
OFF.

you
have
the
air conditioner
on,
moving the fan knob
to

also turns off the A/C compressor.
The middle knob
on
the control panel lets you select the relative
temperature
of
the air flowing
into
the
passenger area of your vehicle. This
knob will allow
you
to adjust the relative air temperature independently of
the
function knob setting. Move
the
knob right toward the red area for
warmer air. Move the knob left toward the blue area for cooler air.
With
A/C
on,
move the knob to MAX for maximum cooling. This setting
puts the system in the recirculation mode and helps to maximize your air
conditioner’s performance and your vehicle’s fuel economy. This setting
also cools the air
the

comfortable temperature, move
the
knob clockwise to place the air
conditioning system
in
the normal mode.
The right knob on the control panel changes the heatedair conditioning
