Temperature Knob
The center knob changes the temperature of the air
coming through the system. Turn this knob toward
red (clockwise) for warmer air. Turn it toward blue
(counterclockwise) for cooler air.
Mode Knob
The right knob has several settings to control the
direction of airflow. For each setting, set the temperature
to a comfortable setting.
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 when it is needed to help
dry the air in the vehicle.
VENT: This setting brings in outside air and
directs it through the instrument panel outlets.
BI-LEVEL: This setting brings in outside air
and directs it two ways. Some air is directed through
the instrument panel outlets. Most of the air is directed
through the floor ducts and a little to the defrost and
side window vents.
FLOOR: This setting sends most of the air
through the ducts near the floor. The rest comes out of
the defroster and side window vents.
DEFOG: This setting allows half of the air to
go to the floor ducts and half to the defroster and side
window vents.
DEFROST: This setting directs most of the air
through the defroster and side window vents. Some
of the air goes to the floor ducts. The air conditioning
compressor will run automatically in this setting when
it is needed to help dry the air in the vehicle.
Air Conditioning Compressor Button
Press the A/C button to operate the air conditioner
compressor. The indicator light above the button will
glow when the compressor is running. You don’t have
to press the button to run the compressor in MAX
or DEFROST.
