PASS (Passenger’s Side Temperature): The knob on
the right is used to change the temperature of the air
coming through the system on the passenger’s side of
the vehicle. Push this knob to turn the system on and off.
Turn the knob toward the blue area to decrease the set
temperature. Turn the knob toward the red area to
increase the set temperature. When this knob is
adjusted, only the word PASS will be displayed
under the set temperature.

you to manually adjust the fan speed. Press the HIGH
side to increase fan speed and the LOW side to decrease
fan speed.
MODE: Press this button repeatedly to cycle through
the choices on the display to select the air delivery mode
of airflow into the vehicle. The system will stay in the
selected mode until MODE is pressed again or until the
AUTO button is pressed.

the floor ducts.
DEFOG: This setting directs most of the airflow to
the floor ducts and the windshield outlets.
BI
-LEVEL: This setting directs airflow through
both the instrument panel outlets and the floor ducts.
This mode will deliver slightly warmer air through
the floor ducts.
PANEL: This setting directs airflow through the
instrument panel outlets.
Whenever MODE is pressed, the display will show the
current system settings for five seconds before returning
the display to the exterior temperature.
FRONT (Defrost): This setting directs most
of the airflow to the windshield with some airflow to the
side window outlets and floor ducts.
To improve windshield clearing performance when you
select FRONT defrost, the air conditioning compressor
will run automatically when outside temperatures are
above approximately 40 F (4 C). This dehumidifies
the air to help dry the windshield. Even though the
compressor may be running, the A/C light will not
come on in FRONT defrost unless you select A/C.
OUTSIDE AIR: Press this button to send
outside air through the system.
