Temperature Control: Turn
clockwise or counterclockwise
to increase or decrease the
temperature. Select the desired
cabin air temperature between
60-90°F (16-32°C). Typically, the
best setting is near 75°F (23°C).
Choosing the coldest or warmest
temperature setting does not cause
the system to heat or cool any
faster.
Air Delivery Mode Control: Turn
clockwise or counterclockwise
to change the current airflow mode.
Select from the following air
delivery modes:
H (Vent): Air is directed to the
instrument panel outlets.
) (Bi-Level): Air is divided
between the instrument panel
outlets and the floor outlets.
6 (Floor): Air is directed to the
floor outlets with some air directed
to the windshield.
When this mode is selected, the
system turns the recirculation mode
off. Recirculation mode cannot be
selected while in floor mode. This is
to help prevent window fogging.
- (Defog): This mode clears
the windows of fog or moisture.
Air is directed to the floor outlets,
with some air directed to the
windshield and side window outlets.
In this mode, the system turns the
recirculation mode off and runs the
air conditioning compressor unless
the outside air is at or below freezing.
Recirculation mode cannot be
selected while in defog mode.
This helps prevent window fogging.
0 (Defrost): This mode removes
fog or frost from the windshield
more quickly. Air is directed to the
windshield and the side window
outlets. In this mode, the system
turns the recirculation mode off
automatically and runs the air
conditioning compressor unless the
outside air is at or below freezing.
Recirculation mode cannot be
selected while in defrost mode.
This helps prevent window fogging.
For best results, clear all snow and
ice from the windshield before
defrosting.
# (Air Conditioning): Press to
turn the air conditioning system on
or off. An indicator light comes on to
show that the air conditioning is on.
The air conditioning can be selected
in any mode as long as the fan is on
and the outside temperature is above
freezing. A flashing indicator light
indicates that the air conditioning
compressor is currently not available.
