NOTE:
Any cleaner or polish that increases the
gloss (shine) of the upper part of the
instrument panel should be avoided.
The dull finish in this area is to help
protect the driver from undesirable
windshield reflection.
The Climate Control Systems
Your vehicle is equipped with a control
assembly designed to handle either a
combination A/C-Heater System or a
Heater-Only System.
If your vehicle has a factory installed auxiliary
system, the front control will be equipped with a
rear fan control switch. If it is a factory installed
auxiliary system with rear A/C and/or rear
heater functions, an auxiliary fan speed control
switch is installed in the rear of the vehicle.
Instrument Panel Registers
There are four registers in the instrument panel.
Each of these registers contains a louver
assembly which can be manually adjusted to
direct airflow up, down, left and right. An
illustration of the register locations follows.

Air Conditioner and Heater (If equipped)
The control for your air conditioner and heater
system is located near the center of the
instrument panel and operates only when the
ignition key is turned to the ON position. Your
air conditioner and heater heats or cools your
vehicle interior depending on the function and
the temperature you select. The right knob is the
SELECT knob which allows you to select heating
or cooling and determine where the air will be
directed. The TEMP knob setting determines the
temperature of the air that flows into the
vehicle.
Climate control knobs
To turn your air conditioner and heater system
on, rotate the SELECT knob to any position
except OFF. This will turn the fan on and allows
airflow into the vehicle.
Temperature selection
The TEMP knob is the rotating knob located at
the center of the control with tapered red and
blue bands surrounding most of the knob. The
wide red part of the band (full right) is the heat
area. The wide blue area (full left) is the cooling
temperature area. Any position selected between
full right and full left will give a temperature
between the two extremes except in MAX A/C.
63
Fan speed adjustment
The left knob or upper left knob with the
x
is
the fan speed knob. Rotate the
x
knob to the
right to increase fan speed and increase the
amount of air entering the vehicle. Four fan
speed positions are available.
Function selection
Use VENT to bring outside air through the
instrument panel registers. You can heat the air
in this position by rotating the center knob into
the red area. The air cannot be cooled below the
outside temperature regardless of the TEMP
knob setting.
Select NORM A/C to get refrigerated outside air
through the instrument panel registers. The
NORM A/C position is used for cooling except
when it is extremely hot or fast cooling of the
vehicle is needed. Select MAX A/C for fast
cooling and return to NORM A/C when you are
comfortable.
The MAX A/C position rapidly produces cool
air to provide faster cooling of your vehicle. This
is possible because cooler air is drawn from
inside the passenger area and cooled again
instead of using warmer outside air. Use of
inside air makes the fan sound louder and is
normal when using MAX A/C. You cannot
adjust the air temperature when operating in
MAX A/C. If the airflow is too cold, select
NORM A/C and adjust the air temperature as
desired.
Airflow will be to the floor when FLR is
selected. The air cannot be cooled in the FLR
position but can be heated by rotating the TEMP
knob into the red area.
64
Select MIX to direct air to the floor and
windshield defrosters at the same time. If the
outside temperature is about 50˚F (9˚C) or
warmer, the air will also be dehumidified to
remove moisture. This feature will help prevent
fogging in humid weather. The air can be cooled
or heated.
Select
V
to obtain maximum airflow to the
windshield. Rotate the TEMP knob into the red
area for the air temperature required to defrost.
When the outside temperature is about 50˚F
(9˚C) or warmer, the air will be dehumidified to
remove moisture. Rotate the
x
knob on the left
to increase the airflow.
Operating Tips
The following tips help you get the most
satisfaction from your air conditioner and heater
system:
❑
In humid weather, select
V
before starting
your engine. This helps prevent windshield
fogging. After a few minutes of operation,
you may select another airflow position.
❑
To prevent humidity buildup inside your
vehicle, always drive with the air conditioner
and heater system turned on.
❑
Do not put objects under the front seats that
interfere with the flow of air to the back seat
area.
❑
Remove any snow, ice, or leaves from the air
intake area at the bottom of the windshield.
❑
For maximum heating, rotate the function
selector knob to FLR, the temperature control
knob to the red (warm) range, and the fan
knob to HI.
