VENT Use when outside temperatures
are mild and little heating or cooling is
needed. Air flow is through the
instrument panel outlets. Set the lower
lever to the temperature desired.
B/L (Bi-Level): Use on cool, but SUMY
days. This setting brings in the outside
air, but directs it in
two ways. The cool
air is directed to the upper portion of your
body through the instrument panel outlets,
but slightly warmer air is directed through
the heater ducts and defroster vents. At
times, this temperature difference may
be more apparent than others.
HTR (Heater): This setting brings
heated air through the heater ducts, and
some through the windshield defroster
vents.
If you have the optional engine block
heater and use it during cold weather,
0°F (-18°C) or lower, your heating
system will more quickly provide heat
because the engine coolant is already
warmed. See the
Index under Engine
Block Heater.
BLEND: This setting divides the air
flow equally between the heater ducts
and the windshield defroster vents.
DEF (Defrost): This setting directs
most air through the windshield
defroster vents, and some through the
heater ducts.

the windows, set the upper lever to

turn it off and get everyone away
from the vehicle until it cools down.
Wait until there is no sign

engine if it overheats, and get out
of the vehicle until the engine is
cool.

be too serious. Sometimes
the engine
can get a little too hot when you:
Climb a long hill on a hot day.
Stop after high speed driving.
Idle for long periods in traffic.
