warmer air. Turn the knob counterclockwise for cooler air.
The lower knob selects the heater
or air conditioning function and
determines which outlets the air will flow through (instrument panel,
defroster, heater, etc
.).
OFF - This setting turns off all heating functions. Some outside air will
still come
out of the heater outlet whenever the vehicle is moving forward.
MAX A/C - Air inside your vehicle is recirculated to maximize your air
conditioner’s performance and your vehicle’s fuel economy. This setting
cools the air the fastest and should be used to keep “unwanted odors” and/or
dust from entering the vehicle.
NORM A/C - This setting cools outside air and directs it through the
instrument panel vents. This setting is useful for normal cooling on hot
days.
BI-LEV A/C
- Air is delivered through the heater floor vents as well as
the instrument panel vents. This setting is useful in cool weather with bright
sunlight.
VENT
- Airflow is through the instrument panel vents. Set the upper knob
to the temperature desired. This setting
is useful for mild outside
temperatures, when little heating or cooling is desired. The air conditioner
does not run.
HEAT
- Heated air comes out through the heater floor vents and
windshield defroster vents. This setting is useful for cold weather.
BLEND
- Airflow is divided equally between the heater floor vent and the
windshield defroster vents. This setting is useful in cool weather when you
have fog or ice on the windshield or side windows.
DEF - This setting directs most air through the windshield defroster vents
and some through the heater vents. This setting is useful when you have fog
or ice on the windshield.
Engine Coolant Heater (Option)
If you use the optional engine coolant heater before starting your engine,
your heating system will produce warmer air faster, to heat the passenger
compartment in cold weather. See “Engine Coolant Heater” in the Index.

You can move the vents to direct the
flow of air, or close the vents
altogether. When you close a vent, it will increase the flow of air coming out
of any vents that are open.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine What should you do if this ever happens? Ease up on the accelerator pedal,
steer the vehicle the way
you want it to go, and slow down.
Speed limit signs near curves warn that
you should adjust your speed. Of
course, the posted speeds
are based on good weather and road conditions.
Under less favorable conditions you’ll want
to go slower.
If you need
to reduce your speed as you approach a curve, do it before you
enter the curve, while your front wheels are straight ahead.
Try
to adjust your speed so you can “drive” through the curve. Maintain a
reasonable, steady speed. Wait to accelerate
until you are out of the curve,
and then accelerate gently into the straightaway.
Steering in Emergencies
There are times when steering can be more effective than braking. For
example,
you come over a hill and find a truck stopped in your lane, or a car
suddenly pulls out from nowhere, or
a child darts out from between parked
cars and stops right in front
of you. You can avoid these problems by
braking
- if you can stop in time. But sometimes you can’t; there isn’t
room. That’s the time for evasive action
- steering around the problem.
Your vehicle can perform very well
in emergencies like these. First apply
your brakes. (See “Braking in Emergencies’’ earlier in \
this section.) It is better
to remove as much speed as you can from a possible collision. Then steer
around the problem, to the left or right depending
on the space available.
An emergency like this requires close attention and a quick de\
cision.
If you
are holding the steering wheel at the recommended 9 and 3 o’clock
positions, you
can turn it a full 1 SO degrees very quickly without removing
either hand. But you have to act fast, steer quickly, and just
as quickly
straighten the wheel once
you have avoided the object.
The fact that such emergency situations are always possible is
a good reason
to practice defensive driving at all times and wear safety belts \
properly.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 0 As you are backing down the hill, put your left hand on the steering\
wheel at the
12 o’clock position. This way, you’ll be able to tell if your
wheels are straight and maneuver as you back down. It’s best that
you
back down the hill with your wheels straight rather than in the left or
right direction. Turning the wheel too far to the left or right will
increase the possibility of
a rollover.
Here are some things you
must not do if you stall, or are about to stall,
when going up a hill.
Never attempt to prevent a stall by shifting into NEUTRAL (N) (or
depressing the clutch, if you have a manual transmission) to “rev-up”
the engine and regain forward momentum. This won’t work. Your
vehicle will roll backwards very quickly and you could
go out of
control.
Instead, apply the regular brake to stop the vehicle. Then app\
ly the parking
brake. Shift into reverse, release the parking brake, and slowl\
y back straight down.
Never attempt to turn around if you are about to stall when going up a
hill.
If the hill is steep enough to stall your vehicle, it’s steep enou\
gh to
cause you to roll over
if you turn around. If you can’t make it up the
hill, you must back straight down the hill.
Q: Suppose, after stalling, I try to back down the hill and decide I just
can’t do it. What should
I do?
A: Set the parking brake, put your transmission in PARK (P) (or the
manual transmission in first gear), and
turn off the engine. Leave the
vehicle
and go get some help. Exit on the uphill side and stay clear of
the path the vehicle would take if it rolled downhill. Do not shift the
transfer case to NEUTRAL
(N) when you leave the vehicle. Leave it in
some gear.
