Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine To regulate the airflow location, adjust the center knob
on the control panel. Turn the knob clockwise for floor
vent airflow or counterclockwise for headliner vent
airflow. Generally, the upper vents are used for air
conditioning and the floor vents for heating. The control
knob can
be set to any blend setting.
To adjust the aifflow speed, turn the fan control knob
on the left side of the control panel to the desired
blower setting.
To activate the rear control, move the fan knob on the
front control
to REAR CNTL.
Air Conditioning
On hot days, open the windows long enough to let hot
air inside escape. This reduces the time it takes for your
vehicle to cool down. Then keep your windows closed
for the air conditioner to work its best.
The recirculation button, between the fan and temperature
knobs, allows the air inside your vehicle to be
recirculated. This setting helps to maximize your air
conditioner’s performance and your vehicle’s fuel
economy. This setting also cools the air the fastest and
can be used to keep unwanted odors and/or dust from
entering the vehicle. When using the air conditioner, turn
off recirculation after the vehicle reaches a comfortable
interior temperature. When the right knob on the control
panel is between HEATER and DEFROST, the
recirculation feature will not function.
The A/C button, between the temperature and mode
knobs, allows the air coming into your vehicle to be
cooled. This setting is useful for normal cooling on hot
days. When
you use A/C with the recirculation button
pushed in, turn off recirculation as soon as the vehicle
reaches a comfortable interior temperature.
The
rear control works just like the front control. It will
allow second seat passengers to adjust the controls as
they desire.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine With the A/C on, move the temperature knob to MAX
for maximum cooling. This setting also puts the system
in the recirculation mode and helps to maximize your air
conditioner’s performance and your vehicle’s fuel
economy. This setting also cools the air the fastest. After
the vehicle’s interior reaches a comfortable temperature,
move the temperature knob clockwise to place the air
conditioning system in the normal mode.
The heater works best if you keep your windows closed
while using it. On cold days, use the HEATER or
VENT/HEAT setting with the temperature knob in the
red area.
If you use the engine coolant heater before starting your
engine (in cold weather (20°F (-8OC) or lower), your
heating system will produce warmer air faster, to heat
the passenger compartment in cold weather.
The use of an engine coolant heater also reduces the
time it takes for the engine to reach normal operating
temperature, and shortens the time it takes the heater to
reach full output. For more information, see “Engine
Coolant Heater” in the Index. Ventilation System
For mild outside temperature when little heating or
cooling is needed, use VENT to direct outside air
through your vehicle. Air will flow through the
instrument panel outlets.
Your vehicle’s ventilation system supplies outside
air to the inside
of your vehicle when it is moving.
With the side windows closed, air will flow into the
front air inlet grilles, through the vehicle, and out the
air exhaust valves.
Outside air will also enter the vehicle when the heater or
the air conditioning fan is running, unless you have the
recirculation button pushed in. For more information
on
the recirculation button, see “Air Conditioning” earlier
in this section.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Your vehicle has air outlets in the center and on the sides
of your instrument panel. You can move the outlets from
side to side or up and down to direct the flow
of air, or
close the outlets altogether. When you close an outlet, it
will increase the flow
of air coming out of any outlets
that
are open. These outlets do not completely shut off
airflow when in a closed vent position.

Ventilation Tips
Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow or
any other obstruction (such as leaves). The heater
and defroster will work far better, reducing the
chance
of fogging the inside of your windows.
When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, turn the
blower fan to HI for a few moments before driving.
This helps clear the intake ducts of snow and
moisture, and reduces the chance
of fogging the
inside of your windows.
Keep the air path under the front seats clear of
objects. This helps ,air to circulate throughout
your vehicle.
efogging and Defrosting
D
On cool, humid days, use DEFOG to keep the
windshield and side windows clear. Use DEFROST to
remove fog or ice from the windshield in extremely
humid or cold conditions. Use DEFROST with the
temperature knob toward the red area and the fan control
toward HI.

If you see lines running across the rear window,
you have the rear window defogger. The lines warm
the glass. Do
not attach a temporary vehicle license, tape or decals
across the defogger grid on the rear window.
NOTICE:
To turn on the rear window
defogger, press this button
next to the fan control knob.
The rear window defogger
will only work if the
ignition switch is turned
to
RUN. For best results,
first clear the window
of as much snow or ice
as possible.
The defogger will shut itself off after several minutes. If
you need additional warming time, press the button
again. You can turn the defogger
off at any time by
pressing the button.
~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~
Don’t use a razor blade or something else sharp
on the inside
of the rear window. If you do, you
could cut or damage the warming grid, and the
repairs wouldn’t be covered by your warranty.
