To turn your heater system on, select any position except OFF.
This will turn the fan on and allow air flow into the vehicle. To
turn your heater off, select OFF. This will turn the fan off and
stop air flow from coming into the vehicle.
[IP01325(ALL)05/94]
Your vehicle also has small demister openings on each front
door near the window. This allows a small amount of air flow
to be directed onto the door glass to reduce fogging whenever
the heater system is operating.
[IP01375(ALL)03/95]
The temperature control knob is located at the right side of the
control with a broken RED and BLUE band around the top and
sides of the knob. The all RED part of the band (full right) is
the heat or warmer area. The all BLUE area (full left) is the cool
or unheated temperature area. Any position selected between
full right and full left will give a temperature between the two
extreme temperatures. The cool temperature you select will not
be cooler than the outside temperature if your vehicle is not
equipped with an air conditioner.
