Operational Air Conditioner and Heater
[IP01770( E )05/94]
The control for your Air Conditioning and
Heater system is located at the center of the
instrument panel and will operate only when the
ignition key is turned to the RUN position. Your
Air Conditioner & Heater will heat and/or cool
your vehicle interior depending on the Function
lever position and temperature you select. The
bottom lever is the Function Selector lever which
allows you to select heating or cooling and
determine where the air will be directed. The
top lever is the Temperature lever. The setting
or position of the top lever determines the
temperature of the air that flows into the
vehicle.
