control systems:
[IP00520(ALL)08/95]
q
Heating Only System
[IP00530(ALL)08/95]
q
Heating and Air Conditioning System

If you are not sure which system your vehicle
has, see the diagrams on the following pages.
[IP00550(ALL)08/95]
The Controls
[IP00560(ALL)08/95]
The fan speed knob controls the volume of air
circulated in the vehicle. There are four fan
settings numbered 1 (low) through 4 (high) and
on OFF position.
[IP00570(ALL)08/95]
Pushing the A/C button (in the center of the fan
speed knob) turns on the air conditioning
system, if equipped. The fan must be on for the
air conditioning compressor to operate. The
indicator light, to the left of the fan speed knob,
will glow when the A/C system is on.
[IP00580(ALL)08/95]
The temperature control lever may be adjusted
from cool air in the blue range to warm air in
the red range.

Comfort Tips
[IP00680(ALL)08/95]
q
For maximum cooling, push the A/C button
to turn on the system (if equipped) and turn
the fan knob to 4 (indicator light will glow).
Set the function selector lever to the
recirculated position (MAX A/C), and the
temperature control lever all the way to the
left in the blue (cool) range.
[IP00690(ALL)08/95]
q
If the inside of your vehicle is very warm,
drive for a few minutes with the windows
down. This forces most of the hot, stale air
out of the vehicle and helps the air
conditioning (if equipped) to cool the vehicle
faster.
[IP00700(ALL)08/95]
q
For the best ventilation, move the function
selector lever to PANEL and select the
desired temperature and fan speed.
[IP00710(ALL)08/95]
For maximum heating, set the function selector
lever to FLOOR, PANEL, PNL/FLR or
FLR/DEF, the temperature control lever all the
way to the right in the red (warm) range and
the fan speed knob to 4.

144 [IP01000(ALL)08/95]Ventilating your vehicle with outside air
[IP01010(ALL)08/95]
On mild days, you may want to ventilate your
vehicle with outside air. To open the vents:
[IP01020(ALL)08/95]
1. Move the function selector lever to PANEL.
[IP01030(ALL)08/95]
2. Move the temperature control lever to the
blue (cool) area or to the desired
temperature.
[IP01040(ALL)08/95]
3. Set the fan at the desired speed.
[IP01050(ALL)08/95]
Bi-level operation:
[IP01060(ALL)08/95]
1. Move the function selector lever to the
PNL/FLR position.
[IP01070(ALL)08/95]
2. Move the temperature control lever to the
desired temperature.
[IP01080(ALL)08/95]
NOTE: The temperature of the air coming
from the panel vents will be cooler
than the temperature of the air coming
from the floor vents. The difference in
temperatures can be controlled by
adjusting the temperature control lever.
The maximum difference in
temperatures will occur when the
temperature control lever is in the
center range (between the red [warm]
and blue [cool] positions). This feature
is especially useful on cool yet sunny
days, when the vehicle is warmed by
the sun yet you desire warmer air at
your feet.

Tips for Controlling the Temperature in
Your Vehicle
[IP06100(ALL)09/93]
q
To adjust the temperature inside your vehicle,
use the temperature control lever. Move the
control between red (warm) and blue (cool)
for comfort.
[IP06150(ALL)06/94]
q
Do not drive with the air inlet selector lever
in the ªrecirculateº position (MAX A/C on
heating and air conditioning systems or
RECIRC on heating only systems). Driving
with the climate control system in this mode
may cause severe window fogging.
*
[IP06700(ALL)12/03]
q
Remove any snow, ice, or leaves from the
area below the windshield on the outside of
your vehicle. They could block the air intake.
[IP06725(ALL)06/94]
one third page art:0070170-B[IP06750(ALL)06/94]
q
Under normal conditions, the system should
be left in PANEL, PNL/FLR, FLOOR,
FLR/DEF, or the defrost position. This allows
the vehicle to ªbreatheº through the air vents.
[IP06775(ALL)06/94]
q
To prevent fogging of the windshield in cool
and humid weather, set the function selector
lever to the defrost position before starting
the engine.

[IP07460(ALL)06/93]
To defrost the windshield and side
windows:
[IP07480(ALL)08/95]
1. Move the function selector lever to theV
(defrost) symbol.
[IP07490(ALL)06/95]
When the defrost symbol is selected, most of
the air is directed to the windshield and a
small amount is directed toward the side
windows. The defrost mode also helps defog
interior window surfaces.
[IP07535(ALL)08/95]
2. Move the temperature control lever to the
red (warm) area or to the desired
temperature.
[IP07542(ALL)06/94]

A/C position.
[IP07720(ALL)06/94]
When the function selector lever is in the
MAX A/C position, cooled interior air is
recirculated through the system. This
position is more economical than continually
cooling outside air.

[IP09300(ALL)07/93]
Cooling your vehicle with outside air
[IP09350(ALL)06/94]
Use any function selector lever position except
for MAX A/C to cool your vehicle with outside
air. Cooling your vehicle in this way brings in
outside air and is quieter but less economical
than using recirculated air.
*
[IP09750(ALL)07/93]
To cool your vehicle using outside air:
[IP09800(ALL)08/95]
1. Press the A/C button.
