The Fan Speed Knob controls the volume of air circulated in the
vehicle. There are four fan settings: Low, Medium Low, Medium
High, and High.
[IP01756(ALL)05/95]
NOTE: The fan will not operate when the Function Selector
Knob is in them(OFF) position.
[IP01761(ALL)06/94]
The Temperature Control Knob may be adjusted from COOL air
in the blue range to WARM air in the red range.
[IP01766(ALL)06/94]
NOTE: Air temperature can be adjusted for the main climate
control system only. Air temperature from the
auxiliary heating/air conditioning system (if equipped)
cannot be adjusted. Rear passengers will receive either
FULL COOL or FULL WARM air based on the setting
of the Function Selector Knob.
[IP01771(ALL)06/94]
The Function Selector Knob controls air circulation and A/C
Compressor Operation.

The air conditioning settings include MAX A/C, A/C andS
(Panel/Floor). However, heating capabilities are also provided in
these modes. Adjust the Temperature Control Knob as necessary
to receive cool (air-conditioned) or warm (heated) air when in
these modes.
[IP01780(ALL)06/94]
NOTE: The A/C compressor will only operate when outside
air temperatures are above approximately45ÊF (7ÊC).
[IP01785(ALL)06/94]
The climate control system provides fresh outside air in all
function control settings except for MAX A/C andm(OFF).
Only recirculated interior air is available in MAX A/C.
[IP01791(ALL)04/95]
InMAX A/C, air from inside the passenger compartment is
recirculated continuously and the A/C compressor is engaged.
In this position, the system provides maximum cooling,
maximum dehumidifying, and greater fuel efficiency. It also has
a greater noise level because the sound of the air from the
blower motor is not muffled by a closed damper door as it
would be in all other functional settings.
[IP01802(ALL)04/95]
InA/C, outside air is drawn into the system and the A/C
compressor is engaged. The cooling process and the distribution
of cooled air is the same as that provided with MAX A/C.
Because outside air is drawn into the system, it will not have
the advantage of cooling already cooled air. It will have a lower
noise level because a closed damper door muffles the sound of
the air from the blower motor.
[IP01812(ALL)06/94]
InQ(PANEL), air is drawn from the outside and directed into
the passenger compartment through the instrument panel
registers. The temperature of the air can be varied by adjusting
the Temperature Control Knob. This mode is normally used as a
vent setting. The A/C compressor does not operate in this
mode, only heating capabilities are provided.

InV(DEFROST), most of the air is directed through the
defrosters and onto the windshield. A small amount is diverted
to the floor.

Heater Controls (Heater-Only Vehicles)
[IP01900(ALL)06/94]
The fan speed, temperature, and function controls are essentially
the same as the A/C controls described previously with the
exception that the control assembly has no function settings for
MAX A/C and A/C and no A/C compressor operation is
provided in any of the function settings. An illustration of the
control for a heater-only system follows.

Heat will not be available until the engine has been running for
sufficient time as indicated by the engine coolant temperature
gauge.

To heat the inside of your vehicle:
[IP01976(ALL)04/95]1.
Turn the Function Selector Knob toR(FLOOR). Outside
air is drawn in and directed into the passenger compartment
through the floor outlets. Small quantities of air are also
directed to the defrost and side window demist outlets.

temperature is less than about45ÊF (7ÊC).

Rear Climate Control System (If equipped)
[IP02332(ALL)04/95]
If your vehicle is equipped with a rear climate control system,
the rear seat occupants can select their own personal fan speed
settings.
[IP02342(ALL)05/95]
The rear seat climate control system is controlled from the main
climate control system on the instrument panel. If the rear
passenger compartment climate control knob in the front climate
control panel is set in OFF, the fan in the rear seat climate
control system will also be off. If the knob is set in any of the
fan speed positions (Medium Low, Medium High, or High), air
will be discharged from the rear seat vents at the corresponding
speed. However, when the knob is set at REAR CTRL, rear seat
passengers can control their own fan speed.
[IP02362(ALL)05/95]

Rear fan control knob
[IP02366(ALL)05/95]
The rear passenger compartment climate control panel has a Fan
Speed Knob which controls the speed (Low, Medium Low,
Medium High, or High) at which air is discharged from the
registers whenever the Rear Control Knob on the front panel
climate control panel is in REAR CTRL.
[IP02380(ALL)05/95]
Front passengers determine the temperature and location of the
airflow for rear passengers by setting the Function Selector
Knob in the front climate control panel in either a heat or A/C
mode.
