Standard Heater
[CF00390(ALL)01/96]
The control for your heater system is located
near the center of the instrument panel and
operates only when the ignition key is turned to
the ON position. The heater heats and/or
ventilates your vehicle interior depending on the
function and temperature you select. The right
knob is the SELECT knob which allows you to
select heating or ventilation and determine
where the air will be directed. The TEMP knob
setting determines the temperature of the air
that flows into the vehicle.
