Heater Controls (Heater-Only Vehicles)
[CF02950(R)01/96]
The control for your heater system is located at the center of the
instrument panel below the radio. The heater will operate only
when the ignition key is turned to the ON position. Your heater
will heat and/or ventilate your vehicle interior depending on
the function position and temperature you select. The function
selector control knob allows you to select heating or ventilation
and determine where the air will be directed. The temperature
control knob setting determines the temperature of the air that
flows into the vehicle.

Cleaning the Exterior Lamps
*
[MC50510(R)01/96]
Do not use dry paper towel, chemical solvents or abrasive
cleaners to clean the lamps, as these may cause scratches or
crack the lamps.
*
[MC51000(R)01/96]
Cleaning the Engine
*
[MC51020(R)01/96]
A clean engine is more efficient because a buildup of grease and
dirt acts as an insulator, keeping the engine warmer than usual.
*
[MC51030(R)01/96]
n
Extreme care must be used if a power washer is used to
clean the engine. The high pressure fluid could penetrate
sealed parts and assemblies causing damage or malfunctions.
*
[MC51040(R)04/96]
n
In order to avoid possible cracking of the engine block or
fuel injection pump, do not spray a hot engine or injection
pump with cold water.
[MC51050(R)01/96]
n
The alternator, coils and air intake must be covered.
Covering these components will help prevent water damage.
*
[MC51060(R)01/96]
n
Never wash or rinse the engine while it is running. Water
getting into the engine may cause internal damage.

adversely affected by a particular cleaner, do not use
it.
