The auxiliary system is controlled exclusively by the 9-position
switch. If the control is turned to the left, cool air will be
delivered at the beltline and overhead. If the control is turned
to the right, warm air will be delivered to the floor area. The
further left or right from the OFF position the control is turned,
the higher the fan speed.
[CF05200(ALL)01/96]
The standard heating system and the heating portion of the
heating and air conditioning system are essentially identical.
There is one exception, however; the air conditioning
compressor will automatically engage when theP

aid in defogging and defrosting the inside glass when the
outside temperature is above approximately45ÊF (7ÊC).Refer to
the heating system operating instructions covered previously for

If the inside of your vehicle is very warm, you may want to
drive for a few minutes with the windows down and the air
conditioner on. This forces most of the hot, stale air out of
the vehicle and allows the air conditioner to cool the interior
more quickly.
