for the first few minutes with the windows open
to force the hot, stale air out of the vehicle.
[CF05400( GV)12/95]
Fan speed can be reduced, after a comfortable

to control the quantity and direction of air being
discharged. The thumbwheel controls the volume
of air and the knob in the center of the register
