This section tells you how to make your air system work
for
you. The optional climate control system with air
conditioning
uses ozone-friendly R- 134a refrigerant.
With these systems,
you can control the ventilation
and heating in your vehicle. Your vehicle also has the
flow-through ventilation system described later in
this section.
Standard Climate Control System
The left knob selects the force of air you want. Turn the
knob to the right to increase fan speed
and to the left to
decrease fan speed.
To turn the fan off, turn the mode
knob all the way
to the left to OFF. In any other setting,
the fan will run continuously.
Temperature Knob
The center knob changes the temperature of the air
coming through the system. Turn this knob toward red (to the right) for warmer air. Turn it toward blue (to the
left) for cooler air.
Mode Knob
The right knob has several settings to control the
direction of airflow. For each setting, set the temperature
to
a comfortable setting.
# VENT This setting brings in outside air and
directs it through the middle instrument panel outlets.
+’ BI-LEVEL: This setting brings in outside air and
directs
it two ways. Some air is directed through the
instrument panel outlets. Most of the air is directed
through the floor ducts and a little to
the defrost and side
window vents.

go to the floor ducts and half to the defroster and side
window vents.

DEFROST: This setting directs most of the air
through the defroster and side window vents. Some

DEFROST: This setting directs most of the air
through the defroster and side window vents. Some
of
the air goes to the floor ducts. The air conditioning
compressor will run automatically in
this setting when it
is needed to help dry the air in the vehicle.
Air Conditioning Compressor Button
Press the NC button to operate the air conditioner
compressor. The indicator light above the button will glow
when the air conditioning compressor is running.
You don’t have to press the button to run the compressor
in MAX or DEFROST.
Air Conditioning (If Equipped)
On very hot days, open the windows long enough
to let hot, inside air escape. This reduces the time it
takes for your vehicle to cool down, which should help
fuel economy.
For quick cool-down on very hot days, use
MAX with
the temperature knob all the way in the blue area. If this
setting is used for long periods of time, the air in your
vehicle may become too dry.
For normal cooling on hot days, use VENT with the
temperature knob
in the blue area and the A/C button
pushed in. The system will bring in outside air and
cool it.
On cool, but sunny days, the sun may warm your upper
body, but your lower body may not be warm enough.
You can use BI-LEVEL with the temperature knob in
the middle and the
NC button pushed in. The system
will bring in outside air and direct slightly warmer air to
your lower body. You may notice this temperature
difference more at
some times than others.
