Comfort Controls
With this system, you can control the heating and
ventilation in your vehicle. Your vehicle's air
conditioning can also control cooling.
Your vehicle also has the flow
-through ventilation
system described later in this section.
Climate Control System
Airflow Lever
VENT: This position directs the airflow through
the instrument panel vents.
BI-LEVEL: This position directs air through the
instrument panel vents and toward the floor.
FLOOR: This position directs air toward the floor.
DEFOG: This position directs air toward the
floor, the windshield and side windows. The air also
comes from both vents at the ends of the instrument
panel if the thumbwheel below them is in the open
position. The air conditioning compressor will run
automatically in this setting without turning on the
A/C button light.
DEFROST: This position directs air to the
windshield and side windows. The air also comes from
both vents at the ends of the instrument panel if the
thumbwheel below them is in the open position. The air
conditioning compressor will run automatically in this
setting without turning on the A/C button light. For
maximum defrosting, adjust the temperature control
lever to the hot end and adjust the side outlets so the air
blows on the side window.

For normal cooling, push the A/C button and move the
air intake lever to OUTSIDE AIR. For faster cooling,
move the lever to RECIRCULATE. Then move the
airflow lever to VENT, the temperature lever toward the
left and the fan lever toward the fan symbol.
On days when it is raining or the humidity is high,
follow these dehumidifying steps to help clean windows
that are cloudy with moisture. Move the air intake lever
to OUTSIDE AIR. Move the airflow lever to DEFROST
and the fan lever toward the fan symbol. Adjust the
temperature lever to a comfortable setting. The air
conditioning compressor will run automatically and the
A/C button will illuminate when the air flow lever is in
DEFOG or DEFROST.
Heating
For the quickest results, move the air intake lever to
RECIRCULATE. Move the airflow lever to FLOOR,
the temperature lever toward the right for warmer air
and the fan lever toward the fan symbol. You should
switch to OUTSIDE AIR once in a while to avoid stale
air and cloudy windows.
Defogging and Defrosting
Slide the air intake lever to OUTSIDE AIR and
the airflow lever to DEFROST to direct air to the
windshield vents. Then slide the temperature lever
toward the right and the fan lever toward the fan
symbol. When the windshield is clear, turn down
the fan speed.
Rear Window Defogger (If Equipped)
The rear window defogger
uses a warming grid to
remove fog from the
rear window.
Press the switch to turn on the defogger. An indicator
light on the switch will come on to remind you that the
defogger is on. The rear window defogger will turn
itself off after about 15 minutes. You can also turn it off
by pressing the switch again.
