Comfort Controls
This section tells you how to make your air system
work for you. 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.

The left knob selects the force of air you want.
Turn the knob clockwise to increase fan speed and

The center knob changes the temperature of the air
coming through the system. Turn this knob toward
red (clockwise) for warmer air. Turn it toward blue
(counterclockwise) for cooler air.

The right knob has several settings to control the
direction of airflow. For each setting, set the
temperature to a comfortable setting.

Audio Systems
Your audio system has been designed to operate easily
and give years of listening pleasure. You will get the
most enjoyment out of it if you acquaint yourself with it
first. Find out what your audio system can do and how
to operate all of its controls to be sure you're getting the
most out of the advanced engineering that went into it.
