The settings and controls are as follows:
Temperature Control
Use the driver or passenger temperature control to
regulate the temperature of the air inside the passenger
compartment. The blue area of the control indicates
cooler temperatures, while the red area indicates warmer
temperatures.
The temperature selector should be left at the desired
temperature setting so that the system can automatically
reach that selection as quickly as possible. The inside
temperature will not heat or cool any quicker by setting
the selector higher or lower upon initial start up.
Fan Control
Use this control to regulate the amount of air
volume moving through the system in any
mode you select. Turn the control clockwise to
increase fan speed; counterclockwise to de-
crease fan speed.
Basic Setting - Heater
Select a temperature for each side of the pas-
senger compartment. Select air volume with
the fan control switch and set the fan control at
least to position 2 to prevent windows from
fogging up. Set the air distribution control switch to the
tri-level setting. Turn the defroster outlets for the side
windows to the detent positions. Open center air outlets
as desired.
Select a temperature for each side of the pas-
senger compartment. Select air volume with
the fan control switch. Then select the panel
setting on the air distribution control switch to
force air from the panel outlets.
Select a temperature for each side of the pas-
senger compartment. Select air volume with
the fan control switch. Then select the Bi-Level
setting on the air distribution control switch to
force air from both the upper panel outlets and the floor
outlets.

NOTE:Due to the starter non-repeat feature, the key
must be turned completely to the left before attempting
to start the engine again.
Extremely Cold Weather (below -20°F or -29°C)
For reliable starting in areas where temperatures fre-
quently drop below -20°F (-29°C), we recommend the use
of an externally powered battery and an electric engine
block heater. Advice on these items and installation is
available at your authorized dealer.
If Engine Fails to Start
CAUTION!
Do not try to push or tow your vehicle to get it
started. Your vehicle cannot be started this way.
Pushing with another vehicle may damage the trans-
mission or the rear of your vehicle. See Section 6 of
this manual for proper jump-starting procedures.
WARNING!
Never pour fuel or other flammable liquid into the
throttle body air inlet opening in an attempt to start
the vehicle. This could result in a flash fire, causing
serious personal injury.
138 STARTING AND OPERATING

NOTE:There are steps that you can take to slow down
an impending overheat condition. If your air conditioner
is on, turn it off. The air conditioning system adds heat to
the cooling system and turning off the A/C removes this
heat. You can also turn the temperature control to maxi-
mum heat, the mode control to floor, and the fan control
to high. This allows the heater core to act as a supplement
to the radiator and aids in removing heat from the
cooling system.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot cooling system could damage
your vehicle. If temperature gauge reads “H,” pull
over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the
air conditioner turned off until the pointer drops
back into the normal range. If the pointer remains on
the “H,” turn the engine off immediately, and call for
service.
WARNING!
A hot cooling system is dangerous. You or others
could be badly burned by steam or boiling coolant.
If your temperature gauge pointer is in the red area,
turn off the engine immediately. You may want to
call an authorized dealer for service. If you decide to
look under the hood yourself, see Section 7 of this
manual. Follow the warnings under the Cooling
System Pressure Cap paragraph.

3. Turn off the heater, radio and all unnecessary electrical
loads.
4. Connect one end of a jumper cable to the positive
jump-start attachment of the booster battery. Connect the
other end of the same cable to the positive jump-start
attachment of the discharged battery.
5. Connect the other cable, first to the negative jump-
start attachment of the booster battery and then to the
engine of the vehicle with the discharged battery. Make
sure you have good contact on the engine.6. Start the engine in the vehicle which has the booster
battery, let the engine idle a few minutes, then start the
engine in the vehicle with the discharged battery.
7. When removing the jumper cables, reverse the above
sequence exactly. Be careful of the moving belts and fans.
NOTE:If engine does not run after several unsuccessful
starting attempts, have it checked at the nearest autho-
rized dealer.
DRIVING ON SLIPPERY SURFACES
WARNING!
Rapid acceleration on slippery surfaces is danger-
ous. You could lose control of the vehicle and possi-
bly have an accident. Accelerate slowly and carefully
whenever there is likely to be poor traction (ice,
snow, rain, mud, loose sand, etc.).
