the direction of the airflow in the
vehicle. See the following for a brief
description on each control.
Max A/C:Distributes recirculated
air through the instrument panel vents to cool the vehicle. This recooling
of the interior air is more economical and efficient. Recirculated air may
also help reduce undesirable odors from entering the vehicle.
:Distributes outside air through the instrument panel vents.
:Distributes outside air through the instrument panel vents and the
floor vents.
O (OFF):Outside air is shut out and the fan will not operate.
:Distributes outside air through the floor vents.Note:Some airflow
will come out of the small vents near the side windows.
