Climate Controls
Climate Control System
The heating, cooling, and ventilation for the vehicle can
be controlled with these systems.
A. Fan Control
B. Temperature Control
C. Air Delivery Mode Control
9(Off):Turns the system off.
Temperature Control:Turn clockwise or
counterclockwise to increase or decrease the
temperature.
9(Fan):Turn clockwise or counterclockwise to
increase or decrease the fan speed. To turn the fan off,
turn the air delivery control counterclockwise to the off
position.Air Delivery Mode Control:Turn clockwise or
counterclockwise to change the direction of the airflow
inside the vehicle.
To change the current mode, select one of the following:
H(Vent):Air is directed to the instrument panel vents.
)(Bi-Level):Air is divided between the instrument
panel and floor vents. Cooler air is directed to the upper
vents and warmer air to the floor vents.
6(Floor):Air is directed to the floor vents. Use this
mode to send air to the rear of the vehicle. Keep
the area under the front seats free of objects that could
obstruct airflow to the rear of the vehicle.
-(Defog):This mode clears the windows of fog or
moisture. Outside air is directed to the floor and
defroster outlets. Adjust the temperature knob for
warmer or cooler air. The air conditioning compressor
may operate in this setting to dehumidify the air.
0(Defrost):This mode removes fog or frost from the
windshield more quickly. Air is directed to the windshield,
with some going to the floor outlets and front side
windows. The air conditioning compressor may operate in
this setting to dehumidify the air.
The temperature knob should be in the red area and the
fan control toward high. Do not drive the vehicle until all
the windows are clear. Vehicles Without Air Conditioning

Defogger
On hot days, open the windows to let hot inside air
escape; then close them. This helps to reduce the time
it takes for the vehicle to cool down. It also helps the
system to operate more efficiently.
Air Delivery Mode Control:Turn clockwise or
counterclockwise to change the direction of the airflow
inside the vehicle.
Select from the following modes:
<(Maximum Air Conditioning):For maximum
cooling. The system goes into recirculation mode and
helps to maximize the air conditioner’s performance and
the vehicle’s fuel economy. This setting also cools the air
the fastest.
Y(Air Conditioning):For normal cooling on hot days.
Outside air is cooled and directed to the instrument
panel vents.
)(Bi-Level Air Conditioning):Air is divided between
the floor and instrument panel vents. The air conditioning
compressor cycles continuously in this setting as long as
the outside temperature is warm enough to activate the
compressor.
H(Vent):Air is directed to the instrument panel vents.
6(Floor):Air is directed to the floor vents. Use this
mode to send air to the rear of the vehicle. Keep the area
under the front seats free of objects that could obstruct
airflow to the rear of the vehicle.
-(Defog):This mode clears the windows of fog or
moisture. Outside air is directed to the floor and
defroster outlets. Adjust the temperature knob for
warmer or cooler air. The air conditioning compressor
may operate in this setting to dehumidify the air.
0(Defrost):This mode removes fog or frost from the
windshield more quickly. Air is directed to the
windshield, with some going to the floor outlets and
front side windows. The air conditioning compressor may
operate in this setting to dehumidify the air.
The temperature knob should be in the red area and the
fan control toward high. Do not drive the vehicle until all
the windows are clear. Vehicles With Air Conditioning

Rear Window Defogger
For vehicles with a rear window defogger, a warming
grid is used to remove fog or frost from the rear window.
The rear window defogger only works when the
ignition is in ON/RUN.
<(Rear):Press to turn the rear window defogger on
or off. An indicator light comes on to show that the
rear window defogger is on. Be sure to clear as much
snow from the rear window as possible.
The rear window defogger turns off several minutes
after the button is pressed. The defogger can also be
turned off by turning off the engine.
Notice:Do not use anything sharp on the inside of
the rear window. If you do, you could cut or damage
the warming grid, and the repairs would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty. Do not attach a
temporary vehicle license, tape, a decal or anything
similar to the defogger grid.
Outlet Adjustment
The vehicle has air outlets on the instrument panel that
adjust the direction and amount of airflow inside the
vehicle.
Move the lever on the outlet up or down to direct the
airflow. Increase or reduce the amount of airflow by
opening and closing the louvers. The outlets can be
moved side-to-side to direct the airflow.
Operation Tips
•
Keep the hood and front air inlets free of ice, snow,
or any other obstruction (such as leaves). The
heater and defroster will work far better, reducing
the chance of fogging the inside of the windows.
•Keep the air path under the front seats clear of
objects. This helps air to circulate throughout
the vehicle.
•Adding outside equipment to the front of the
vehicle, such as hood-air deflectors, may affect the
performance of the heating and air conditioning
system. Check with your dealer/retailer before
adding equipment to the outside of the vehicle.
