MANUAL HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
(IF EQUIPPED)
1. Temperature selection:
Controls the temperature of the
airflow in the vehicle.
2. Air flow selections: Controls
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 re-cooling of the interior air is more
economical and efficient. Recirculated air may also help reduce
undesirable odors from entering the vehicle.
: Distributes air through the instrument panel vents.
: Distributes air through the instrument panel vents and the floor
vents.
O (OFF): Outside air is shut out and the climate system is turned off.
: Distributes air through the floor vents. You may notice a small
amount of air flowing from the defroster vents and demister vents.
: Distributes air through the windshield defroster vents, demister
vents and floor vents.
: Distributes outside air through the windshield defroster vents and
demister vents. Can be used to clear thin ice or fog from the windshield.
3. Recirculated air: Press to activate/deactivate air recirculation
in the vehicle cabin. Recirculated air may reduce the amount of time to
cool down the interior of the vehicle and may also help reduce undesired
odors from reaching the interior of the vehicle. Recirculation engages
automatically with selection of MAX A/C or can be engaged manually in
any other airflow selection except defrost. Recirculation may turn off
automatically in all airflow selections except MAX A/C.
4. R
Rear defroster: Press to activate/deactivate the rear window
defroster. Refer to Rear window defroster later in this chapter for more
information.
5. A/C: Press to activate/deactivate air conditioning. Use with
recirculated air to improve cooling performance and efficiency. Engages
automatically in MAX A/C, (defrost) and (floor/defrost).

4. REAR Rear temperature control: Press to enable the
auxiliary system and to set the desired rear cabin airflow temperature
with the front control. The rear cabin airflow temperature will match the
driver airflow temperature setting when only the center rear temperature
light ( REAR ) is illuminated. The rear cabin airflow temperature
will be warmer or cooler than the driver airflow temperature setting
when more than one rear temperature light ( REAR )is
illuminated.

any other airflow selection except . Recirculation may turn off
automatically in all airflow selections except MAX A/C.
7. A/C: Press to activate/deactivate air conditioning. Use with
recirculated air to improve cooling performance and efficiency. Engages
automatically in MAX A/C, (defrost) and (floor/defrost).
8. Fan speed adjustment: Controls the volume of air circulated in the
vehicle.
9. Temperature selection: Controls the temperature of the airflow to
the driver in the front of the vehicle.
Operating tips
• To reduce fog build up on the windshield during humid weather, place
the air flow selector in the position.
• To reduce humidity build up inside the vehicle: do not drive with the
air flow selector in the O (off) or (in cold weather) MAX A/C position.
• Under normal weather conditions, do not leave the air flow selector in
MAX A/C or O (off) when the vehicle is parked. This allows the
vehicle to “breathe” using the outside air inlet vents.
• To improve the A/C cool down, drive with the windows slightly open
for 2-3 minutes after start up or until the vehicle has been “aired out”.
• During extreme high ambient temperatures when idling stationary for
extended periods of time in gear, it is recommended to run the A/C in

the MAX A/C position, turn off the rear A/C unit, reduce blower fan
speed from the highest setting and put the vehicle’s transmission into
the P (Park) position to continue to receive cool air from your A/C
system.
• Do not put objects under the front seats that will interfere with the
airflow to the back seats.
• Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of
the windshield.
To aid in side window defogging/demisting in cold weather:
1. Select .
2. Select A/C.
3. Adjust the temperature control to maintain comfort.
4. Set the fan speed to the highest setting.
5. Direct the outer instrument panel vents towards the side windows.
To increase airflow to the outer instrument panel vents, close the vents
located in the middle of the instrument panel.
