temperature knobs are used to
adjust the temperature of the air
coming through the system on the
driver or passenger's side of the
vehicle. The temperature can be

conditioning operation and air
inlet will be automatically
controlled. The air conditioning
compressor will run when the

about 4°C (40°F). The air inlet
will normally be set to outside
air. If it is hot outside, the air
inlet may automatically switch to
recirculate inside air to help
quickly cool down the vehicle.
