The mode selection knob controls the
direction of the air flow through the venti-lation system.
Air can be directed to the floor, dash-
board outlets, or windshield. Six symbols
are used to represent MAX A/C, Face,
Bi-Level, Floor, Floor-Defrost and Defrostair position. The MAX A/C mode is used to cool the
inside of the vehicle faster.
MAX A/C-Level (B, C, D, E, F)
Air flow is directed toward the upper body
and face.
In this mode, the air conditioning and the recirculated air position will be selected
automatically.
To improve the effectiveness of cooling, a small amount of air is directed to the
floor.
Face-Level (B, C, D, E, F)
Air flow is directed toward the upper body
and face. Additionally, each outlet can becontrolled to direct the air dischargedfrom the outlet.
Bi-Level (B, D, E, C, F)
Air flow is directed towards the face and
the floor.
Floor-Level (C, A, D, E)
Most of the air flow is directed to the
floor, with a small amount of the air beingdirected to the windshield and side win-
dow defrosters.

taken that these are not blocked by
leaves, snow, ice or other obstructions.
To prevent interior fog on the wind- shield, set the air intake control to the
fresh air position and fan speed to the
desired position, turn on the air condi-tioning system, and adjust the temper-
ature control to desired temperature. D230503BHM
