Air-Conditioning System
OFF switch
Pressing the OFF switch shuts off the air-
conditioning system.
Temperature control dial
This dial controls temperature. Turn it
clockwise for hot and anticlockwise for
cold.
 


 When the DUAL switch is off:
 Turn the driver temperature control dial
to control the temperature throughout
the entire cabin.
 


 When the DUAL switch is on:
 Turn the driver or front passenger
temperature control dial to
independently control the temperature
on each side of the cabin.
NOTE
The air-conditioning system changes to
the individual operation mode ( DUAL
switch indicator light illuminated) by
turning the front passenger temperature
control dial even when the DUAL
switch is off, which allows individual
control of the set temperature for the
driver and front passenger.
Fan control switch
The fan has seven speeds. The selected
speed will be displayed.
Mode selector switch
The desired airfl ow mode can be selected
(page 5-4 ).
NOTE
  With the airfl ow mode set to the
