adjusted so air comes from the instrument panel outlets, floor outlets, defrost outlets and demist
outlets. The Mode settings are as follows:
Panel Mode Panel Mode
Air comes from the outlets in the instrument panel. Each of these outlets can be individually adjusted
to direct the flow of air. The air vanes of the center outlets and outboard outlets can be moved up and
down or side to side to regulate airflow direction. There is a shut off wheel located below the air vanes
to shut off or adjust the amount of airflow from these outlets.

through the defrost and side window demister outlets.

air conditioning and manually adjust the blower and airflow
mode settings. Also, make sure to select only Panel, Bi-Level
or Floor modes.
NOTE:
• For Manual Climate Controls, if the system is in Mix orDefrost Mode, the A/C can be turned off, but the A/C
system shall remain active to prevent fogging of the
windows.
• If fog or mist appears on the windshield or side glass, select Defrost mode, and increase blower speed if needed.
• If your air conditioning performance seems lower than expected, check the front of the A/C condenser (located in
front of the radiator), for an accumulation of dirt or insects.
Clean with a gentle water spray from the front of the radi -
ator and through the condenser.
Recirculation
In cold weather, use of Recirculation mode may lead to
excessive window fogging. The Recirculation feature may be
unavailable if conditions exist that could create fogging on
the inside of the windshield. The recirculation mode is not
allowed in Defrost mode to improve window clearing oper -
ation. On systems with Manual Climate Controls (if equipped) the
Recirculation mode is not allowed in Defrost mode to
improve window clearing operation. Recirculation is
disabled automatically if this mode is selected. Attempting
to use Recirculation while in this mode causes the LED in the
control button to blink and then turns off.
Operating Tips
NOTE:
Refer to the chart at the end of this section for suggested
control settings for various weather conditions.
Summer Operation

The engine cooling system must be protected with a
high-quality antifreeze coolant to provide proper corrosion
protection and to protect against engine overheating. Organic
Additive Technology (OAT) coolant (conforming to MS.90032)
is recommended. Refer to “Fluids And Lubricants” in “Tech
-
nical Specifications” for proper coolant selection.
