HEATER OPERATION
Heating
This mode is used to direct heated air to
the foot outlets. Some air also flows from
the defrost outlets.
1. Move the air intake lever to the
position for normal heating.
2. Turn the air flow control dial to the
position. 3. Turn the
fan speed control dial to
the desired position.
4. Turn the temperature control dial to the desired position between the middle
and the hot position.
Ventilation
This mode directs outside air to the side
and center vents.
1. Move the air intake lever to the
position.
2. Turn the air flow control dial to the
position.
3. Turn the
fan speed control dial to
the desired position.
4. Turn the temperature control dial to the desired position.
Defrosting or defogging
This mode directs the air to the defrost
outlets to defrost/defog the windows.
1. Move the air intake lever to the
position.
2. Turn the air flow control dial to the
position. 3. Turn the
fan speed control dial to
the desired position.
4. Turn the temperature control dial to the desired position between the middle
and the hot position.
• To quickly remove ice or fog from the win- dows, turn the
fan speed control dial
to the maximum position and the tem-
perature control dial to the full hot
position.
When the
orposition is se-
lected, the air conditioner automatically
turns on (however, the indicator light will
not illuminate). In this position, the air con-
ditioner cannot be turned off. When the air
flow control is turned to any position other
than
or(the air conditioner will
continue operating). and can be turned off
using the air conditioner button. This dehu-
midifies the air, which helps defog the
windshield.
Bi-level heating
This mode directs cooler air from the side
and center vents and warmer air from the
floor outlets. When the temperature con-
trol dial is moved to the full hot or full cool
position, the air between the vents and the
floor outlets is the same temperature.

Operating tips
Clear snow and ice from the wiper blades
and air inlet in front of the windshield.
This improves heater operation.
AIR CONDITIONER OPERATION

Operating tips
€ Keep the windows closed while the airconditioner is in operation.
€ Af ter parking in the sun, drive for 2 or 3 minutes with the windows open to vent
hot air from the passenger compart-
ment before closing the windows. This
allows the air conditioner to cool the inte-
rior more quickly.
€ The air conditioning system should be
operated for approximately 10 minutes
at least once a month. This helps pre-
vent damage to the system due to lack
of lubrication.
• A visible mist may be seen coming from the ventilators in hot, humid conditions
as the air is cooled rapidly. This does not
indicate a malfunction.
• If the high temperature warning light
illuminates in red indicating en-
gine coolant temperature is over the
normal range, turn the air conditioner
off. For additional information, see “If
your vehicle overheats” (P. 6-12).

modules.
• Keep the antenna wire more than 8 in
(20 cm) away from the electronic
control system harnesses. Do not
route the antenna wire next to any
harness.
• Adjust the antenna standing-wave
ratio as recommended by the
manufacturer.
• Connect the ground wire from the CB
radio chassis to the body.

DOT (Department of Transportation) Qual-
ity Grades: All passenger car tires must
conform to federal safety requirements in
addition to these grades.
Quality grades can be found where appli-
cable on the tire sidewall between tread
shoulder and maximum section width. For
example:
Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A
Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative rat-
ing based on the wear rate of the tire when
tested under controlled conditions on a
specified government test course. For ex-
ample, a tire graded 150 would wear one
and one-half (1 1/2) times as well on the
government course as a tire graded 100.
The relative performance of tires depends
upon the actual conditions of their use,
however, and may depart significantly from
the norm due to variations in driving habits,
service practices and differences in road
characteristics and climate.
Traction AA, A, B and C
The traction grades, from highest to low-
est, are AA, A, B, and C. Those grades repre-
sent the tire's ability to stop on wet pave-
ment as measured under controlledconditions on specified government test
surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire
marked C may have poor traction
performance.
