Climate Controls
Climate Control System
With this system you can control the heating, cooling
and ventilation for your vehicle.
Operation
To change the current mode, use the right knob to
select one of the following:
H(Vent): This mode directs air to the instrument
panel outlets.
)(Bi-Level): This mode directs air to the instrument
panel outlets and to the floor outlets. Cooler air is directed
to the upper outlets and warmer air to the floor outlets.
6(Floor): This mode directs most of the air to the
floor outlets with some air directed to the windshield.
When you select this mode, the system will turn
recirculation mode off and run the air conditioning
compressor unless the outside air is at or below
freezing. Recirculation mode cannot be selected while
in floor mode. This helps prevent window fogging
and moisture building up within the cabin.
The right knob can also be used to select defog or
defrost mode. See “Defogging and Defrosting” later
in this section.
A(Fan): Turn the left knob clockwise to increase
the fan speed or counterclockwise to decrease the fan
speed. To turn the fan off, turn the left knob all the
way counterclockwise. In any setting other than off,
the fan will run continuously with the ignition on.
The fan must be turned on to run the air conditioning
compressor. There will be some airflow noticeable from
the various outlets when driving, even with the fan in
the off position. This is to ensure some fresh air is
always available in the vehicle.
Temperature Control: Turn the center knob clockwise
to increase or counterclockwise to decrease the
temperature inside your vehicle.
