8-6 Climate Controls
AUTO (Automatic Air Delivery
Mode): Turn the air delivery mode
knob to AUTO for the system to
automatically control the direction of
the airflow to help reach the desired
inside temperature.
The system automatically controls
the air inlet to supply the outside air
or recirculated inside air needed to
heat or cool the vehicle faster. The
recirculation button indicator light is
lit whenever the recirculation mode
is on.
Press the outside air button to
change to outside air. However, the
recirculation mode may turn back on
automatically.
In cold weather, if the fan and air
delivery modes are in automatic, the
system starts at lower fan speeds to
avoid directing cold air into the
vehicle until warmer air is available.
The climate control system
directs air to the floor, but may
automatically change modes as the
vehicle warms up to maintain the
chosen temperature setting. The
length of time needed to warm the
interior depends on the outside
temperature and inside temperature
of the vehicle.
Manual Operation
A (Fan Control): Turn clockwise or
counterclockwise to increase or
decrease the fan speed. To turn the
fan off, turn the left knob to the
9
position. In any setting other than
off, the fan runs 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. To turn off the
air completely, turn the fan to
9
and select the recirculation button.
Temperature Control: Turn
clockwise or counterclockwise to
increase or decrease the
temperature. Select the desired
cabin air temperature between
60‐90°F (16‐32°C). Typically, the
best setting is near 75°F (23°C).
Choosing the coldest or warmest
temperature setting does not cause
the system to heat or cool any
faster.
Air Delivery Mode Control: Turn
clockwise or counterclockwise to
change the current airflow mode.
Select from the following air delivery
modes:
H (Vent): Air is directed to the
instrument panel outlets.
) (Bi-Level): Air is divided
between the instrument panel
outlets and the floor outlets.
6 (Floor): Air is directed to the
floor outlets with some air directed
to the windshield.
