Fan Knob
The center knob is the fan knob and selects the force of
air
you want. Turn the knob clockwise to increase fan
speed and counterclockwise to decrease fan speed. The
fan will always run unless the mode knob is turned
to OFF.
Temperature Knob
The right knob regulates the temperature of the
a i r
coming through the system. Turn it toward the blue area
for cooler a i r . Turn it toward the red area for warmer air.
Air Conditioning
On hot days, open the windows long enough to
let hot
inside a i r escape. This reduces the time it takes for your
vehicle to cool down and also reduces the time the air
conditioner's compressor will have to run, which should
help fuel economy. Then keep your windows closed for
the air conditioner to work its best.
For a quick cool-down on very hot days, use
the
RECIRC
setting. Press the
A/C
button, and if the
A/C
indicator light is not on,
turn
the temperature knob to the
end of the blue area (counterclockwise). Then, turn the
fan knob to its highest speed. If this setting is used for
long periods of time, the air in your vehicle may become
too cold and dry. For normal cooling on hot days, select
the UPPER mode. To do this, press the
A/C
button.
If the
A/C
indicator light does not turn on, turn the
temperature knob to the blue area and select the
appropriate fan speed. This setting cools the air entering
your vehicle and directs it through the upper outlets. The
direction of the cool air can be controlled by adjusting
or turning off the instrument panel outlets.
Heating
Turn the temperature knob toward the red area (clockwise)
for warmer air. To warm the vehicle up on very cold days,
select the LOWER mode, turn the temperature knob to the
end of the red area (clockwise), and
turn
the fan knob to
its highest setting. The heater works best if you keep your
windows closed while using it.
