Comfort Controls

Manual Single Zone Climate Control

With this system, you can control the heating, cooling
and ventilation in your vehicle. The system works best if
you keep your windows closed while using it.
Fan Knob
The left knob controls the amount of air you want. To
turn the fan off, turn the knob to OFF.
If the airflow seems very low when the fan knob is turned
to the highest setting, regardless of the mode setting, your
passenger compartment air filter may need to be replaced.
See "Maintenance Schedule" or "Passenger Compartment
Air Filter" in the Index.

Temperature Knob
The center knob changes the temperature of the air
coming through the system. Turn this knob toward red
(clockwise) for warmer air. Turn it toward blue
(counterclockwise) for cooler air.
Mode Knob
The right knob has several settings to control the
direction of airflow:
MAX: This setting recirculates much of the air inside
your vehicle and sends it through the instrument panel
outlets. The air conditioning compressor will run
automatically in this setting unless the outside
temperature is below 40 _ F (4 _ C). (Even when the
compressor is running, you can control the temperature.)
NORM: This setting brings in outside air and sends it
through the instrument panel outlets. The air
conditioning compressor will run automatically in this
setting unless the outside temperature is below 40 _ F
(4 _ C). (Even when the compressor is running, you can
control the temperature.)
