214 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL
NOTE: For maximum airflow to the rear seat passen-
gers, the center instrument panel outlets can be aimed, so
that the left center outlet is directed toward the right rear
passenger and the right center outlet is directed toward
the left rear passenger.
Temperature Control
Use this control to regulate the tem-
perature of the air inside the passenger
compartment. The blue area of the
scale indicates cooler temperatures
while the red area indicates warmer
temperatures.
NOTE: If your air conditioning performance seems
lower than expected, check the front of the A/C con-
denser (located in front of the radiator), for an accumu-
lation of dirt or insects. Clean with a gentle water spray
from behind the radiator and through the condenser.
Fabric front fascia protectors may reduce airflow to the
condenser, reducing air conditioning performance.
Air Conditioning (A/C) — If Equipped
Press the A/C button to engage the air
conditioning. A lamp will illuminate
when the air conditioning system is
engaged
NOTE: The air conditioning compressor will not engage
until the engine has been running for about 10 seconds.
