Recirculation Button
Push the button on the faceplate to change the system between recirculation mode and outside air mode. The Recircula-
tion indicator and the A/C indicator illuminate when Recirculation mode is turned on. Recirculation can be used when out-
side conditions, such as smoke, odors, dust, or humidity are present. Recirculation can be used in all modes except for
Defrost. Recirculation may be unavailable if conditions exist that could create fogging on the inside of the windshield. The
A/C can be deselected manually without disturbing the mode control selection. Continuous use of the Recirculation mode
may make the inside air stuffy and window fogging may occur. Extended use of this mode is not recommended.
Temperature Control
Use this control knob to regulate the temperature of the air inside the passenger compartment. Rotating the knob counter-
clockwise, from top center into the blue area of the scale, indicates cooler temperatures. Rotating the knob clockwise, into
the red area, indicates warmer temperatures.
Blower Control
There are seven blower speeds. Use this control knob to regulate the amount of air forced through the system in any mode
you select. The blower speed increases as you move the control clockwise from the off position.
Modes Control
Rotate the Mode Control Knob to change the airflow distribution mode. The airflow distribution mode can be adjusted so
air comes from the instrument panel outlets, floor outlets, defrost outlets and demist outlets. The Mode settings are as fol-
lows:

Air comes from the outlets in the instrument panel. Each of these outlets can be individually adjusted to direct the flow of
air. The air vanes of the center outlets and outboard outlets can be moved up and down or side to side to regulate airflow
direction. There is a shut off wheel located below the air vanes to shut off or adjust the amount of airflow from these out-
lets.
