tures, while rotating right into the red area indicates
warmer temperatures.
NOTE: If your air conditioning performance seems

denser located in front of the radiator for an accumula-

Fabric front fascia protectors may reduce airflow to the
condenser, reducing air conditioning performance.

OFF the indicator light and the A/C compressor. Then,
move the temperature control to the desired temperature.
5. Mode Control (Air Direction)
Rotate this control to choose from several patterns of air
distribution. You can select either a primary mode as
identified by the symbols on the control, or a blend of
two of these modes. The closer the setting is to a
particular symbol, the more air distribution you receive
from that mode.
