The left knob is used to select the force of air you want.
Turn the knob clockwise to increase fan speed and
counterclockwise to decrease fan speed. The fan must be
turned on for the air conditioning compressor to operate.
Temperature Knob
The center knob controls the temperature of the air
coming through the system. Turn the knob clockwise
(toward the red area) for warmer air. Turn the knob
counterclockwise (toward the blue area) for cooler air.
Mode Knob
The right knob is used to select and determine the
direction of the air flowing into the vehicle.
(Upper): This setting directs air through the
instrument panel outlets and the rear console outlets.
(Bi - Level): This setting directs air into your
vehicle in two ways. Cooler air is directed toward your
upper body through the front instrument panel outlets
and the rear console outlets, while warmed air is
directed through the heater ducts at your feet.
(Lower): This setting brings in most of the air
through the floor ducts. It is also used to send air to the
rear of the vehicle. Keep the area under the front seats
free of objects that could obstruct airflow to the rear of
the vehicle.
