Temperature Control
Use this control to regu-
late the temperature of
the air inside the passen-
ger compartment. Turn
the control clockwise to
increase the temperature
of the air entering the ve-
hicle.
Side Window Demisters
A side window demister outlet is at each end of the
instrument panel. These nonadjustable outlets direct air
toward the side windows when the system is in either the
FLOOR, MIX, or DEFROST mode. The air is directed at
the area of the windows through which you view the
outside mirrors.
Outside Air Intake
When operating the system during the winter months,
make sure the air intake, directly in front of the wind-
shield, is free of ice, slush, snow or other obstructions
such as leaves. Leaves collected in the air-intake plenum
may reduce air flow and plug the plenum water drains.
The blower air will heat faster in cold weather if you use
only a low blower speed for the first few minutes of
vehicle operation.
During engine warm-up in cold weather, use the Defrost
mode to direct any cold air away from the occupants.
Air Conditioning — If Equipped
The Air Conditioning System allows you to balance the
temperature, amount, and direction of air circulating
throughout the vehicle.
The air conditioning system of your vehicle contains
R-134a, a refrigerant that does not deplete the ozone layer
in the upper atmosphere.
CAUTION!
If your vehicle was not built with air conditioning, The
manufacturer does not recommend that you install any
non-factory A/C system. The design of add-on air
conditioning kits may be inadequate. This may cause
damage to your engine or other components.
