Use the outer dial control 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 and decreases when you move
the control counter-clockwise.
The blower fan speed can be set to any fixed speed by
adjusting the blower control outer dial. The fan will now
operate at a fixed speed until additional speeds are
selected. This allows the front occupants to control the
volume of air circulated in the vehicle and cancel the
Auto mode.
The operator can also select the direction of the airflow
by selecting one of the following positions.
