Temperature selection
[IP01795( E )05/94]
The temperature lever is the top lever located
below the broken RED and BLUE band. The
RED part of the band (right side) is the heat or
WARM area. The BLUE area (left side) is the
cooling or COOL temperature area. Any position
selected between full right and full left will give
a temperature between the two extreme
temperatures.
[IP01800( E )04/95]
HFan speed adjustment
[IP01805( E )05/95]
The
Hknob (upper left) on the control is the
fan speed knob which controls the volume of air
flow. Rotate the
Hknob to the right to increase
fan speed and increase the amount of air
entering the vehicle. Four fan speed positions are
available and are indicated by LO, two separate
dots and HI beside the
Hcontrol knob. The HI
position provides the most air flow.

NORM A/C
[IP01830( E )05/94]
SelectNORM A/Cto get refrigerated outside air
through the instrument panel registers. The
NORM A/C position is used for cooling except
when it is extremely hot or fast cooling of the
vehicle is needed. Then, select MAX A/C for
fast cooling and return to NORM A/C when
you are comfortable.
*
[IP01835( E )03/95]
MAX A/C
[IP01840( E )05/95]
The MAX A/C position produces cool air more
rapidly to provde faster cooling of your vehicle.
This is possible because cooler air is drawn from
inside the passenger area and then refrigerated
again instead of using warmer outside air. Using
inside air will also make the fan sound louder
which is normal when using MAX A/C. The air
flow will be from the instrument panel registers.
*
[IP01845( E )03/95]
FLOOR
[IP01850( E )05/94]

position but can be heated by moving the top
lever into the RED area.
[IP01855( E )05/94]
DEF FLR
[IP01860( E )05/95]
Select DEF FLR to get air to the floor and
windshield defrosters at the same time. If the
outside temperature is about50ÊF (9ÊC) or
warmer, the air will also be dehumidified to
remove moisture. This feature will help prevent
fogging in humid weather. The air can be cooled
or heated.

50ÊF (9ÊC) orwarmer, the air will be
dehumidified to remove moisture. The air can be
cooled or heated. Rotate the
Hknob to increase
the air flow.
