The middle knob on the control panel lets you select the
desired air temperature in your vehicle. This knob will
allow you to adjust the interior air temperature
independent of the function knob setting. Move the knob
clockwise toward 82
F (28
C) for warmer air. Move the
knob counterclockwise toward 66
F (19
C) for cooler
air. When the system is set for automatic operation,
sensors will control the fan speed.
Full Hot: If you turn the temperature knob past 82
F
(28
C), the system will go into the ªfull hotº mode. The
system will remain at that maximum heating setting and
the fan will blow at the speed the fan knob is set to. If
the fan is in AUTO, it will run at full speed.
Full Cold: If you turn the temperature knob past 66
F
(19
C), the system will go into the ªfull coldº mode.

(Vent): This setting directs most of the air through
the instrument panel outlets and a small amount through
the floor outlets.
(Bi-Level): Air is delivered through the floor
outlets as well as the instrument panel outlets.
(Floor): This setting directs most of the warmed
air through the floor outlets and some air through the
windshield defroster outlets.
(Blend): Airflow is divided equally between the
floor outlet and the windshield defroster outlets. The air
conditioning compressor may run to dehumidify the air
to prevent window fogging.

3-9 Rear Air Conditioning and Heating Systems
(If Equipped)
If your vehicle has one of these systems, you can

3-13 Air Conditioning
On hot days, open the windows long enough to let hot
air inside escape. This reduces the time it takes for your
vehicle to cool down. Then keep your windows closed
for the air conditioner to work its best.
The A/C button, below the mode knob, allows the air
coming into your vehicle to be cooled. This setting is
useful for normal cooling on hot days.
The recirculation button allows the air inside your
vehicle to be recirculated. This setting helps to
maximize your air conditioner's performance and your
vehicle's fuel economy. This setting also cools air the
fastest and can be used to keep unwanted odors and/or
dust from entering the vehicle. When using the air
conditioner, turn off the recirculation button after the
vehicle reaches a comfortable interior temperature.
When the right knob on the control panel is between
floor and defrost, the recirculation feature will not
function to reduce window fogging.When you use A/C with the recirculation button pushed
in, turn off recirculation as soon as the vehicle reaches a
comfortable interior temperature.
Maximum air conditioning performance is obtained by
pressing the A/C button, the recirculation button and
turning the temperature knob fully counterclockwise to
the blue area. This setting also cools air the fastest. After
the vehicle's interior reaches a comfortable temperature,
press the outside air button to place the air conditioning
system in the normal mode.
Passenger Compartment Air Filter (If Equipped)
If your vehicle has air conditioning, it is equipped with
a passenger compartment air filter, which filters outside
air entering the vehicle. For information on replacing
the filter see ªPassenger Compartment Air Filterº in
the Index.
