The instrument panel (dashboard) on your vehicle is divided
into several different sections. The illustrations on the following
pages show the major parts of the instrument panel that are
described in this chapter. Some items shown may not be on all
vehicles.
[IP00400(ALL)05/95]
The main controls for the climate control system, clock, and
radio are on the instrument panel.
*
[IP00420(ALL)03/95]
Clean the instrument panel lens and woodtone trim with a soft
cloth and a glass cleaner. Do not use paper towel or any
abrasive cleaner to clean either the lens or the woodtone trim as
these may cause scratches.

[IP00430(ALL)05/95]
NOTE: Any cleaner or polish that increases the gloss (shine)
of the upper part of the instrument panel should be
avoided. The dull finish in this area is to help protect
the driver from undesirable windshield reflection.

the function selector knob position and temperature you select.
The function selector knob allows you to select heating or
ventilation and determine where the air will be directed. The
temperature control knob setting determines the temperature of
the air that flows into the vehicle.
