WARNING
cThe air conditioner cooling function
operates only when the engine is
running.
cDo not leave children, unreliable
adults, or pets alone in your vehicle.
On hot, sunny days, temperatures in
a closed vehicle could quickly be-
come high enough to cause severe
or possibly fatal injuries to people or
animals.
cDo not use the recirculation mode
for long periods as it may cause the
interior air to become stale and the
windows to fog up.
cPositioning of the heater and air con-
ditioner controls should not be done
while driving, in order that full atten-
tion may be given to the driving
operation.
CONTROLS
Fan control dial
This dial controls fan speed.
Temperature control dial
This dial allows you to adjust the tempera-
ture of the outlet air.
Air control buttons
These buttons allow you to select the air
flow outlets or turn the system off.
OFF button
The OFF button shuts off the air supply to all
outlets and stops all fan operations. Use the
OFF button to prevent cold air from entering
the passenger compartment under cold out-
side conditions before the engine is warmed
up.

Use this position for normal heater or air
conditioner operation.
Recirculate position (indicator light on):
Interior air is recirculated inside the vehicle.
Activate the air recirculation button when
driving on a dusty road or to help keep out
traffic fumes.
Activate the air recirculation button for im-
proved air conditioner performance under
high temperature and high humidity condi-
tions.
If the system is operating in the
or
mode, the system does not allow the
air recirculate mode to be selected.
CAUTION
Do not use the recirculation mode for
long periods as it may cause the inte-
rior air to become stale and the win-
dows to fog up.
Air conditioner button
Start the engine, move the fan control dial to
the desired (1 to 4) position, select an air
control button and push the air conditionerbutton to turn on the air conditioner. The
indicator light comes on when the air condi-
tioner is on. To stop the air conditioner,
push the button again; the indicator light
goes off.
The air conditioner cooling function op-
erates only when the engine is running.
HEATER OPERATION
Heating
This mode is used to direct most of the hot
air to the floor outlets.
The air recirculation button light shouldnot
be on for normal heating.
1. Push the
button in.
2. Turn the fan control dial to select speed.
3. Move the temperature control dial to the
desired position.
Ventilation
This mode directs air to the side and center
vents.
1. Push the
button in.
2. Turn the fan control dial to select speed.3. Move the temperature control dial to the
desired position.
NOTE: The recirculate position can be
used.
Defrosting or defogging
This mode is used to defrost/defog the
windows.
1. Push the
button in.
2. Turn the fan control dial to select speed.
3. Move the temperature control dial to the
desired position.
When the
button is pushed, the air
conditioner automatically turns on to de-
fog the windshield. The recirculated air
mode automatically turns off to reduce
window fogging.
When
is selected, the air condi-
tioner indicator light does not illuminate
unless illuminated in the previously se-
lected mode. However, the air condi-
tioner operates to dehumidify if the out-
side temperature is more than 40ÉF
(4ÉC), whether or not the A/C button has
been pressed. Manual selection and illu-
mination of the A/C button does not

override the automatic dehumidifying
which occurs when
is selected.
Operating Tips
Clear snow and ice from the wiper
blades and air inlet in front of the wind-
shield. This improves defrosting/
defogging operation.
Bi-level heating/cooling
The bi-level mode directs air to the side and
center vents and to the floor outlets.
Bi-level is also a cooling mode when high
sun load conditions are present with cool
temperatures.
With the A/C system in operation, this mode
can be used to cool the passenger's or
driver's feet under high temperature condi-
tions.
With the A/C system in operation under high
temperature conditions, improved cooling
can be obtained by pushing the recirculation
button to the on position.
Push the air recirculation button to the off
position when heating is required.
1. Push the
button in.2. Turn the fan control dial to the desired
position.
3. Move the temperature control dial to the
desired position.
Heating and defogging
This mode heats the interior and defogs the
windshield.
1. Push the
button in.
2. Turn the fan control dial to the desired
position.
3. Move the temperature control dial to the
desired position.
When the
button is pushed, the air
recirculate mode automatically turns off.
Outside air is drawn into the passenger
compartment to improve the defogging
performance.
Operating tips
cClear snow and ice from the wiper
blades and air inlet in front of the
windshield. This improves heater op-
eration.
cTo defog the side windows more effec-
tively when in bi-level or ventilationmode, close the center vent and direct
the side vents toward the side windows.
cA slight delay may be experienced when
changing air control buttons. This is not a
problem, it is only the system motors and
solenoids switching from one outlet to
another.
AIR CONDITIONER OPERATION
Start the engine, move the fan control dial to
the desired (1 to 4) position, and select an
air control button before pushing in the air
conditioner button to activate the air condi-
tioner. When the air conditioner is on, cool-
ing and dehumidifying functions are added
to the system operation.
The air conditioner cooling function op-
erates only when the engine is running.
NOTE: When switching air flow outlets, the
A/C system remains activated unless the
A/C button is pressed again to turn it off.
The indicator light on the A/C button re-
mains illuminated unless the button is
pressed to turn it off, or the OFF air control
button is pressed.

cFor quick cooling when the outside tem-
perature is high, push the air recirculation
button on. Be sure to return the air recir-
culation button to the off position for
normal cooling.
cOpening the windows helps to vent heat
buildup when parked in the sun.
Dehumidified heating
This mode is used to heat and dehumidify.
1. Push the air recirculation button to the off
position.
2. Push the
button in.
3. Turn the fan control dial to select speed.
4. Push on the air conditioner button. The
indicator light comes on.
5. Move the temperature control dial to the
desired position.
Dehumidified defogging
This mode is used to defog the windows
and dehumidify.
1. Push the
button in.
2. Turn the fan control dial to the desired
speed.
3. Move the temperature control dial to the
desired position.
When the
button is pushed, the air
conditioner automatically turns on to de-
fog the windshield, (however, the light
does not illuminate unless illuminated in
the previously selected mode) and the
recirculated air mode automatically turns
off.
Operating tips
cKeep windows and sun roof closed while
the air conditioner is in operation.
cAfter parking in the sun, drive for two or
three minutes with the windows open to
vent hot air from the passenger compart-
ment. Then, close the windows. This
allows the air conditioner to cool the
interior more quickly.
cThe air conditioning system should beoperated for about ten minutes at
least once a month. This helps pre-
vent damage to the system due to lack
of lubrication.
cIf the coolant temperature gauge ex-
ceeds the H (hot) position, turn the air
conditioner off. See ``If your vehicle over-
heats'' in the ``In case of emergency''
section for additional information.
