It can be dangerous to drive with the rear
window or endgate open because carbon
monoxide (CO) gas can come into your vehicle.
You can’t see
or smell CO. It can cause
unconsciousness and even death.
If you must drive with the rear window or
endgate open or if electrical wiring or other cable
connections must pass through the seal between
the body and the rear window or endgate:
0 Make sure all windows are shut.

The upper knob regulates the temperature of the air
coming through the system. Turn the knob clockwise
for warmer air. Turn the knob counterclockwise for
cooler air.
Mode Knob

air delivery.
OFF: This setting turns the system off. Some outside air
will still enter the vehicle whenever the vehicle is
moving forward.
MAX A/C: This setting provides maximum cooling
with the least amount
of work. MAX A/C recirculates
much
of the air inside your vehicle so it cools quickly.

directs
it through the instrument panel outlets.
+fl BI-LEVEL A/C: Air is delivered through
the heater floor outlets
as well as the instrument
panel outlets.
fl VENT This setting directs airflow through the
instrument panel outlets. The air conditioning
compressor is not working when

Air Conditioning Heating
On hot
days, open the windows long enough to let hot
inside air 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.
For quick cool-down
on very hot days, use MAX A/C
with the temperature knob turned counterclockwise.
This setting should be used to keep odors and/or dust
from entering the vehicle. For normal cooling on hot
days, use A/C with the temperature knob turned
counterclockwise.
On cool but sunny days, use
BI-LEVEL A/C to deliver
warm air to the floor and cooler air to the instrument
panel outlets.
When the air conditioner is on, you may sometimes
notice slight changes in your vehicle’s engine speed
and power.
This is normal because the system is
designed to cycle the compressor on and off to keep
the desired temperature. The
heater works best if you keep your windows closed
while using it. On cold days, use HEATER with the
temperature knob turned clockwise.
BLEND is useful in
cool weather when you have fog or ice on the
windshield or side windows.
If you use the optional engine coolant heater before
starting your engine, your heating system will produce
warmer air faster to heat the passenger compartment in
cold weather. See “Engine Coolant Heater” in the Index.
Ventilation System
For mild outside temperatures when little heating or
cooling is needed, use VENT to direct outside air
through your vehicle. Airflow is through the instrument
panel outlets.
Your vehicle’s ventilation system supplies outside air to
the inside
of your vehicle when it is moving. When the
vehicle is not moving, you can get outside air to flow
through by selecting any mode and any fan speed.
