the fan off, turn the knob to OFF. The fan must be on to
run the air conditioning compressor.

coming through the system. Turn this knob toward red (clockwise) for warmer air. Turn it toward blue

of airflow when the system is not in AUTO. The indicator
light on the button will glow when the button is pressed.
RECIRC: This setting can recirculate either the air
inside of your vehicle or outside air and send it through
the instrument panel outlets. Press this button once and
it will recirculate outside air. Press it again and it will
recirculate the air inside
of your vehicle. This setting is
available in LOWER, DEFOG, UPPER and BI-LEV.
UPPER: This setting brings in outside air and directs it
through the instrument panel outlets.
BI-LEV: This setting brings in the outside air and
directs it two ways. Half of the air is directed through
the instrument panel outlets. Most of the remaining air is
directed through the floor ducts and
a little to the defrost
and side window vents.
LOWER: This setting sends most of the air through the
ducts near the floor. The rest comes out of the defrost
and side window vents.
DEFOG: This setting allows half of the air to go to the
floor ducts and half to the defrost and side window vents.
DEF: This setting directs most of the air through the
defrost and side window vents. Some of the air goes to
the floor ducts. The air conditioning compressor will run
automatically in this setting unless the outside
temperature is below 40°F (4.5"C).
Automatic Control
For the most efficient operation, you should press the knob
and set the system temperature. The system will select the
best fan speed and airflow settings to keep you comfortable.
The
air conditioning compressor will run if the outside
temperature is above 40°F

of three to four minutes before the fan comes on.
