Mode Knob
The knob on the right side of the climate control panel
has several settings to adjust the direction of the airflow:
MAX: This setting recirculates much of the air
inside your vehicle and sends it through the instrument
panel outlets. The air conditioning compressor will
run automatically in this setting unless the outside
temperature is below 38
F (3.3
C). (Even when the
compressor is running, you can control the temperature.)
UPPER: This setting brings in outside air and
directs it through the instrument panel outlets.
BI-LEVEL: This setting brings in 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 small amount to
the defrost and side window vents.
FLOOR: This setting sends most of the air
through the ducts near the floor. The remaining airflow
comes out of the defroster and side window vents.
DEFOG: This setting allows half of the air to go
to the floor ducts and half to the defroster and side
window vents.
DEFROST: This setting directs most of the air
through the defroster. Some of the air goes to the floor
ducts and the side window vent. The air conditioning
compressor will run automatically in this setting unless
the outside temperature is below 38
F (3.3
C).
Air Conditioning Compressor Button
Press the A/C button to operate the air conditioning
compressor. The indicator light above the button will glow
when the button is pressed. You don't have to press the
button to run the compressor in MAX or DEFROST
because it will already be running in these modes.
