REAR WIPER AND WASHER —
I
F EQUIPPED
The rear wiper/washer is operated by rotating a
switch, located at the middle of the windshield
wiper/washer lever.
Rotate the windshield wiper lever center
ring upwards to operate the rear window
wiper as follows:
In intermittent mode when the front window
wiper is not operating
In synchronous mode (at half the speed of the
front window wiper) when the front window
wiper is operating
In continuous mode while vehicle is in REVERSE
With the windshield wipers on, and REVERSE gear
engaged, rear window wiping will be continuous in
the same way.
Rear Windshield Washer Operation Pushing the windshield wiper lever
forward activates the rear window
washer. Keep the windshield wiper lever
pushed for more than quarter of a
second to activate the rear window wiper as well.
When the windshield wiper lever is released, the
wipers will return to normal operation.
CLIMATE CONTROLS
The Climate Control system allows you to regulate
the temperature, air flow, and direction of air
circulating throughout the vehicle. The controls are
located on the instrument panel below the radio.
MANUAL CLIMATE CONTROL
D
ESCRIPTIONS AND FUNCTIONS
Manual Climate Controls
System Maintenance
In Winter, the Climate Control system must be
turned on at least once a month for about
10 minutes.
Have the system inspected at an authorized dealer
before the Summer.
A/C Button
Push the A/C button to engage the Air
Conditioning (A/C). A LED will illuminate
when the A/C system is engaged. The
A/C can be deselected manually
without disturbing the mode control selection.
The Air Conditioning (A/C) button allows the
operator to manually activate or deactivate the air
conditioning system. When the air conditioning
system is turned on, cool dehumidified air will flow
through the outlets into the cabin.
For Manual Climate Controls, if the system is in
Mix, Floor or Defrost mode, the A/C can be
turned off, but the A/C system shall remain
active to prevent fogging of the windows.
If fog or mist appears on the windshield or side
glass, select Defrost mode, and increase blower
speed if needed.
If your air conditioning performance seems
lower than expected, check the front of the A/C
condenser (located in front of the radiator), for
an accumulation of dirt or insects. Clean with a
gentle water spray from the front of the radiator
and through the condenser.

30GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
Mode Control
Rotate this control to change the airflow
distribution mode. The airflow
distribution mode can be adjusted so air
comes from the instrument panel
outlets, floor outlets, defrost outlets and demist
outlets. The Mode settings are as follows:
Panel Mode
Air comes from the outlets in the
instrument panel. Each of these outlets
can be individually adjusted to direct the
flow of air. The air vanes of the center
outlets and outboard outlets can be moved up and
down or side to side to regulate airflow direction.
There is a shut-off wheel located below the air
vanes to shut off or adjust the amount of airflow
from these outlets.
Bi-Level Mode
Air comes from the instrument panel
outlets and floor outlets. A slight amount
of air is directed through the defrost and
side window demister outlets.
NOTE:Bi-Level mode is designed under comfort condi -
tions to provide cooler air out of the panel outlets
and warmer air from the floor outlets.
Floor Mode
Air comes from the floor outlets. A slight
amount of air is directed through the
defrost and side window demister
outlets.
Mix Mode
Air is directed through the floor, defrost,
and side window demister outlets. This
setting works best in cold or snowy
conditions that require extra heat to the
windshield. This setting is good for maintaining
comfort while reducing moisture on the
windshield.
OPERATING TIPS
Refer to the chart at the end of this section for
suggested control settings for various weather
conditions.
Summer Operation
The engine cooling system must be protected with
a high-quality antifreeze coolant to provide proper
corrosion protection and to protect against engine
overheating. OAT coolant (conforming to
MS.90032) is recommended Ú page 240.
Winter Operation
To ensure the best possible heater and defroster
performance, make sure the engine cooling
system is functioning properly and the proper
amount, type, and concentration of coolant is used
Úpage 240. Use of the Air Recirculation mode
during Winter months is not recommended
because it may cause window fogging.
Vacation/Storage
For information on maintaining the Climate Control
system when the vehicle is being stored for an
extended period of time, see Ú page 233.
Window Fogging
Vehicle windows tend to fog on the inside of the
glass in mild, rainy and/or humid weather. To clear
the windows, select Defrost or Mix mode and
increase the front blower speed. Do not use the
Recirculation mode without A/C for long periods,
as fogging may occur.
Outside Air Intake
Make sure the air intake, located directly in front of
the windshield, is free of obstructions, such as
leaves. Leaves collected in the air intake may
reduce airflow, and if they enter the air distribution
box, they could plug the water drains. In Winter
months, make sure the air intake is clear of ice,
slush, and snow.
