(IF EQUIPPED)
1. Temperature selection:
Controls the temperature of the
airflow in the vehicle.
2. Air flow selections: Controls
the direction of the airflow in the
vehicle. See the following for a brief
description on each control.
MAX A/C: Uses recirculated air
through the instrument panel registers to cool the vehicle. This mode is
noisier than other modes, but is more economical and efficient and may
help prevent undesirable odors from entering the vehicle.

O (OFF): Outside air is shut out and the fan will not operate.
: Distributes outside air through the floor vents.
: Distributes outside air through the windshield defroster vents and
floor vents.
: Distributes outside air through the windshield defroster vents.
3. A/C: Uses outside air to cool the vehicle. Air flows from the
instrument panel register vents only.
4. Rear Defrost: Clears ice and fog from the rear window.
5. Fan speed adjustment: Controls the volume of air circulated in the

Operating tips
• To reduce fog build up on the windshield during humid weather, place
the air flow selector in the position.
• To reduce humidity build up inside the vehicle: do not drive with the
air flow selector in the OFF or MAX A/C position.
• Do not put objects under the front seats that will interfere with the
airflow to the back seats.
• Under normal weather conditions, do not leave the air flow selector in
OFF when the vehicle is parked. This allows the vehicle to “breathe”
using the outside air inlet vents.
• Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of
the windshield.
