Passenger's Temperature Control The passenger's temperature knob adjusts the temperature on the passenger's side of the vehicle so it is warmer or cooler than the temperature set by the driver. The passenger temperature setting is shown under the words PASS TEMP in the display. Turn the knob clockwise to raise the temperature and counterclockwise to lower the temperature. The display will not show the passenger's temperature -- only that of the driver. Indicators under the words PASS TEMP in the display will show passenger temperature relative driver's set temperature. The large single bar in the center of the + and - symbols (neutral) indicates the same temperature as the driver. The bars between the center bar and the + symbol indicate a warmer temperature setting than the driver. The bars between the center bar and the - symbol indicate a cooler temperature setting than the driver. Manual Control You can also manually control the heating, cooling and ventilation in your vehicle. You can select airflow direction, fan speed, outside or recirculated air and air compressor operation by using the following: Mode Button This button has several settings to control direction of airflow when the system is not in AUTO. To access the various modes available, continue to press MODE until the desired mode appears in the display. (Defog): This setting directs half of the air to the floor ducts and half to the defroster and side window vents. (Bi-Level): This setting directs half of the air through the instrument panel outlets. Most of the remaining air is directed through the floor ducts and a little to the defroster and side window vents. (Upper): This setting directs air through the instrument panel outlets. (Lower): This setting brings in most of the air through the floor ducts. The rest comes out of the defroster and side window vents. (Defrost): This setting brings in outside air and directs most of the air through the defrost vent. Some of the air also goes to the floor ducts and the side window defogger outlets. The air conditioning compressor will run automatically in this setting unless the outside temperature is below 32_F (0_C). 3-6
