A/C: Press this button to turn the air conditioning compressor on and off. When you press the button, an A/C OFF message appears on the climate control panel's display. Press the button again and the air conditioner will return to automatic control. The system will cool and dehumidify the air inside the vehicle. In the automatic mode, the air conditioning compressor only operates when the system determines it is needed. The A/C OFF function is not available in the defrost mode. MODE: Press this button (the right or left arrow) to deliver air through the floor, instrument panel or windshield outlets. The climate control system will stay in the selected mode until the MODE button, the DEFROST button or the AUTO button is pressed again. Press the left or right arrow to cycle through the following available modes. UPPER: This setting directs airflow through the middle instrument panel outlets. Your vehicle is equipped with a driver's side lap cooler which will also come on when the upper vents are being used. BI-LEVEL: This setting directs air into your vehicle in two ways. Cool air is directed to the upper portion of your body through the four instrument panel outlets while warmed air is directed to the floor. DEFOG: This setting directs air to the floor outlets and toward the windshield. HEATER: This setting directs warmed air through the floor outlets. Some warm air is diverted to the windshield to minimize fogging. FAN: The button with the fan symbol adjusts the fan speed. Press the up arrow to increase fan speed and the down arrow to decrease fan speed. Press the AUTO button to set the fan speed for automatic operation. If it is cold outside, the blower may not run in the maximum high fan speed right away. The system checks the temperature of the engine coolant to assure it is warm enough to provide heat. When the engine coolant is warm, the controller allows the fan to gradually increase to a higher speed. This prevents cold air from blowing into the passenger's compartment. Selecting a manual fan speed will override this feature. 3-5
