184 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL The controls are as follows: Fan and Air conditioning Control Use this control to regulate the amount of air forced through the system in any mode you select. The fan speeds to the left of the OFF position are for Air Conditioning. Choosing one of these speeds turns on the air conditioning compressor. The fan speed increases as you move the control to the left from the OFF position. NOTE: The air conditioning compressor will not engage until the engine has been running for about 10 seconds. Fan speeds to the right of OFF are for heater or ventilation operation. The fan speed increases as you move the control to the right from the OFF position. Mode Control (Air Direction) The mode control allows you to choose from several patterns of air distribution. You can select either a primary mode, as identified by the symbols, or a blend of two of these modes. The center point between modes gives an even blend of both modes. The closer the control is to a particular mode, the more air distribution you receive from that mode. Panel Air is directed through the outlets in the instrument panel. These outlets can be adjusted to direct air flow.
