156 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 5. Air Conditioning ON/OFF 6. Rear Window Defroster 7. Air Distribution (Mode) Control The climate control system allows you to balance the temperature, amount and direction of the air circulating throughout the vehicle. The system is always at operational readiness, except when manually switched off. The climate control only operates with the engine running. The climate control removes a considerable amount of moisture from the air during operation in the air conditioning mode, therefore it is considered normal operation for water to drip on the ground through ducts in the underbody. The settings and controls are as follows: Temperature Control Use the driver or passenger temperature control to regulate the temperature of the air inside the passenger compartment. The blue area of the control indicates cooler temperatures, while the red area indicates warmer temperatures. The temperature selector should be left at the desired temperature setting so that the system can automatically reach that selection as quickly as possible. The inside temperature will not heat or cool any quicker by setting the selector higher or lower upon initial start up. Fan Control Use this control to regulate the amount of air volume moving through the system in any mode you select. Turn the control clockwise to increase fan speed; counterclockwise to decrease fan speed.
