78 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL CLIMATE CONTROLS Air Conditioning The Air Conditioning System allows you to balance the temperature, amount, and direction of air circulating throughout the vehicle. The air conditioning system of your vehicle contains R-134a, a refrigerant that does not deplete the ozone layer in the upper atmosphere. 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 counterclockwise 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 clockwise 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.

CLIMATE CONTROLS
Air Conditioning
The Air Conditioning System allows you to balance the
temperature, amount, and direction of air circulating
throughout the vehicle.
The air conditioning system of your vehicle contains
R-134a, a refrigerant that does not deplete the ozone layer
in the upper atmosphere.
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 Condition-
ing.
Choosing
one
of
these
speeds turns on the air condi-
tioning compressor. The fan
speed increases as you move
the control counterclockwise 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 ventila-
tion operation. The fan speed increases as you move the
control clockwise from the OFF position.
Mode Control (Air Direction)
The mode control allows you
to choose from several pat-
terns 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 par-
ticular mode, the more air distribution you receive from
that mode.
Panel
Air is directed through the outlets in the instru-
ment panel. These outlets can be adjusted to direct
air flow.
