2005 Dodge Neon Owner Manual SRT-4 - Page 85

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 85 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. Bi-Level Air is directed through the panel and floor outlets. NOTE: There is a difference in temperature between the upper and lower outlets for added comfort. The warmer air goes to the floor outlets. This feature gives improved comfort during sunny but cool conditions. NOTE: If you choose Defrost mode while the Circulation control is in the Recirculation Mode, the system will automatically switch to the Outside Air mode and the knob will move to that position. Floor Air is directed through the floor outlets and side window demist outlets with a small amount through the defrost outlet. 4
