UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 239 Floor Outside air flows primarily through the floor outlets located under the instrument panel. Mix Outside air flows in equal proportions through the floor and defroster outlets. Defrost Outside air is primarily directed to the windshield through the defroster outlets located at the base of the windshield, and the demister outlets located at the edge of each side of the instrument panel. NOTE: The air conditioner compressor operates in both Mix and Defrost or a blend of these modes, even if the A/C button has not been pressed. This dehumidifies the air to help dry the windshield. Blower Control The rotary knob on the left of the control panel is the Blower Control. Turn the knob clockwise to one of the four positions to obtain the blower speed you desire. To turn the blower off, turn the knob to the far left position. NOTE: For vehicles equipped with Remote Start, the climate controls will not function during Remote Start operation if the blower control is left in the "O" (Off) position. 4
