Temperature selection The temperature control knob is the rotating knob located at the center of the control with tapered red and blue bands surrounding most of the knob. The wide red part of the band (full right) is the heat or warmer area. The wide blue area (full left) is the cooling or cool temperature area. Any position selected between full right and full left will give a temperature between the two extreme temperatures. H Fan speed adjustment The H (left) knob on the control is the fan control knob which controls the volume of air flow. Rotate the H knob to the right to increase fan speed and increase the amount of air entering the vehicle. Four fan speed positions are available and are indicated by dots beside the H control knob. The largest dot is high speed position. Airflow selections Q (Panel) Use Q to bring outside air through the instrument panel registers. You can heat the air in this position by rotating the temperature knob into the red area. The air CANNOT be cooled below the outside temperature regardless of the temperature knob setting. Select A/C or MAX A/C to get cool air through the instrument panel registers. A/C Select A/C to get refrigerated outside air through the instrument panel registers. The A/C position is used for cooling except when it is extremely hot or fast cooling of the vehicle is needed. Then, select MAX A/C for fast cooling and return to A/C when you are comfortable. 66
