Heating and Cooling Vent Controls CENTER VENT SIDE VENT How to Use the System This section covers how to set up the system controls for ventilation, heating, cooling, dehumidifying, and defrosting. The engine must be running for the heater and air conditioning to generate hot and cold air. The heater uses engine coolant to warm the air. If the engine is cold, it will be several minutes before you feel warm air coming from the system. The air conditioning does not rely on engine temperature. You can adjust the direction of the air coming from the vents on both sides of the instrument panel and at the corner of the dashboard on the passenger's side. To adjust the air flow up and down, move the tab in the center of each vent up and down. To adjust it left and right, turn the dial under each vent left and right. You can shut off the air flow from each vent by turning the dial all the way toward the mark until it clicks. 86 Comfort and Convenience Features
