CLIMATE CONTROLS
The air conditioning and heating system is designed to
make you comfortable in all types of weather. For infor-
mation about basic climate control functions, refer to
“General Climate Control Functions All Systems.” For
more detailed information about the climate controls in
your vehicle, refer to “Single-Zone Manual Air Condi-
tioning and Heating System,” “Two- and Three-Zone
Manual Air Conditioning and Heating Systems,” or
“Two- and Three-Zone Automatic Temperature Control
(ATC) Systems.”
General Climate Control Functions All Systems
Blower Control
Use this control to regulate the amount of air forced
through the ventilation system in any mode.
Temperature Control
Use this control to regulate the temperature of the air
inside the cabin.
Air Conditioning (A/C) Control
Use this control to engage and disengage the A/C.
NOTE:
The A/C compressor will not engage until the engine
has been running for about 10 seconds.
If A/C performance seems lower than expected, check
the front of the A/C condenser (located in front of the
radiator) for an accumulation of dirt or insects. Clean
with a gentle water spray from behind the radiator
and through the condenser. Fabric front fascia protec-
tors may reduce airflow to the condenser, reducing air
conditioning performance.
Mode Control (Air Direction)
Use these controls to choose from several patterns of air
distribution.
