To restore automatic control of the A/C
compressor, push the A/C button or the AUTO
button. With the A/C compressor off, the air
speed can be set manually using the Air Speed
Adjustment Knob.
When the A/C compressor is on, and the
engine is running, air speed cannot be lower
than the minimum speed (only one indicator
light is lit).
NOTE:
When the A/C is off the Climate Control system
can not produce air that is colder than the
current outside temperature. Under certain
environmental conditions, windows could fog
up rapidly, since the air is not dehumidified.

both the driver and passenger side
Activate a blower speed based on the
temperature of the engine coolant
Adjust the air flow towards the windshield
and front side windows
Activate the Rear Window Defroster
