Heating and ventilation

There are three controls and two switches for the heating and cooling system. They are: 1. Air flow control. 2. Fan speed control. 3. Temperature control. 4. Air intake control switch.
5. Air conditioning switch.
Fan Speed Control (Blower Control) This is used to turn the blower fan on and off and to select the fan speed.
The blower fan speed, and therefore the volume of air delivered from the system, may be controlled manually by setting the blower control between the "1" and "4" position.
Air Intake Control This is used to select fresh outside air or recirculating inside air.
To change the air intake control mode, (Fresh mode, Recirculation mode) push the control button.
FRESH MODE (
) : The indicator light on
the button goes off when the air intake control is fresh mode.
RECIRCULATION MODE (
): The indicator
light on the button is illuminated when the air intake control is recirculation mode.
With the "Recirculation" mode selected, air from within the passenger compartment will be drawn through the heating system and heated or cooled according to the function selected.
NOTE:It should be noted that prolonged operation of the heating in "Recirculation" mode (
) may result in fogging of the windshield
and side windows and the air within the passenger compartment will become stale. In addition, prolonged use of the air conditioning with the "Recirculation" mode (
) selected may result in the air within
the passenger compartment becoming excessively dry.
Air Flow Control This is used to turn the blower fan on/off and to direct the flow of air. Air can be directed to the floor, dashboard outlets, or windshield. Five symbols are used to represent Face, Bi-Level, Floor, Floor-Defrost and Defrost air position.
The MAX A/C mode is used to cool the inside of the vehicle faster. The "OFF" mode is used to turn the blower fan off.

Face-Level Selecting the "Face" mode will cause air to be discharged through the side and center ventilators.

Bi-Level Air is discharged through the face vents and the floor vents.

Floor-Level Air is discharged through the floor vents, windshield defroster nozzle, side defroster nozzle and side ventilator.

Floor-Defrost Level Air is discharged through the windshield defroster nozzle, the floor vents, side defroster nozzle and side ventilator.
If the "Floor-Defrost" mode is selected, the A/C will be turned on automatically and "Fresh" mode will be activated.

Defrost-Level Air is discharged through the windshield defroster nozzle, side defroster nozzle and side ventilator.
If the "Defrost" mode is selected, the A/C will be turned turn on automatically and "Fresh" mode will be activated to improve windshield defrosting.

MAX A/C-Level Air is discharged through the face level vents.
If the "MAX A/C" mode is selected, the A/C will turn on automatically and "Recirculation" mode will be activated.
NOTE:o The air intake control switch will change to "
" mode when the ignition switch is turned "ON" with the MAX A/C mode selected.
o When you change to another mode from MAX A/C, the A/C and the air intake control switch are set to the following chart.

* The A/C or the air intake control switch returns to its former setting.

Off-Level Air is discharged through the windshield defroster nozzle, side defroster nozzle and side ventilator.
NOTE:If the air flow control is off, the air intake control is set to the fresh mode automatically.
Temperature Control
