Temperature Knob
The middle knob on the control panel lets you select
the desired air temperature in your vehicle. This knob
will allow you to adjust the interior air temperature
independently of the function knob setting. Move the
knob clockwise toward 82 for warmer air. Move the
knob counterclockwise toward 66 for cooler air.
Full Hot: If you turn the temperature knob past
82 F (28 C), the system will go into the “full hot”
mode. The system will remain at that maximum heating
setting and the fan will blow at the speed the fan knob is
set to. If the fan is in AUTO, it will run at full speed.
Full Cold: If you turn the temperature knob past
66 F (19 C), the system will go into the “full cold”
mode. The system will remain at that maximum cooling
setting and the fan will blow at the speed the fan knob is
set to. If the fan is in AUTO, it will run at full speed.
Choosing either maximum setting will not cause the
system to heat or cool any faster.
Mode Knob - Automatic Operation
The right knob on the control panel allows you to
choose the direction of air delivery. When the system is
set for automatic operation, sensors will control the air
delivery mode. Air will come primarily from the floor or
instrument panel outlets, with some air directed to the
windshield to prevent fogging.
When the system is in AUTO mode, the air conditioning
light will turn on, and the recirculation and outside air
lights turn off. With the system in full auto control
(both the fan and mode knobs in AUTO), you still
have the ability to override any function. However,
continually overriding the outside air or the A/C
compressor will limit the ability of the system to cool
the vehicle quickly.
If you push a button for a function which is not
available, the light next to that button will flash three
times to alert you that it’s not available.
To find your comfort zone, start with the 74 F (23 C)
setting and allow about 20 minutes for the system to
adjust the temperature if necessary.
