Manual Heating And Air Conditioning System — If Equipped

The controls for the manual system in this vehicle contain a series of outer rotary dials and inner push knobs. These comfort controls can be set to obtain desired interior conditions.

With the Three-Zone Temperature Control system, each front seat occupant can independently control the Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning operations coming from the outlets on their side of the vehicle.

The primary control for the rear blower is on the front climate control unit located on the instrument panel.

When the front control is in any position other than rear, the front control operates all the rear functions.

The rear airflow modes will mirror the front unit operation.

Rear Panel mode is automatically selected when the front control is in the Panel mode. When the front unit is in Bi-Level mode, airflow will be emitted from both the upper and lower rear outlets. When the front control is in Floor, Defrost, or Mix modes, airflow will be directed out of the rear floor outlets.

• In Floor and Mix mode the system will turn off Recirculation mode after five minutes of operation.
You can select Recirculation mode again if desired.
• Continuous use of the Recirculation mode may make the inside air stuffy and window fogging may occur.
Extended use of this mode is not recommended.
• In cold or damp weather, the use of the Recirculation mode will cause windows to fog on the inside because of moisture buildup inside the vehicle. For maximum defogging, select the outside air position.
