Air Conditioning Operation
To turn the air conditioning On or Off perform the
following steps:
•
Position the mode control button to the desired airflow
setting.
•
Set the front blower control to any desired speed.
•
Press the Snowflake (A/C) button which is located to
the right of the temperature control slide. An indicator
light on the Snowflake (A/C) button shows that the air
conditioning is On.
•
Press the Snowflake (A/C) button a second time to
turn the air conditioning Off.
NOTE: The compressor will not engage until the engine
has been running for several seconds. Slight changes in
engine speed or power may be noticed when the com-
pressor is on. This is a normal occurrence since the
compressor will cycle on and off to maintain comfort and
improve fuel economy.
Front Blower Control
The Front Blower controls the
amount of air delivered to the
passenger
compartment.
There are four blower speeds.
The fan speed increases as
you move the control clock-
wise. When the front blower
control is turned to OFF, the
blower will be turned off and
the system will be positioned
in recirculation mode.
