LEV: This setting brings in outside air and 

directs it two ways. Half of the air is directed through
the instrument panel outlets. Most of the remaining air is
directed through the floor ducts and a little to the defrost
and side window vents.

HTR: This setting sends most of the air through the
ducts near the floor. The rest comes out of the defroster
and side window vents.

BLEND: This setting allows half of the air to go to 
the floor ducts and half to the defroster and side 
window vents. The air conditioning compressor will

coolant heater warms the coolant your engine and
heating system use to provide heat. See “Engine Coolant
Heater” in the Index.

Air Conditioning

On very hot days, open the windows long enough 
to let hot, inside air escape. This reduces the time for 
the vehicle to cool down.

For a quick cool

-

down on very hot days, use MAX 

with the temperature levers all the way in the blue area.
If this setting is used for long periods of time, the air in
your vehicle may become too dry.

For normal cooling on hot days, use VENT with the
temperature levers in the blue area. The system will
bring in outside air and cool it.
