Control Switches

Temperature control dial

This dial controls temperature. Turn it
clockwise for hot and counterclockwise
for cold.

NOTE

(Type A)

When the mode is set to  ,   or a
position in between them with the fan
control dial in a position other than 0 and
the temperature control dial in the
maximum cold position, the air intake
selector switches to the recirculated air
position and the A/C turns on
automatically.
If A/C is not desired, press the A/C switch
to turn it off.

Fan control dial

This dial allows variable fan speeds.
The fan has seven speeds.

Mode selector dial

Turn the mode selector dial to select
airflow mode (page 5-6).

NOTE



The mode selector dial can be set at the
intermediate positions ( ) between each
mode. Set the dial to an intermediate
position if you want to split the airflow
between the two modes.



For example, when the mode selector
dial is at the   position between the 
and   positions, airflow from the floor
vent is less than that of the   position.

A/C switch

Press the A/C switch to turn the air
conditioner on. The indicator light on the
switch will illuminate when the fan control
dial is in any position except OFF.
 
Press the switch once again to turn the air
conditioner off.

NOTE

The air conditioner may not function when
the outside temperature approaches 0 °C
(32 °F).

Air intake selector

This switch controls the source of air
entering the vehicle.
 
Outside or recirculated air positions can be
selected. Press the switch to select outside/
recirculated air positions.

Recirculated air position (indicator light
illuminated)

Outside air is shut off. Use this position
when going through tunnels, driving in
congested traffic (high engine exhaust
areas) or when quick cooling is desired.

Outside air position (indicator light
