Fan control knob
Located on the left side of the heating and ventilation control panel. Controls the fan speed. The control knob has four speed positions. To increase the airflow, turn the knob to the HI position; to decrease the airflow, turn it to the LO position. To turn off the fan, turn the knob to the OFF position.
Temperature selection knob
The middle knob on the control panel allows you to select the desired temperature in the car. This knob allows you to adjust the desired temperature regardless of the position of the knob, air direction control.
Turn the knob clockwise to the red sector for warm air. Turn the knob counterclockwise to the blue sector for cool air.
Air Direction Control Knob
The right knob on the control panel will allow you to select the direction of air movement. The control knob can be placed in any position between the two air direction modes to mix the air flow.
Heating and ventilation controls with air conditioning (if equipped)
Fan control knob
Works the same as in the previous chapter.
If the A/C is on, moving the control knob to the OFF position turns off the A/C compressor. In the OFF position, air will flow through the floor vents while driving.
You cannot change the direction of air movement. This is normal for the OFF position.
Temperature selection knob
Works the same as in the previous chapter.
Air Direction Control Knob
Works the same as in the previous chapter.
Rear heating and air conditioning controls (if equipped)
If your vehicle has one of these systems, you can decrease or increase air flow through the rear fan nozzles. Depending on the system and the selected position of the control knob, you can send cooler or warmer air to the rear of the car.
Air conditioning controls (without heating) the back of the car (if equipped)
If your vehicle has this feature, the controls are located above the front and second seats. These controls allow you to decrease or increase airflow through the rear vents.
To control the rear vents, you must turn on the air conditioning system on the front panel. If the air conditioning system in the instrument panel is not turned on, the rear air conditioning system can only be used to circulate air.
To operate the rear air conditioning system while the front is on, simply turn the control knob to the desired position.
To use the rear controls, first turn the control knob on the front panel to the REAR CNTL position. The rear controls can then be used to decrease or increase the airflow.
Rear heating (without air conditioning) (if equipped)
If your vehicle has this feature, the control switch is located on the instrument panel.
To increase or decrease the airflow to the floor fan nozzles, move the switch labeled REAR HEAT to the desired position.
The switch has three positions for the air flow rate. To increase the flow of heated air, move the switch to the HIGH position. To reduce the flow of heated air, move the switch to LOW. To turn off the fan, turn the switch to the OFF position.
Heating and air conditioning in the rear (if equipped)
If your vehicle has a combined rear heating and air conditioning system, the controls allow you to adjust the temperature, direction and strength of the airflow.
To adjust the temperature, turn the control knob on the right side of the control panel. For warm air, clockwise to the red sector, for cold air, counterclockwise.
To adjust the direction of air movement, use the central control knob. Turn it clockwise to direct the air flow through the lower nozzles, counterclockwise through the upper nozzles.
Typically, the upper nozzles are used for air conditioning, the lower nozzles for heating. The control knob can be placed in any position for air mixing.
To adjust the air flow rate, use the control knob on the left side of the panel, which you set to the desired position. To use the rear controls, set the fan control knob on the front panel to the RAER CNTL position.
Air conditioning
Use the air conditioner, for its best performance, with the windows closed.
The air recirculation button is located between the fan and temperature control knobs, prevents air from entering the cabin from outside, maximizes air conditioning efficiency and fuel consumption. In this position, the air cools faster. When a comfortable temperature in the cabin is reached, turn off the recirculation. The recirculation button does not work when the right control knob on the panel is in the position between HEATER and DEFROST.
A/C button between the temperature and air direction knobs, turns on the air conditioner to cool the air, used on hot days.
When the A/C button is on, turn the temperature control knob to the MAX position for maximum cooling. In this position, the air will cool faster. After reaching a comfortable temperature in the cabin, turn the temperature control knob clockwise to select the normal cooling mode.
Heating
Use the heater with the windows closed. In cold weather, use the right control knob on the panel in the HEATER or VENT HEAT position, and the temperature control knob in the red sector. If you use a coolant heater before starting the engine in cold weather -20°F (-8°C) or lower, the heating system in the passenger compartment will heat the air faster.
Ventilation system
In good weather conditions, when neither heating nor air conditioning is needed, use the VENT position to draw air directly from outside into your vehicle. Air will enter the passenger compartment through the instrument panel fan nozzles.
These nozzles are located in the center and on the sides of the instrument panel, you can move them from side to side, up and down as you like. If you close one of the nozzles, air will flow with great force through the other open nozzles.
Adviсe
Remove snow, ice, leaves, etc. from the hood and grille under the hood. The heater will work better.
When getting into the car in cold weather, turn the fan control knob to the HI position for a while before driving the car. This will clear the pipelines of snow and moisture.
Do not store anything under the front seats. This will provide better air circulation.
The use of air deflectors on the hood improves the condition of heating and air conditioning.
Elimination of fogging and freezing
On cold, humid days, use the right control stick in the DEFROST position to de-ice the windshield in exceptionally wet and cold temperature conditions. In this case, the temperature control knob should be in the red sector, and the fan control knob should be in the HI position.
Rear window heater (if there)
If you see lines crossing the rear window, then you have defogging mode. These lines heat the glass.
To turn on the heated rear window, press the R.DEF button next to the blower control knob.
The mode will only work if the ignition key is in the RUN position (D). For best results, clear as much snow and ice from the rear window as possible first.
The heater will turn itself off after a few minutes. If it is still needed, press the button again. You can also turn it off at any time by clicking on the button.
