296 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL
Panel Mode
Air comes from the outlets in the instrument panel.
Each of these outlets can be individually adjusted to
direct the flow of air. Moving the air vane knob on the
center outlets down, will close off the air flow from the
center outlets. The thumb-wheel next to the outboard
outlets can be rotated to regulate or shut off the air flow
from these outlets.
Bi-Level Mode
Air comes from both the instrument panel outlets,
floor outlets and defrost. A slight amount of air is
also directed through the side window demister
outlets.
NOTE: In many temperature positions, the Bi-Level
mode is designed to provide cooler air out of the panel
outlets and warmer air from the floor outlets.
Floor Mode
Air comes from the floor outlets. A slight amount of
air is directed through the defrost and side window
demister outlets.
Mix Mode
Air comes from the floor, defrost and side window
demist outlets. This mode works best in cold or
snowy conditions. It allows you to stay comfortable
while keeping the windshield clear.
Defrost Mode
Air comes from the windshield and side window
demist outlets. Use this setting when necessary to
defrost your windshield and side windows.
NOTE: While operating in the other modes, the system
will not automatically sense the presence of fog, mist or
ice on the windshield. “Defrost” mode must be manually
selected to clear the windshield and side glass.
