CJ3:




With this system, the driver and passenger can maintain separate temperatures. The system works best if you keep your windows closed while using it.

Fan Control
The left knob labeled FAN controls the fan speed selection.

Driver's Temperature Knob
The center knob sets the temperature for the Driver's outlets. Turn the knob toward red (to the right) for warmer air. Turn it toward blue (to the left) for cooler air.

Passenger's Temperature Lever
The bottom lever adjusts the air temperature on the Passenger's side independent of the temperature set by he driver. Slide the lever toward the right to raise the temperature. Slide the lever toward the left to lower the temperature.

Mode Knob
The right knob has several settings to control the direction of airflow. To access the various modes available, turn the mode button to the desired mode:

MAX: This setting recirculates much of the air inside your vehicle and sends it through the instrument panel outlets. The air conditioning compressor will run automatically in this setting unless the outside temperature is below 40°F (4°C). (Even when the compressor is running, you can control the temperature.)

NORM: This setting brings in outside air and sends it through the instrument panel outlets. The air conditioning compressor will run automatically this setting unless the outside temperature is below 40°F (4°C). (Even when the compressor is running, you can control the temperature.)

BI-LEV: This settling 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. The air conditioning compressor will run automatically in this setting unless the outside temperature is below 40°F (4°C). (Even when the compressor is running, you can control the temperature.)

VENT: This setting brings in outside air and directs it through the instrument panel outlets.

HTR: This setting sends mot 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 an side window vents. The air conditioning compressor will run automatically in this setting unless the outside temperature is below 40°F (4°C). (Even when the compressor is running, you can control the temperature

FRONT: This setting directs most of the air through the defroster and side window vents. Some of the air goes to the floor ducts and the side window vents. The air conditioning compressor will run automatically in this setting unless the outside temperature is below 40°F (4°C). (Even when the compressor is running, you can control the temperature.)

Defogging and Defrosting
Your system has two settings for clearing the front and side windows. To defrost the windows quickly, use FRONT with the temperature knob all the way in the red area.
For maximum defroster performance, set both driver and passenger temperature controls to the warmest setting.
To warm passengers while keeping the windows clear, use BLEND.
