Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

Climate Control

Temperature Controls:





Turn the driver temperature control (Fig. 2) or passenger temperature control to the blue area for a cooler temperature, or the red area for a warmer temperature.

The temperature controls adjust the cabin air temperature not the outlet air temperature. Moderate adjustments are best.

Defog/Defrost:

To defrost the windshield's interior press the A/C (snowflake) icon (Fig. 2) until it illuminates and switch off the air recirculation control. Set the air distribution control straight up to direct air to the windshield and increase the air volume with the fan control switch. For best operation, close the left, center, and right panel air outlets; turn the left side window defroster outlet left to the point of resistance and the right side window defroster outlet right to the point of resistance.

To defrost the windshield's exterior turn on the windshield wipers, set the air distribution control to defrost position and increase the air volume with the fan control switch.

To defrost the rear windshield press the rear window defroster button (Fig. 2). To turn it off, press the button again, or allow it to turn off automatically in 12 minutes

Air Recirculation (REST):

Press the recirculation button (Fig. 2) to prevent outside air (dust and annoying odors) from entering the vehicle's interior. To cancel, press the button again. Use this feature to continue warming the vehicle's interior for up to 30 minutes after the engine is shut off. To initiate, simply remove the key or turn it to the ACC or OFF/LOCK position - then press the recirculation button. This feature will turn off automatically after 30 minutes.
