*1  :Adjusted up or down in increments of 0.5 within a range of 15.0—29.0. When the fan is OFF, the temperature setting can be adjusted in increments of ±0.5.
*2  :Increases to the manual voltage that is closest to the auto or defroster correction voltage.
*3  :Decreases to the manual voltage that is closest to the auto or defroster correction voltage.
*4  :Engine coolant temperature correction takes precedence.
*5  :Returns to condition prior to defroster operation. However, if it had been off prior to defroster operation, it switches to automatic control.
