Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Manual Climate Control: Notes
The manual climate control system heats or cools the vehicle interior depending on the function selector position and the temperature selected. The function selector position determines heating or cooling and air distribution. The temperature blend control setting determines air temperature.
The manual climate control components are used to:
- select the air inlet source (outside or recirculated).
- select the blower motor speed.
- select the discharge air temperature (temperature blend).
- select the discharge air location (defrost, panel, floor).
- select the A/C compressor clutch operation.
