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.
Control Components: Notes
The manual climate control system heats or cools (if equipped with A/C) the vehicle interior depending on the function selector position and the temperature selected. Function selector position determines heating or cooling (if equipped with A/C) and air distribution. The temperature blend control setting determines air temperature.
The manual climate control components are used to:
- select air inlet source (outside or recirculated).
- select blower motor speed.
- select discharge air temperature (temperature blend).
- select discharge air location (DEFROST, PANEL, FLOOR).
- select A/C compressor clutch operation (if equipped with A/C).
