The A/C-heater control (1) for the manual temperature control (MTC) single zone system allows one temperature setting for the entire vehicle. All controls are identified by ISO graphic symbols.

The heating-A/C system uses a combination of electrical and cable operated controls. These controls provide the vehicle operator with a number of setting options to help control the climate and comfort within the vehicle.

The A/C-heater control is located in the instrument panel and contains:

1. a rotary control for mode control of the discharged air (2).
2. a rotary control for fan speed selection and turning the heating-A/C system on and off (3).
3. a rotary control for temperature control of the discharged air (4).
4. a push-button control for recirculation control of the discharged air (5).
5. a push-button control for turning the A/C on and off (6).

The A/C-heater control cannot be repaired and, if faulty or damaged, it must be replaced. The control knobs for the A/C-heater control are available for service replacement.
