HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING
3
Introduction
Your vehicles heating and air
conditioning system operates in three
distinct modes; manual, automatic,
and maximum defrost. Each mode
provides the driver with the greatest
level of comfort and convenience while
maintaining the exibility of traditional
systems.
The recommended
mode for all
conditions that do not require
windshield defrosting is the automatic
mode on
page 3-83. This mode is
capable of maintaining cab comfort
under various driving conditions
without driver interaction.
The cab
heater and A/C controls are
located together in the center of the
dash just to the right of the steering
column. The sleeper heater and A/C
controls are located in the sleeper
cabinet.
WARNING!
Do not drive with visibility reduced
by fog, condensation, or frost on the
windshield. Your view may be ob
-
scured, which may result in death,
personal injury, equipment or prop
-
erty damage. For clear visibility and
safe driving it is extremely important
for you to follow the instructions per
-
taining to the function and use of the
ventilation/heating and defogging/de
-
frosting system. If in doubt, consult
your dealer. Maximum heating output
and fast defrosting can be obtained
only after the engine has reached op
-
erating temperature.
WARNING!
Exhaust fumes from the engine con-
tain carbon monoxide, a colorless and
odorless gas. Do not breathe the
engine exhaust gas. A poorly main

tained, damaged or corroded exhaust
system can allow carbon monoxide to
enter the cab. Entry of carbon monox
-
ide into the cab is also possible from

-
erly maintain your vehicle could cause

resulting in death or personal injury.
