PRE-SET AND SELF-ADJUSTMENT BEFORE INSTALLATION
NOTE: The temperature control cable is self-adjusting with a firm movement of the temperature control lever to the extreme right of the slot (WARM)

attempting to perform the sell-adjustment operation. The preset adjustment may be performed either in the vehicle, with the cable installed or before
installation.
