A/C controls
Just acquired a 1995 with 15,000 miles. Three qujck questions:
1. When I set the temp. to 65 so I get A/C, the button with vent/foot produces cold air, but if I try to change the flow to just vent, no floor, the A/C shuts off and I get warm air. How can I get A/C out of JUST the vent setting?
2. Second question-according to the owner's manual there is a pocket on the lower part of the door under the armrest. My doors have no such pocket-only a flat carpeted section. Am I missing something?
3. Last question-just below the door handle is a lever that I can move back and forth to lock/unlock. To the left of this lever is a white square that shows up when I move this lever. What does the white square indicate?
Thanks for your help.

A/C doesn't come on with HVAC set to vent .From the owners manual page 3-2
VENT: Air flows through the instrument panel vents. The air conditioning compressor does not work in VENT mode.
Question 2 -- On the arm rest that is on a hinge and pulls up to access compartment.
Question 3 -- Sounds like you are talking about the switch that operates the power locks and next to it is a Manual door lock/unlock slide mechanism.
