Turn the control knob to the left of the dial face to move the po inter
to the desired temperature. Depress the "LOW" or "H IGH" push butto n
to place the system in automatic ope ration. During winte r operation,
the system will not operate until the eng ine temperature reaches 125°F.
(approximately 4 mi nutes at 32
6
F.)
Eight fan speeds are used in ma intaining au tomatic temperature
control. The " LOW" button provides five low speed ranges. This
selection is gene rally sufficient for temperature cont rol when the
outside air is neither ext reme ly cold nor hot. The "H IGH " button
provides three additional fan speeds which may be required when the
outside air is considerably colder or wa rmer than the temperature
selected on the dial. In both the "LOW" and "H IGH" positions, the
best fan speed for the temperature condi tion is selected automatically.
When first turned on, the system will automatically wa rm or cool
the ca r at the fastest rate possible to obtain the comfort level selected.
The four adju stable instrument panel registe rs are used when can·
ditioned air is required to ma intain the se lected air tempe rature. Also,
if cooling is requ ired, two outlets under the in strument panel w ill pro·
vide ai r to coo l the floor area. The co ld air flow from these discharge
outlets can be regu lated by a slide contro l at each po rt outlet.
NOTE: Each of the two instrument cl uster registers are
provided with a shut·off knob which can limit or com·
pletely shut off the cold air flow from these regi sters.
Make sure these registers are open when first starting
the automatic temperature control system.
IMPORTANT: Do not set the tem p erature dial at the
maximum cold or h ot posit i on when the system is first
turned on . This will not i ncrease or decrease the cool
down or warm up rate. Instead . select the ultimate tem-
perature desired for you r comfort. (Recommended start-
up setting is 75°) . Starting the system at a maximum
setting will actu ally delay reaching the desired comfort
setting as seve ral adjustments may likely be required .
Allow t ime for the ca r interior to reach the temperature you have
selected before making any minor adjustment you may feel is necessary.
After a readjustment of the temperature setting, the system will auto-
matically operate to mainta in the comfort level se lected.

on its highest speed and maximum heat wi ll be directed to the
defroster ou tlets at the windshield.
