Using Automatic Climate Control
The Automatic Climate Control
system can adjust the fan speed and
airflow levels to maintain the interior
temperature you select.
1.
Press the AUTO button.
2.
Set the desired temperature with
the temperature control buttons.
You will see FULL AUTO in the
system's display.
The system automatically selects the
proper mix of conditioned and/or
heated air that will, as quickly as
possible, raise or lower the interior
temperature from its current level to
the set temperature. In FULL AUTO
the rear A/C control panel cannot be
used.
If you set the temperature to its
lower or its upper limit, the system
runs at full cooling or heating only. It
does not regulate the interior
temperature.
In cold weather, the fan will not
come on automatically until the
heater starts to develop warm air.
Manual Operation
You can manually select various
functions of the Climate Control
system when it is in FULL AUTO.
All other features remain
automatically controlled.
Manually selecting a function causes
the word FULL in the display to go
out.
To Turn Everything Off
Press the OFF button. However, a
lack of air flow can cause the
windows to fog up. It is
recommended that you keep the fan
on at all times so stale air and
moisture do not build up in the
interior and cause fogging.
