Automatic Operation
1. Press the AUTO button on the Automatic
Temperature Control (ATC) Panel.
2. Next, adjust the temperature you would like
the system to maintain by adjusting the driver
and front passenger temperature control but-
tons. Once the desired temperature is dis-
played, the system will achieve and automati-
cally maintain that comfort level.
3. When the system is set up for your comfort
level, it is not necessary to change the settings.
You will experience the greatest efficiency by
simply allowing the system to function automati-
cally.
NOTE:
• It is not necessary to move the tempera-
ture settings for cold or hot vehicles. The
system automatically adjusts the tem-
perature, mode and fan speed to provide
comfort as quickly as possible.
• The temperature can be displayed in U.S.
or Metric units by selecting the US/M
customer-programmable feature. Refer to
the "Electronic Vehicle Information Cen-
ter (EVIC) — Customer-Programmable
Features (SETUP)" in this section of the
manual.
To provide you with maximum comfort in the
Automatic mode, during cold start-ups, the
blower fan will remain on low until the engine
warms up. The blower will increase in speed
and transition into Auto mode.
Manual Operation
This system offers a full complement of manual
override features.
NOTE:
Each of these features operate indepen-
dently from each other. If any one feature is
controlled manually, temperature control
will continue to operate automatically.
Blower Control
There are seven fixed
blower speeds. Use the
outer dial control to regu-
late the amount of air
forced through the sys-
tem in any mode you se-
lect. The blower speed
increases as you move
the control clockwise and
decreases when you move the control counter-
clockwise.
The blower fan speed can be set to any fixed
speed by adjusting the blower control outer dial.
The fan will now operate at a fixed speed until
additional speeds are selected. This allows the
front occupants to control the volume of air
circulated in the vehicle and cancel the Auto
mode.
The operator can also select the direction of the
airflow by selecting one of the following
positions.
