Climate Control
(OPTION)
With this system, you can control the
ventilation, heating and air conditioning
in your vehicle, or you can use the
automatic setting. Your vehicle also has
the flow-through ventilation system
described later in this section.
The digital screen displays the outside
temperature, the inside temperature
setting, and the fan speed. If the inside
temperature is changed, or if the system
is changed from OFF to any mode, the
inside temperature setting will be
displayed for several seconds before the
outside temperature is again displayed.
The air conditioner compressor operates
in all air conditioning positions, and in
(@
(Defrost) when the outside
temperature is above freezing. When
the air conditioner is on, you may
sometimes notice slight changes in your
vehicle's engine speed and power. This
is normal, because the Automatic
EIectronic Climate Control system is
designed to cycle the compressor
on
and off to keep the desired cooling and
to help your vehicle's fuel economy.
TEMP
SET:
This control sets the
interior temperature you want. Press
V
to lower the inside temperature
setting; press
A
to raise the setting.
The temperature you set will be
displayed on the digital screen.
Once you set the temperature you want,
the system will try to maintain this
temperature, whether you are using the
heating
or the cooling controls.
However, if you set the temperature for
60°F (16°C) or 90°F (3Z°C), the f a n will
stay on
3p
udess you select a
different speed.
Your Automatic Electronic Climate
Control system has three sensors. The
sun load sensor on top of the dashboard
detects increased interior temperature
caused by sunlight. To keep you
comfortable, it reduces the interior
temperature by as much as 5°F (3°C)
below the setting
on
the digital screen.
The outside air temperature sensor,
located on the right side of the upper
radiator support in the grille opening,
reads the outside temperature. This is
what you usually see on the display.
