INSTRUMENT PANEL
Automatic Climate Control System with
Rear Air Conditioning and Heating Sys-
tem
Automatic Operation
AUTO (Automatic Fan):
When this position is selected on the fan
control, the system automatically adjusts
the fan speed.
Temperature Setting:
The system uses the outside temperature,
passenger compartment air temperature,
and solar load sensors to maintain the
chosen temperature setting.
AUTO (Automatic Mode):
1) Turn the mode control to the AUTO
position.
2) Adjust the temperature to a comfortable
setting between 31°F (16°C) and 89°F
(31°C). Choosing the coldest or warm-
est temperature setting does not cause
3-11
the system to heat or cool any faster. In
cold weather; the system starts at lower
fan speeds to avoid blowing cold air
into the vehicle until warmer air is avail-
able. The system begins blowing air at
the floor, but can change modes auto-
matically as the vehicle warms up to
maintain the chosen temperature set-
ting. The length of time needed to warm
the interior depends on the outside
temperature and temperature of the
vehicle.
3) Wait 20 to 30 minutes for the system to
stabilize in order for the system to regu-
late automatically. Then adjust the tem-
perature as necessary to find your
comfort setting. Do not cover the solar
1732674
sensor located in the center of the
instrument panel near the windshield.
For more information on the solar sen-
sor, refer to "Sensors" later in this sec-
tion.
(AUTO RECIRCULATION):
Using the previous temperature setting,
the system automatically controls the air
inlet to supply fresh outside air or recircu-
late the interior air to cool the car faster.
The indicator light on the recirculation but-
ton lights whenever the system switches to
recirculation. Switch to outside air by
pressing the Outside Air button or by
pressing the recirculation button, if the
vehicle has a rear climate control system.
See AUX for more information. The next
time AUTO fan or AUTO mode is selected,
the air inlet resets back to AUTO operation.
Manual Operation
(Fan):
Turn the left knob to increase or decrease
the fan speed. In any setting other than off,
the fan runs continuously with the ignition
on. To turn off the air completely, turn the
fan to 0 and select the recirculation button.
Temperature Control:
Turn the center knob to increase or
decrease the temperature inside your vehi-
cle.
Use the right knob to select from the fol-
lowing modes:
There is one position between each mode
to finely adjust airflow position.
(Vent):
This mode directs air to the instrument
panel outlets.
(Bi-Level):
This mode spilits the air between the
instrument panel outlets and the floor out-
lets.
(Floor):
This mode directs most of the air to the
floor outlets with some air directed to the
windshield and side window outlets.
