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 buttons. Once the de-
sired temperature is displayed, the system will
achieve and automatically 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 experi-
ence the greatest efficiency by simply allowing the
system to function automatically.
NOTE:
• It is not necessary to move the temperature settings for
cold or hot vehicles. The system automatically adjusts
the temperature, 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
Center (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 independently from
each other. If any one feature is controlled manually, tem-
perature control will continue to operate automatically.
