As the interior of the vehicle warms up to your comfort
set temperature, the fan speed will decrease and the
temperature output may become cooler.
If the interior
temperature continues to warm up due to heating from
the sun or outside temperature increases, the system
may switch to other air delivery modes (typically
DEFOG or BI-LEVEL).
A ljpical Hot Weather Example:
Your vehicle has been parked outside all day in hot
weather (above 7OoF/ 21
O
C) and you have set the driver
temperature at 73
O F
(23 "C) and have selected the
AUTO mode. The system will automatically adjust the
temperature output to maximum cooling. The blower
will start at a low speed momentarily to push the hot air
to the floor of the vehicle and then go to a higher blower
speed with cold airflow out of the instrument panel
outlets. A small amount of airflow will continue through
the lower ducts to cool the floor area.
The air intake may start in the recirculated mode for
maximum cooling performance. As the interior of the
vehicle cools down to your comfort set temperature,
the
fan speed will decrease and the temperature output may
become warmer. The air intake may shift from
recirculation to fresh air mode. If the interior continues
to cool due to a decrease,,,in the amount
of heat the
vehicle is absorbing from the sun or a decrease
in the
outside temperature, the system could switch to other air
delivery modes (typically BI-LEVEL or DEFOG).
Manual Settings
With the Dual Zone Electronic Climate Control, there
are several manual settings you can use to control the
system and override the AUTO operation. You can
program the fan speed,
air
delivery mode, air intake
mode and control the air conditioning operation using
these settings. The system will still determine the
temperature output level based on the driver-set
temperature and the passenger temperature offset.
%
FAN SPEED: Press the button with the fan switch
on it to manually lock in the current fan speed and to
stop the automatic fan speed control. Pressing the
arrows will delete AUTO from the digital display. The
fan graphics with the fan speed bars will be shown. To
increase the fan speed so that more
a i r
flows into the
vehicle, press the UP arrow on the fan switch. To
decrease the fan speed and airflow, press the DOWN
arrow. The AUTO button must be pressed to return to
the automatic fan control.
