system was set for FRONT however, it comes back on
in AUTO if the engine is off for more than 40 minutes.
The air conditioner and heater work best if you keep the
windows closed while using them. Your vehicle has the
flow-through ventilation system described later in this
section.
The digital displays shows the inside temperature setting
or the outside temperature. The outside temperature
sensor is most accurate when the vehicle is moving.
During stops, the outside temperature display shows the
previous driving temperature for best accuracy and
system control.
The display also shows the fan speed when it is in
manual mode, AUTO when the system is in automatic
mode, and OFF when the system is turned off.
If you have the LS or Electronic cluster, press the E/M
(EnglisMetric) button near the odometer to cycle the
display between
O F
and "C. Pressing the E/M button
will also cycle all other displays between English and
metric units.
Manual Mode
In manual mode, you select the direction of air flow and
fan speed. The system will determine the amount of
heating or cooling needed to maintain the temperature
you select. Air conditioning can be selected or turned off
as desired, except in the DEFOG and FRONT modes.
Automatic Mode
In automatic mode, the amount of air conditioning or
heating, direction of air flow, and fan speed are
automatically controlled to maintain the temperature
you select. You can also manually control either the fan
speed or direction of air flow, leaving the other function
in automatic. Air conditioning can be selected or turned
off as desired, except in the DEFOG and FRONT
modes.
When the engine is cold, fan speed is kept low until
warm air is available.
When the system is set for FRONT defrost, the fan
speed starts low to reduce windshield fogging,
if any
snow is on the hood as you start driving. Fan speed will
increase briefly after short stops when the engine has
been turned off to reduce any stuffy feeling.
