Automatic Temperature Controls
NOTE: The numbers on the temperature dial represent
a comfort setting when the Mode knob is set to AUTO,
and not the actual air temperature.
Turn the mode control (on the right) knob to AUTO, and
place the blower control (on the left) to either LO AUTO
or HI AUTO. The LO AUTO position should be used for

front seat occupants only. The HI AUTO position should
be used when more airflow is desired, or when rear seat
occupants are present. Dial in the comfort setting you
would like the system to maintain by rotating the driver's
or passenger's control knob. Once the comfort level is
selected, the system will maintain that level automati-
cally using the heating system. Should the desired com-
fort level require air conditioning, the system will auto-
matically make the adjustment.
NOTE: The temperature setting can be adjusted at any
time without affecting automatic control operation. How-
ever, if the driver and/or passenger temperature knobs
are set to the full hot or full cold positions, the air
temperature out of the ducts will be full hot or full cold
respectively. With the temperature setting in these posi-
tions, the system does not attempt automatic comfort
control.
