Using Automatic Climate Control
The automatic climate control
system adjusts the fan speed and
airflow levels to maintain the interior
temperature you select.
Press the AUTO button.
Set the desired temperature by
turning the temperature control
dial. You will see AUTO in the
system's display.
The system automatically selects the
proper mix of conditioned and/or
heated air that will, as quickly as
possible, raise or lower the interior
temperature to your preference.
When you set the temperature to its
lower limit ( ) or its upper limit
( ), the system runs at full
cooling or heating only. It does not
regulate the interior temperature.
In cold weather, the fan will not
come on automatically until the
heater starts to develop warm air.
Semi-automatic Operation
You can manually select various
functions of the climate control
system when it is in full automatic
mode. All other features remain
automatically controlled.
Making any manual selection causes
the word AUTO in the display to go
out.
