Your vehicle has strategically placed electronic sensors that feed
information to the vehicle’s computer svstems. Your vehicle can control
the ventilation, heating and air conditidning automatically year round.
The outside temperature, inside temperature setting, €an speeds and the
ECC selection are displayed
on a digital screen.
When the
OFF button is selected, nothing is on, but air will still flow
through your vehicle
if you’re moving. The system will try to keep the air
at
the selected temperature, but it might not be able to maintain it if it’s
hot, or cold, outside.
The
OUTSIDE temperature is always displayed when your vehicle is
running.
You can change it from Celsius to Fahrenheit by pressing the
ENG/MET (English/Metric) button.

A/C Purge
If your vehicle is sitting out on a hot day and you have it set on AUTO,
the air will first flow out the floor air ducts for a few seconds. That is
normal. This is to
expel hot air in the air ducts. As the air is cooled. the
flow will move through the A/C outlets. If you start your vehicle with the
fan setting on HI it will skip the A/C Purge.
Cold Weather Purge
On cold days when your system is first turned on, in either the AUTO or
ECON setting? and the fan setting is not on HI, a small amount of air will
flow through thc defroster duct whilc the system is waiting for the engine
coolant
to warm up enough to provide hcat. This prevents your breath
from fogging your windshield. As the coolant warm up, the blower fan
specd
will gradually increase and air will flow from the heater outlets,
with some airflow to the windshield to prevent fogging under most normal
conditions.
Manually Recirculate Inside Air
u
There may be times whcn vou want less air from the outside. To
recirculate the air from thi inside, in the AUTO setting, just set the
temperature to 60” F (16* C) and adjust your fan speed:

Press this button to divide the air between the windshield and the heater
ducts.
This is useful when fog appears on the windshield or side glass due
to sudden rain or snowy conditions.

button until AUTO is
displayed on the
screen.
At this setting, the fan speed is controlled automatically.
If it is cold outside, the blower may not run in the maximum high fan
speed right away. The system checks the temperature of the coolant to
assure it is warm enough to provide heat. When thc coolant is warnl, the

controller allows the Can to gradually incrcase to a higher speed. This
prevcnts cold air from blowing into the passenger compartment.
If \/ou want the blowcr fan to run only at a ked high speed, press the
(upper) button
until you sce HI on the display.
If you want the fan speed to be automatic, but vou like the fan speed to be
higher than the AUTO setting. just press the fan button until HI/AUTO is
shown on thc display.
If you want the blowcr to ~LIII only at a fixed low speed, press the (lower)
huttot1 until LO is shown on the display.
Press this button to
removc fog or frost
from the windshield.
This setting sends most of the airflow to the windshield with only a small
amount to the floor outlets.
The fan speed will work automatically to maintain vour rsqussted interior
temperature.
If you need more air directed to yourbindshield, you should
select a higher fan speed.
in some cold start conditions, the AUTO blower fan speed may be limited
until the
engine cooling system warms up. This is normal to prevent
windshield fogging.
It will help if you first clear any ice and snow from the hood and the air
inlet
(it’s between the hood and the windshield).
