With this setting, the air conditioning compressor cycles when needed to
cool the air and it's all automatic. In cold weather when the system senses
the need
for heat, the airflow will be directed out the floor ducts. As the r--T
interior temperature approaches the desired setting, the blower speed will
decrease and the airflow could be directed through the defroster and floor
ducts.
To maintain interior comfort, the airflow may move to the
instrument panel air outlets and floor ducts (Bi-Level).
On bright sunny
days in cold weather, the airflow may come out
of the A/C outlets
(Bi-Level mode) to maintain comfort and prevent stuffiness.
Electronic Climate Control Features
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 the defroster duct while the system is waiting for the engine
coolant to warm up enough to provide heat. This prevents your breath
from fogging your windshield. As the coolant warms up, the blower fan
speed will gradually increase and air will flow from the heater outlets, .. 3
with some airflow to the windshield to prevent fogging under most normal
conditions.
MANUALLY RECIRCULATE INSIDE AIR
There may be times when you want less air from the outside. To
recirculate the air from the inside, in the AUTO setting, just set the
temperature to
60" F (16O 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.
FAN SPEEDS
Press the fan symbol button
until AUTO is displayed on
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 the coolant is warm, the
controller allows the fan to gradually increase to a higher speed. This
prevents cold air from blowing into the passenger compartment.
If you want the blower fan to run only at a fixed high speed, press the
(upper) button until you see
HI on the display.
If you want the fan speed to be automatic, but you like the fan speed to be
higher than the AUTO setting, just press the fan symbol button until
HI/AUTO is shown on the display.
If
you want the blower to run only at a fixed low speed, press the (lower)
button until
LO is shown on the display.
If you want the fan speed to run lower than the AUTO setting, press the
button until AUTO
LO is shown on the display.

the engine, make
it go a little faster than just idle. That is, push the
accelerator slightly. This uses less fuel
for the heat that you get and it
keeps the battery charged. You will need a well-charged battery to restart
the vehicle, and possibly for signaling later on with your headlamps. Let
the heater run for awhile.

If the coolant inside the coolant surge tank is boiling, don’t do anything
else until it cools down.
The coolant level should be visible inside the surge tank once the cap has
been removed.
If it isn’t, you may have a leak in the radiator hoses, heater
hoses, radiator, water pump or somewhere else in the cooling system.

An engine coolant heater can be a big help if you have to park outside in
very cold weather,

What to Do with Used Oil
Did you know that used engine oil contains certain elements that may be
unhealthy for your skin and could even cause cancer? Don’t let used oil
stay on your skin
for very long. Clean your skin and nails with soap and
:water, or a good hand cleaner. Wash or properly throw away clothing or
rags containing used engine oil. (See the manufacturer’s warnings about
the use and disposal
of oil products.)

Used oil can be a real threat to the environment. If you change your own
oil, be sure
to drain all free-flowing oil from the filter before disposal.
Don’t ever dispose of oil by putting it in the trash, pouring it on the
ground, into sewers, or
into streams or bodies of water. Instead, recycle it
by taking it to a place that collects used oil. If you have a problem
properly disposing
of your used oil, ask your dealer, a service station or a
local recycling center for help.

Your cooling system when hot is under a lot of pressure. If the ENGINE
COOLANT LOW message should appear on the Driver Information
Center,
you will need to add coolant.
If the ENGINE COOLANT LOW message does not appear, the coolant
is at the proper
fill level.
