Your EATC has six buttons which allow you to make special
selections. The buttons are located along the bottom edge of the
EATC Control and allow you to determine where the air will be
discharged. Pressing any override button changes the air
discharge location only. It does not affect the ability of the
system to control temperature or the fan speed. Return to fully
automatic operation by pushing the AUTOMATIC button.
[IP07200( X)07/94]
MAX A/C Button
[IP07300( X)03/95]
MAX A/C allows for faster cooling because air is drawn from
inside the vehicle. Using inside air causes the fan to sound
louder which is normal for this selection. The display window
will change to indicate60ÊF (16ÊC) and MAXA/C. The fan will
run at high speed and the air flow will be from the instrument
panel registers. To exit and return to the previous temperature,
push AUTOMATIC or any of the other 5 override buttons.
