When in AUTOMATIC and weather conditions require heat, air
will be sent to the floor. However, a feature is included in your
EATC to prevent blowing cold air to the floor if the engine
coolant is not warm enough to allow heating. In 3 1/2 minutes
or less, the fan speed will start to increase and the air flow will
be to the floor area.
[IP05900( X)07/94]
If unusual conditions exist (i.e. window fogging, etc.), the six
manual override buttons allow you to select special air
discharge locations. A thumbwheel allows you to adjust the fan

The RED and BLUE buttons at the upper left of the Control are
for temperature selection. The RED button will increase the set
temperature and the BLUE button will lower the set
temperature. Pressing a button and releasing it will change the
set temperature one degree. Holding either button in will
rapidly change the temperature setting in one degree increments
to either65ÊF (18ÊC)(BLUE) or85ÊF (29ÊC)(RED). Then, the set
temperature will jump 5Ê and stop at either60ÊF (16ÊC)which is
maximum cooling or90ÊF (32ÊC)which is maximum heating.
When you select60ÊF (16ÊC) or 90ÊF (32ÊC), the fanwill go to
HI speed for maximum airflow.

Checking and Replacing Fuses
*
[SV42300(ALL)02/95]
If you need to check a fuse, follow these steps:
[SV43000(ALL)01/95]1.
Find the fuse panel, which is located in the left end of the
instrument panel. The power distribution box (described
earlier in this section) is found in the engine compartment,
mounted on a bracket attached to the left fender apron.
[SV43100(ALL)10/94]
To access the fuse panel, remove the fuse panel cover by
inserting your finger in the divot and pulling on the cover.
The underside of the cover contains four spare fuses. A fuse
pulling tool is located in the lower right corner of the fuse
panel in case you need to replace a blown fuse.
*
[SV43200(ALL)03/94]
The spare fuses for your vehicle are color coded as follows:
10 amp Ð red, 15 amp Ð light blue, 20 amp Ð natural, 30
amp Ð light green.
*
[SV43300(ALL)06/95]2.
On the fuse panel cover, find the number of the fuse you
want to check. The diagram on the cover tells you where to
locate the fuse on the panel.
*
[SV43400(ALL)06/95]3.
Check the fuse to see if it is blown. Look through the clear
side of the fuse to see if the metal wire inside is separated. If
it is, the fuse is blown and should be replaced.
