[IP17100( GV)02/95]
Push the AUTOMATIC button and select the
desired temperature. The selected temperature

[IP17300( GV)02/95]
When in AUTOMATIC and weather conditions
require heat, air will be sent to the floor. But, 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.
For a short time the fan will be at low speed
and air directed to the windshield. In 3-1/2
minutes or less, the fan speed will start to
increase and the airflow will change to the floor
area.
*
[IP17400( GV)02/95]
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 speed
to suit your needs.
