94 [IP03300(ALL)03/95]Function selector knob
[IP03351(ALL)04/95]
The function selector knob controls airflow to
the inside of the vehicle.
[IP03401(ALL)03/95]
MAX A/C
[IP03450(ALL)03/95]
MAX A/C uses recirculated air to cool the
vehicle. It allows for faster cooling but is noisier
than A/C. The airflow will be from the
instrument panel registers.
[IP03501(ALL)03/95]
A/C
[IP03550(ALL)04/95]
A/C uses outside air to cool the vehicle. It is
quieter that MAX A/C, but not as economical.
The airflow will be from the instrument panel
registers.
[IP03601(ALL)03/95]
VENT
[IP03650(ALL)03/95]
VENT brings in outside air through the
instrument panel registers. It can be used for
heating or ventilating.
[IP03701(ALL)03/95]
OFF
[IP03750(ALL)03/95]
In OFF, outside air is shut out and the fan will
not operate.
[IP03801(ALL)04/95]
S(Panel and floor)
[IP03850(ALL)04/95]
This brings in outside air through the instrument
panel registers and the front and rear floor
ducts. It can be used for heating or ventilating.
[IP03901(ALL)04/95]
R(Floor)
[IP03950(ALL)04/95]
This allows for maximum heating. The airflow is
from the front and rear floor ducts.

P(Floor and defrost)
[IP04050(ALL)04/95]
This brings in outside air through the floor ducts
and the windshield defroster ducts. It can be
used for heating or ventilation.
[IP04100(ALL)04/95]
V(Defrost)
[IP04150(ALL)04/95]
This brings in outside air through the
windshield defroster ducts. It can be used to
clear ice or fog from the windshield.

Electronic Automatic Temperature Control
System
*
[IP04725(ALL)02/95]
The control for your Electronic Automatic
Temperature Control (EATC) is located at the
center of the instrument panel in the Integrated
Control Panel and will operate only when the
ignition is turned on to the ON position.
*
[IP04825(ALL)02/95]
The EATC feature will maintain the temperature
you select and automatically control the airflow
for your comfort. It also allows you to override
the automatic operation with manual override
buttons.

To turn your EATC on, press the AUTO button
or any of the six manual override buttons along
the bottom of the control.
[IP05125(ALL)03/95]
To turn your EATC off, press the OFF button.
When the system is off, the Display window will
be blank (dark).
[IP05225(ALL)02/95]
If you select AUTO, the system will
automatically determine fan speed and airflow
location. If a manual override button is selected,
your selection determines airflow location only.
Fan speed remains automatic unless you
override it by pressing either side of the FAN
speed button located at the extreme left of the
control panel.
[IP05325(ALL)03/95]
To change the temperature, select any
temperature between65ÊF (18ÊC) and 85ÊF (29ÊC)
by pressing the
aor
bside of the TEMP
button. The EATC will display the selected
temperature.
[IP05400(ALL)04/95]
To change the temperature display from
Farenheit to Celsius, depress the MAX A/C and
VF-DEF at the same time and hold them
down for about a second. To change back to the
original setting, repeat the process. If the battery
is disconnected, the display will revert to
Fahrenheit and must be reset to Celsius.
[IP05425(ALL)03/95]
If you want continuous maximum cooling, press
the
bside of the TEMP button until60ÊF (16ÊC)
is shown in the display window. Your EATC
will cool at maximum and disregard the60ÊF
(16ÊC) setting until you select a warmer
temperature with the
aside of the TEMP
button. If you want continuous maximum
heating, press the
aside of the TEMP button
until90ÊF (32ÊC) isshown in the display
window. Your EATC will provide maximum
heat regardless of the90ÊF (32ÊC)setting until
you select a cooler temperature with the
bside
of the TEMP button.

99 [IP06025(ALL)03/95]
When in AUTO 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. The EATC will direct
the airflow to the windshield at low fan speed.
In 3-1/2 minutes or less, the fan speed will start
to increase and the airflow will change to the
floor area.
[IP06100(ALL)03/95]
When in AUTO and weather conditions require
cooling, the EATC will use outside air or
recirculated air, depending on the temperature
that is selected.
[IP06125(ALL)04/95]
If unusual conditions exist (i.e., window fogging,
etc.), the six manual override buttons allow you
to select special air discharge locations. The fan
speed button allows you to adjust the fan speed
to suit your needs.

[IP06225(ALL)03/95]
Temperature selection
[IP06325(ALL)04/95]
The TEMP button at the upper left of the
Control is for temperature selection. The
aside
of the TEMP button will increase the set
temperature and the
bside of the TEMP button
will lower the set temperature. Pressing the
button and releasing it will change the set
temperature one degree. Holding either side of
the button in will rapidly change the
temperature setting in one degree increments to
either65ÊF (18ÊC) or 85ÊF (29ÊC).Then, the set
temperature will jump 5ÊF(3ÊC) andstop at
either60ÊF (16ÊC)which is maximum cooling or
90ÊF (32ÊC)which is maximum heating.
[IP06525(ALL)02/95]
The average temperature range used is between
68ÊF (20ÊC) and 78ÊF (26ÊC).Changing the
temperature setting by several degrees outside
this range or overriding to 60Ê or90ÊF (16Ê or
32ÊC) asdescribed above will not speed up the
heating or cooling process.
