To find your comfort setting, start with the system in
automatic mode by depressing the AUTO-PUSH knob.
Adjust
the comfort setting by using the red and blue
buttons located below the digital display until you reach a
value of
75 OF (24"C), on the display. Give the vehicle
about
20 minutes to stabilize and then adjust the comfort
setting
if necessary, through the use of the red and blue
buttons. The display will show
the comfort setting for five
seconds and then it will show the outside temperature.
In cold weather, the system will delay turning on the fan
to avoid blowing cold air. The length
of the delay
depends on the engine coolant temperature and the
outside temperature. Rotating the AUTO FAN knob will
override this delay by turning off the automatic fan
mode and changing the fan speed. Your
automatic electronic climate control system has
two sun sensors located on the top of the instrument
panel that detect direct sunlight. To keep you and your
passengers comfortable, the system may supply cooler
air to the
side towards the sun. Be careful not to put
anything over these sun sensors. The automatic
electronic climate control system may not operate
correctly if these sensors are covered.
To change the automatic electronic climate control
display from an English display to a Metric display, hold
down the OFF button located in the Driver Information
Center for five seconds. The display in the Driver
Information Center will also change from an English to
a Metric display.
To return to an English display, repeat
the above procedure.
