This section tells you how to make your air system work
for you. Your comfort control system uses
ozone-friendly
R- 134a refrigerant.
You can control the heating, cooling and ventilation in
your Catera. Guidelines for using these systems are
found later
in this section.
Electronic Climate Control (ECC)
If I
Fan Button
The button with the fan symbol adjusts the fan speed.
Press the
up arrow to increase fan speed and the down
arrow to decrease fan speed.
Driver’s Side Temperature Knob
The driver’s side TEMP/AUTO knob adjusts the air
temperature coming through the system. Turn the
TEMP/AUTO knob clockwise to increase the
temperature and counterclockwise to decrease the
temperature. Pressing this knob puts the climate control
system in an automatic mode. For more information, see
“Automatic Operation” later in this section.
Passenger’s Side Temperature Knob
The right front passenger can control the temperature
of heated air for hisher own zone, independent from
the driver’s temperature setting. The passenger’s
temperature can be set anywhere between 60
“F ( 16°C)
and
90°F (32°C).
To turn the system on, press the passenger’s side
TEMP/AUTO knob. Rotate the knob clockwise to
increase temperature and counterclockwise to decrease.
Pressing the knob again turns off the dual-zone function
and returns the system
to the one-zone function, where
the driver controls the climate.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Air Conditioning Heating
On
hot days, open the windows long enough to let hot
inside air escape. This reduces the time
it takes for your
vehicle to cool down. Then keep your windows closed
for the air conditioner to work its best.
The climate control system will cool and dehumidify the
air inside the vehicle. While
in the automatic operation
mode, the system will use recirculation as necessary to
cool the
air. You may also need to adjust the interior
temperature. Turn either TEMP/AUTO knob clockwise
to increase the temperature and counterclockwise to
decrease temperature. Adjust the fan speed as needed.
In order to obtain the maximum cool setting, both the
driver’s and passenger’s TEMP/AUTO knobs must be
turned to 60°F (16°C).
Adjust the interior temperature to your comfort level
by turning either TEMP/AUTO knob clockwise to
increase temperature
and counterclockwise to decrease
temperature. If the fan speed needs adjusting, press the
up or down arrow.
Outside air will be brought in and sent through the floor
outlets. The heater works best if you keep the windows
closed while using it.
In order to obtain the maximum heat setting, both the
driver’s and passenger’s TEMFVAUTO knobs must be
turned to
90°F (32°C).
