Heating and air conditioning climate control system panel
[CF04600(ALL)01/96]
The standard heating system and the heating portion of the
heating and air conditioning system are essentially identical.
There is one exception, however; the air conditioning
compressor may automatically engage when the Defrost position
is selected to aid in defogging and defrosting the inside glass.
When Defrost is selected, the A/C compressor will
automatically operate when the outside temperature is above
approximately40ÊF (4ÊC),whether or not the A/C button is
illuminated. Manual selection and illumination of the A/C
button in defrost mode does not override the automatic
compressor operation discussed above. Refer to the heating
system operating instructions covered previously for a more
detailed explanation of heating system operation.

Cooling your vehicle with outside air
*
[CF05950(ALL)01/96]
Cooling your vehicle with air conditioned outside air is quieter
but less economical than using recirculated air. It also has less
cooling capacity.
*
[CF06000(ALL)01/96]
To cool your vehicle using outside air:
[CF06100(ALL)01/96]1.
Turn the air intake selector button off (the outside air
position). The air conditioning unit directs outside air
through the instrument panel registers.
[CF06200(ALL)01/96]2.
Press one of the function selector buttons.
[CF06300(ALL)01/96]3.
Press the A/C button. The indicator light on the A/C button
will illuminate.
[CF06400(ALL)01/96]4.
Turn the temperature control knob to COOL.
[CF06500(ALL)01/96]5.
Turn the fan speed knob to the position of your choice.
[CF06600(ALL)01/96]6.
Make sure the registers in the instrument panel are open.
[CF06700(ALL)01/96]
During periods of high humidity, vapor may be emitted from
the air outlets when using the A/C with outside air. Correct
this by switching to recirculated air with the A/C button.
[CF06800(ALL)04/96]
Ventilating your vehicle with outside air
[CF06900(ALL)01/96]
In mild weather, you can ventilate your vehicle with outside air.
If the outside temperature is less than70ÊF (21ÊC), you can add
cool air to your vehicle without using air conditioning. You will
get better fuel economy this way.
[CF07000(ALL)01/96]
The procedure for ventilating your vehicle with the standard
heating system or with the air conditioning system is the same.
Refer to the previous section for instructions on how to ventilate
with outside air.

Automatic Temperature Control System
[CF08400(ALL)01/96]
The control for your Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) is
located at the center of the instrument panel above the radio.
The ATC operates only when the ignition key is turned to the
ON position and the vehicle is running.
[CF08500(ALL)05/96]
17-1/2 pica art:0040072-F[CF08600(ALL)05/96]
To turn the ATC on, push the AUTOMATIC button or any of
the five airflow function selector buttons:P,V,Q,S,or
R.
[CF08700(ALL)01/96]
To turn the ATC off, press the OFF button.
[CF08800(ALL)01/96]
To change the temperature in the display window, select any
temperature between65ÊF (18ÊC) and 85ÊF (29ÊC)using the

[CF08900(ALL)01/96]
The ATC maintains the temperature you select and
automatically controls the airflow for your comfort. It also
allows you to override the automatic operation of airflow and
fan speed with manual function selector buttons and the fan
speed dial.
[CF09000(ALL)01/96]
When you select the AUTOMATIC button, the system
determines airflow location and fan speed automatically. It also
automatically determines whether you will be receiving fresh
outside airflow, recirculated interior airflow, or a combination of
both. You can manually override the airflow source (outside or
recirculated air) and airflow location by selecting one of the
function selector buttons. You can also manually override the
fan speed by rotating the fan speed dial.
[CF09100(ALL)01/96]
Whether you operate in the AUTOMATIC mode or manually
override the AUTOMATIC mode settings, the ATC will continue
to maintain the air temperature you have selected. However, if
you choose to manually override the airflow location by
selecting one of the function selector buttons, you will also need
to select the A/C button if you desire cool air-conditioned air.
(Your ATC automatically operates the air conditioning [if
required] when you are in the AUTOMATIC mode without
illuminating the A/C button, but the system requires you to
manually select the A/C button if you desire A/C operation
when you manually override airflow location.)
[CF09200(ALL)01/96]
If you want continuous maximum cooling, push the
dside of
the TEMP button until60ÊF (16ÊC)shows in the display
window. The ATC will cool at its maximum level and disregard
the 60ÊF (16ÊC)setting until a warmer temperature is selected. If
you want continuous maximum heating, push the
cside of the
TEMP button until90ÊF (32ÊC)shows in the display window.
The ATC will provide maximum heat regardless of the90ÊF
(32ÊC) setting until a cooler temperature is selected.

[CF09300(ALL)01/96]
The display window and the function selector buttons indicate
how the system is operating. The display window shows the
selected temperature and displays AUTO if you are operating in
the AUTOMATIC mode. If you override the automatic mode by
selecting any of the function selector buttons, AUTO no longer
appears in the display window and the appropriate function
selector button(s) illuminate. The display window also indicates
manual (thumbwheel) control of the fan speed when a

Automatic Operation
[CF09450(ALL)01/96]
Push the AUTOMATIC button and select the desired
temperature. The selected temperature and AUTO appear in the
display window. The ATC heats or cools to achieve the set
temperature. It is important to note that if the ATC engages
your vehicle's air-conditioning, it will do so automatically
without illuminating the A/C button.
[CF09500(ALL)05/96]
When in AUTOMATIC and weather conditions require heat, air
is sent to the floor. However, a feature is included in the ATC
to prevent blowing cold air to the floor if the engine coolant is
not warm enough to provide heating. Within three or four
minutes (of determining the engine coolant is warm enough),
the fan speed gradually increases and airflow changes to the
floor.
[CF09600(ALL)05/96]
If specific conditions exist (such as window fogging), the five
override buttons allow specific airflow selection. The
thumbwheel allows you to adjust the fan speed to suit your
needs.
[CF09700(ALL)01/96]
Temperature Selection
[CF09800(ALL)01/96]
The
dTEMP
cbutton on the left side of the control panel is
for temperature selection. The
dside lowers the set
temperature, and the
cside raises the set temperature. Press
and hold either side of the button to rapidly change the
temperature setting in one degree increments to either65ÊF

70(18ÊC) or 85ÊF (29ÊC).Then, the set temperature jumps 5ÊF and
stops at either60ÊF (16ÊC),which is maximum cooling, or90ÊF
(32ÊC),which is maximum heating.
[CF09850(ALL)05/96]
Changing the Display Mode (English/Metric)
[CF09860(ALL)03/96]
To switch between the English and Metric display mode, press
the DEFROST and A/C buttons simultaneously while rotating
the fan speed dial upward until it stops moving. After one
second, the display will begin to toggle between English and
Metric.
[CF09900(ALL)01/96]
Fan Speed and Thumbwheel
[CF09925(ALL)01/96]
The ATC automatically adjusts the fan speed to the existing
conditions. To control the fan speed yourself, use the
thumbwheel located at the extreme right side of the ATC
control panel. Using the thumbwheel cancels the automatic fan
speed control, and causes a
Hto appear in the display window.
Rotate the thumbwheel up for HI speeds and down for LO
speeds.
[CF09960(ALL)01/96]
To return to auto fan control, press the AUTOMATIC button.
[CF10000(ALL)01/96]
Airflow Function Selector Buttons
[CF10100(ALL)01/96]
Your ATC has five buttons which allow you to make special
selections for airflow. The buttons are grouped in the middle of
the ATC panel and allow you to determine airflow location.
Pressing any of the function selector buttons illuminates the
button pushed and directs airflow to the appropriate location.
The temperature of the airflow will still be automatically
controlled. Return to fully automatic operation by pushing the
AUTOMATIC button.
