Automatic Operation
Press the AUTO-PUSH knob when you want the system
to automatically adjust the interior temperature to your
preference. When the system is set for automatic
operation, air will come from the floor, upper or the
windshield outlets depending on the temperature inside
the vehicle, the outside temperature and the sun load.
Fan speed will vary as the system reaches and maintains
the comfort setting you have selected.
To find your comfort setting, start with the system in
automatic mode by pressing 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°F (24"C), on the display. Give the vehicle
about
20 minutes to stabilize and then readjust the
comfort setting if necessary. 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.
I A I
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 toward 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, push the
OFF
button located in the Driver Information Center (DIC) for
two seconds. The display
in the DIC will also change from
an English
to a Metric display. To return to an English
display, repeat
the above procedure.

Manual Operation
You may override the automatic airflow distribution by
rotating the AUTO-PUSH knob. After you rotate this
knob, the comfort setting will be displayed for five
seconds, then the outside temperature will be displayed.
The fan control will remain
in the automatic control
mode unless you rotate the AUTO
FAN knob to select a
manual fan speed.
fl UPPER: This setting directs airflow through the
@.
upper air outlets located in the instrument panel and
door panels.
fl BI-LEVEL: This setting directs the airflow
through both the upper air outlets and the lower floor
outlets. There is also a small amount of air directed to
the front defroster and the side window defrosters.
tflo HEAT This setting directs most of the airflow to
the lower floor outlets with some airflow directed to the
side window defrosters. There is also a small amount of
airflow directed to the front defroster.
w ' # DEFOG: This setting directs the majority of the
airflow to the lower floor outlets and the front defroster.
A
small amount of airflow is directed to the side window
defroster outlets.
This mode can be useful to remove the
moisture from the inside of the windshield when the
outside temperature
is cold or the humidity is high.
DEF (Defrost): This setting directs the majority of
the airflow to the windshield with some airflow to the
side window defrosters and lower floor outlets. To
increase the fan speed, rotate the AUTO
FAN knob to
the right.
RECIRC: Press this button to limit the amount of
outside air entering your vehicle. This
is helpful when
you are trying to cool the interior of
the vehicle quickly
or limit the amount of outside air entering your vehicle
for some other reason. The RECIRC button and the
AUTO-PUSH knob may be selected at the same time.
The system will remain in RECIRC until the ignition is
turned off, then the system will return back to the
previously selected mode. RECIRC may be selected in
all manual airflow modes except front defrost.
3-5
Operating the RECIRC mode in cold temperatures or
under high humidity conditions may cause moisture
to
form on the inside of the windshield. If this condition
occurs, deselect the RECIRC button.
A/C ON: Press this button to turn the air conditioning
on and
off. If the system is operating in the automatic
mode, the A/C
ON indicator light will automatically
illuminate. In the auto mode, the A/C compressor will
only operate when the system determines
it is needed.
OFF: Rotate the AUTO-PUSH knob to OFF. Turning
the system off will cause the fan to turn off and the
airflow to be directed
out the lower floor outlets. The
system will still try to keep the interior of the vehicle at
the previously chosen comfort setting. The outside
temperature will show in the display when the system is set to
OFF.
Air Conditioning
The air conditioner cools, dehumidifies and filters the
air for the inside of the vehicle.
The air conditioning compressor is enabled in all modes
unless the A/C
ON button is in the off position
(indicator light will not be illuminated). However, the
air conditioning compressor will not operate when the
outside temperature is below
44°F (7°C). When the air
conditioner is on,
you may sometimes notice slight
changes in your vehicle's engine speed and power. This
is normal, because the system is designed
to cycle the
compressor on and off to keep the desired cooling and
help
fuel economy.
On very
hot days, open the windows long enough to let
the hot air out. This reduces the time required to cool the
interior
of the vehicle to a comfortable level. If the
system
is in the automatic mode (AUTO-PUSH knob
indicator light is
on), during very hot days the system
will automatically
go to the RECIRC mode and the
temperature door will be positioned
at the full cold
position for maximum cooling. You can choose
the
extreme comfort setting of 60°F (16"C), but the
system
will not cool any faster by choosing the extreme
comfort setting.
