Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine % FAN SPEEDS: Press the button with the fan
symbol
on it until AUTO is displayed on the screen.
At this setting, the fan speed is automatically controlled.
If it is cold outside, the blower may not run in the
maximum high fan speed right away. The system checks
the temperature
of the engine coolant to assure it is
warm enough to provide heat. When the engine coolant
is warm, the controller allows the fan
to gradually
increase to
a higher speed. This prevents cold air from
blowing into the passenger compartment. If
you want
the blower fan at a high speed, press the up arrow button
until
you see HI on the display. If you want the fan
speed to be automatic, but you like the fan speed to be
higher than the AUTO setting, press the fan symbol
button until HI AUTO is shown
on the display. If you
want the blower fan at
a low speed, press the down
arrow button until
LO is shown on the display. If you
want the fan speed to
run lower than the AUTO
setting, press the button until LO AUTO is shown
on the display.
OFF: Press this button to turn the system off. Fresh air
will continue to
flow through the vehicle, and the
system will try to maintain the previously
set
temperature. The outside temperature will show on the
display when the system
is OFF.
AC: Press this button to turn the air conditioning on and
off. The system will cool and dehumidify the air inside
the vehicle. In the
AUTO mode, the display will show
that
AC is active, but the air conditioning compressor
only operates when the system determines it
is needed.
RECIRCULATION: Press this button to limit the
amount
of fresh air entering your vehicle. This is helpful
when you are trying to cool the air quickly or limit odors
entering your vehicle.
In the AUTO mode, the system
will use recirculation as necessary
to cool the air.
Pressing the recirculation button will change the
operation to a manual mode and the air will recirculate
non-stop. Press this button again to turn
off the
recirculation feature.
If
you notice the windows fogging, press the
recirculation button to exit the recirculation mode.

The sensor monitors the sun’s solar radiation and is
located on top of the instrument panel near the
windshield. The
ECC panel uses this information to
automatically make the necessary temperature and
airflow adjustments to maintain your comfort.
Air Conditioning
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. Press the
AC button or the
TEMP/AUTO knob to turn
the system on and then select the proper
MODE to direct
airflow. The system will cool and dehumidify the air
inside the vehicle. Also while
in the AUTO mode, the
system will use recirculation as necessary to cool the air.
You may also need to adjust the interior temperature and
the fan speed as needed.
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 temperature.
Heating
Press the MODE buttdn to select heater. Adjust the
interior temperature to a comfortable level and if the fan
speed needs adjusting, press the up or down arrow.
Outside air will be brought in and sent through the floor,
air conditioning or bi-level outlets (depending on
the
condition). The heater works best if you keep your
windows closed while using
it.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Ventilation Tips
0 Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow or
any other obstruction (such as leaves).
The heater
and defroster will work far better, reducing the
chance of fogging the inside
of the windows.
0 When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, adjust the
fan to the highest speed for a few moments before
driving off. This helps clear the intake outlets of
snow and moisture, and reduces the chance of
fogging the inside
of the windows.
0 Keep the air path under the front seats clear of objects.
This helps circulate air throughout your vehicle.
Defrosting
Use DEFROST to remove fog or ice from the windshield
quickly
in extremely humid or cold conditions.
Press the DEFROST button. If you select DEFROST,
adjust the fan speed by pressing the fan button up or
down.
If you select DEFROST from AUTO, the system
will control the fan speed. The temperature also needs to
be adjusted by turning the TEMP/AUTO knob.
Note that recirculation
is not available in the defrost or
defog modes.
Rear Window Defogger
The lines you see on the
rear window warm the
glass. Press this button
to
turn on the rear defogger.
With it, the rear window
and both outside rearview
mirrors are heated.
The system will automatically shut off after 10 minutes.
If further defogging is desired, press the button again.
Do not attach a temporary vehicle license, tape or decals
across the defogger grid on the rear window.
NOTICE:
~~~
~
Don’t use a razor blade or something else sharp
on the inside of the rear window. If you do, you
could cut
or damage the warming grid or the
integrated rear window antenna, and the repairs
wouldn’t be covered by your warranty.
