Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The outside temperature sensor is located near the front
grille. The sensor
can be affected by road or engine heat
during idling, slow driving or when the engine is first
started after a short trip. In order
to ensure proper
automatic climate control operation, the outside air
temperature display may not update
as quickly as
expected. This is to allow the air surrounding the outside
temperature sensor to be as close
to the actual outside
conditions as possible. This is determined by how much
time has elapsed since the vehicle has been turned
off
and by vehicle speed.
Mode Button
Press this button to deliver air through the floor, middle
or windshield outlets. The system will stay in the
selected mode until the
MODE button is pushed again.
Press the up or down arrow to cycle through the
available modes.
Automatic Operation
When the system is set for automatic operation, sensors
will control the air delivery mode. Air will come from
the floor, middle or windshield outlets. The fan speed
will vary as the system maintains the selected
temperature setting. Be
careful not to put anything over the solar sensor
located
in the middle of the instrument panel near the
windshield. This sensor is used by the automatic system
to regulate temperature.
To find your comfort zone, start with the 75°F (24°C)
setting and allow about 30 minutes for the system to
regulate.
Turn the TEMP/AUTO knob to adjust the
temperature if necessary. If
you choose 60°F ( 16"C),
the system will remain at that maximum cooling setting
and will not regulate fan speed. If
you choose the
temperature of
90°F (32"C), the system will remain at
that maximum heating setting and will not regulate fan
speed. Choosing either maximum setting will not cause
the system to heat or cool any faster.
With the automatic setting, the air conditioning
compressor automatically cycles when needed to cool
the air. In cold weather, when the system senses the need
for heat, the airflow will be directed
out the floor
outlets.
As the interior temperature approaches a desired
setting, the blower speed will decrease. To maintain
interior comfort, the airflow may move to the instrument
panel air outlets and floor outlets (bi-level mode). On
bright sunny days
in cold weather, the airflow may come
out of the air conditioning outlets (AC mode) to
maintain comfort and prevent stuffiness.

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. The system will cool and dehumidify the air inside
the vehicle. In the

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
