Turning the EATC off
Press OFF. The Outside
Temperature (EXT) function will
continue to operate until the
ignition is turned off.
Automatic operation
Press AUTO and select the desired temperature. The selected
temperature and the word AUTO will appear in the display window. The
EATC system will either heat or cool to achieve the selected
temperature. The system will automatically determine fan speed, airflow
location and if fresh outside air or recirculated air is required. Fan speed
remains automatic unless the fan speed control is pressed or the steering
wheel controls (if equipped) are pressed.
When in AUTO and weather conditions require heat, air will be sent to
the floor. However, if the engine is not warm enough to provide heat, the
fan will not operate. In 3ó minutes or less, the fan speed will start to
increase and the airflow location will change to the floor area.
If unusual conditions exist (i.e.-window fogging, etc.), the manual
override controls allow you to select airflow locations and the fan control
allows you to adjust fan speed as necessary.
Temperature selection
The display window indicates the
selected temperature, function
(AUTO or one of the override
controls) and manual control of fan
speed (
) if automatic fan speed is
not desired.

To control the temperature, select
any temperature between 18ÉC
(65ÉF) and 29ÉC (85ÉF) by pressing
the temperature control.
For continuous maximum cooling, push the temperature control until
16ÉC (60ÉF) is shown in the display window. The EATC will continue
maximum cooling (disregarding the displayed temperature) until a
warmer temperature is selected by pressing the temperature control.
For continuous maximum heating, push the temperature control until
32ÉC (90ÉF) is shown in the display window. The EATC will continue
maximum heating (disregarding the displayed temperature) until a
cooler temperature is selected by pressing the temperature control.
Temperature conversion
Press MAX A/C and FRONTat
the same time (for one second) to
switch between Fahrenheit and
Celsius.
Your vehicle has an English/Metric (E/M) control to change your
electronic message center display from English to Metric. This control
will also change the temperature display. Refer toElectronic Message
Centerin theInstrumentationchapter.
Fan speed ()
When AUTO is pressed, fan speed is
adjusted automatically for existing
conditions. You can override fan
speed at any time. To control fan
speed manually, press the fan
control or the steering wheel fan
speed control to cancel automatic
fan speed operation. Press the
control up for higher fan speed or
down for lower fan speed. Press the

provided in this mode. The air will be heated or cooled based on the
temperature selection. For added customer comfort, the air
distributed through the floor ducts will be slightly warmer than the air
sent to the instrument panel registers.
²
-Allows for maximum heating by distributing outside air through
the floor ducts. However, the air cannot be cooled below the outside
temperature because the air conditioning does not operate in this
mode.
²
-Distributes outside air through the windshield defroster ducts
and the floor ducts. Heating and air conditioning capabilities are
provided in this mode. The air will be heated or cooled based on the
temperature selection. For added customer comfort, the air
distributed through the floor ducts will be slightly warmer than the air
sent to the windshield defroster ducts. If the temperature is about
10ÉC (50ÉF) or higher, the air conditioner will automatically
dehumidify the air to prevent fogging.
²FRONT
-Distributes outside air through the windshield defroster
ducts. It can be used to clear ice or fog from the windshield. If the
outside air temperature is about 10ÉC (50ÉF) or higher, the air
conditioner will automatically dehumidify the air to prevent fogging.
²OFF-Outside air is shut out and the fan will not operate. For short
periods of time only, use this mode to prevent undesirable odors from
entering the vehicle.
Displaying outside temperature
Press EXT to display the outside air
temperature. It will be displayed
until EXT is pressed again.
If the selected temperature is changed while the outside temperature is
displayed, the new temperature will be displayed for four seconds after it
is changed, then the outside temperature will return to the window.
If a manual override function is selected while the outside temperature is
displayed, the new function will be displayed for four seconds after it is

changed, then the outside temperature will return to the window along
with the override selection.
The outside temperature reading is most accurate when the vehicle is
moving. Higher readings may be obtained when the vehicle is not
moving. The readings that you get may not agree with temperatures
given on the radio due to differences in vehicle and station locations.
Operating tips
²In humid weather, select FRONTbefore driving. This will prevent
your windshield from fogging. After a few minutes, select any desired
position.
²To prevent humidity buildup inside the vehicle, don't drive with the
climate control system in the OFF position.
²Don't put objects under the front seat that will interfere with the
airflow to the back seats.
²Remove any snow, ice or leaves
from the air intake area (at the
bottom of the windshield).
²If your vehicle has been parked with the windows closed during hot
weather, the air conditioner will do a much faster job of cooling if you
drive for two or three minutes with the windows open. This will force
most of the hot, stale air out of the vehicle. Then operate the air
conditioner as you would normally.
²If the air conditioner works well in MAX A/C but not in normal A/C,
this may indicate that the cabin air filter (if equipped) needs to be
replaced.
²When placing objects on top of your instrument panel, be careful to
not place them over the defroster outlets. These objects can block
airflow and reduce your ability to see through your windshield. Also,
avoid placing small objects on top of your instrument panel. These
objects can fall down into the defroster outlets and block airflow and
possibly damage your climate control system.
