Operating tips
²In humid weather, selectbefore 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
under the hood).
²If the air conditioner works well in MAX A/C, but
not in A/C, this may indicate that the cabin air
filter (if equipped) needs to be replaced.
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 your air conditioner as you
would normally.
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.

Turning the EATC off
Press OFF. The
Outside Temperature
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.
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 be at
a low speed and the air will be directed to the
windshield. In 3
1¤2minutes 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.
