Interior air is recirculated inside the vehicle.
Turn the air control dial to the MAX A/C
position when driving on a dusty road or
to help keep out traffic fumes.
Turn the air control dial to the MAX A/C
position for improved air conditioner perfor-
mance under high temperature and high hu-
midity conditions.
CAUTION
Do not use the recirculation mode for
long periods as it may cause the inte-
rior air to become stale and the win-
dows to fog up.

Operating tips
cClear snow and ice from the wiper
blades and air inlet in front of thewindshield. This improves heater op-
eration.
cTo defog the side windows more effec-
tively when in bi-level or ventilation
mode, close the center vent and direct
the side vents toward the side windows.
cA slight delay may be experienced when
changing air control buttons. This is not a
problem, it is only the system motors and
solenoids switching from one outlet to
another.

Operating tips
cKeep windows and sun roof closed while
the air conditioner is in operation.
cAfter parking in the sun, drive for two or
three minutes with the windows open to
vent hot air from the passenger compart-
ment. Then, close the windows. This
allows the air conditioner to cool the
interior more quickly.
cThe air conditioning system should be
operated for about ten minutes at
least once a month. This helps pre-
vent damage to the system due to lack
of lubrication.
cIf the engine coolant temperature gauge
exceeds the H (hot) position, turn the air
conditioner off. See ``If your vehicle over-
heats'' in the ``In case of emergency''
section for additional information.

AUTOMATIC OPERATION
Push the AUTOMATIC button and select the
desired temperature. The selected tempera-
ture and AUTO show in the display window.
The EATC heats or cools to achieve the set
temperature.
When in AUTOMATIC and weather conditions
require heat, air is sent to the floor. However,
a feature is included in the EATC to prevent
blowing cold air to the floor if the engine
coolant is not warm enough to allow heating.
In three or four minutes the fan speed gradu-
ally increases and airflow changes to the floor.
If unique conditions exist, such as window
fogging, the five override buttons allow spe-
cific airflow selection. The thumbwheel al-
lows you to adjust the fan speed to suit your
needs.
Temperature selection
TheTEMPbutton on the left side of
the control panel is for temperature selec-
tion. The
side lowers the set tempera-
ture, and theside raises the set tem-
perature. Press and hold either side of the
button to rapidly change the temperature
setting in one degree increments to either
65ÉF (18ÉC) or 85ÉF (29ÉC). If you wantcontinuous maximum cooling, push the
side of the TEMP button until 60ÉF
(16ÉC) shows in the display window. The
EATC cools at maximum and disregards the
60ÉF (16ÉC) setting until a warmer tempera-
ture is selected. If you want continuous
maximum heating, push the
side of the
TEMP button until 90ÉF (32ÉC) shows in the
display window. The EATC provides maxi-
mum heat regardless of the 90ÉF (32ÉC)
setting until a cooler temperature is se-
lected.
Fan speed and thumbwheel
Your EATC automatically adjusts the fan
speed to the existing conditions. To control
the fan speed yourself, use the thumbwheel
located at the extreme right side of the
EATC control panel. Using the thumbwheel
cancels the automatic fan speed control,
and causes a
to appear in the display
window. Rotate the thumbwheel up for HI
speeds and down for LO speeds.
To return to auto fan control, press the
AUTOMATIC button.
Air flow control
Your EATC has five buttons which allow you
to make special selections. The buttons aregrouped in the middle of the EATC panel
and allow you to determine airflow location.
Pressing any of the air control buttons
changes airflow location only, and does not
affect the ability of the system to control
temperature or fan speed. Return to fully
automatic operation by pushing the AUTO-
MATIC button.
Push this button for airflow to the front and
rear floor outlets and windshield at the same
time. The
indicator light comes on,
and the display window shows the set tem-
perature.
Push this button to obtain maximum airflow
to the windshield. Adjust the temperature
setting as required for defrosting. The
indicator light comes on, and the
display window shows the set temperature.
When the outside temperature is about
45ÉF (7ÉC) or above, the air is dehumidified
to prevent window fogging.
Push this button to select airflow through

the A/C button is selected.
Push the MAX button to choose air recircu-
lation. In this mode the EATC system recir-
culates the air inside the vehicle rather than
drawing air from outside. Air is distributed
through the instrument panel ventilators
similar to
mode. Use this mode to rap-
idly cool the inside of the vehicle, or to
dehumidify the air inside the vehicle.
Activate the air conditioner in any of the
override modes listed above by pressing the
A/C button. The A/C indicator light comes
on to verify activation, and cooled air flows
from the vents. Fan speed continues to be
controlled by the EATC unless the fan
speed thumbwheel is used to override.English/metric mode
