In approximately 31¤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.
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.
If your vehicle has an English/Metric (E/M) control to change your
electronic instrument cluster (if equipped) and the message center
(if equipped) from English to Metric, this control will also change the
temperature display. Refer toElectronic Message Centerin the
Instrumentationchapter.

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 to cancel automatic fan
speed operation or use the steering
wheel fan speed control. Press the
control up for higher fan speed or
down for lower fan speed.
To return to automatic fan operation, press AUTO.
The display will show
and a bar
graph to indicate manual fan
operation and relative speed.
Manual override controls
The override controls allow you to
determine where airflow is directed.
To return to full automatic control,
press AUTO.
The air conditioning compressor can
operate in all modes except
. It will also operate only when required
when AUTO has been selected. However, the air conditioning will only
function if the outside temperature is about 6ÉC (43ÉF) or higher.
Since the air conditioner removes considerable moisture from the air
during operation, it is normal if clear water drips on the ground under
the air conditioner drain while the system is working and even after you
have stopped the vehicle.
²MAX A/C-Uses recirculated air to cool the vehicle. The temperature
display will remain unchanged and air will be cooled based on the
selected temperature. To exit, press AUTO or any other override
controls. MAX A/C is noisier than normal A/C but more economical
and will cool the inside of the vehicle faster. Airflow is from the
instrument panel registers. This mode can also be used to prevent
undesirable odors from entering the vehicle.

To prevent electrical shock, do not use your heater with
ungrounded electrical systems or two-pronged (cheater)
adapters.
Guarding against exhaust fumes
Although odorless and colorless, carbon monoxide is present in exhaust
fumes. Take precautions to avoid its dangerous effects.
If you ever smell exhaust fumes of any kind inside your vehicle,
have your dealer inspect and fix your vehicle immediately. Do
not drive if you smell exhaust fumes. These fumes are harmful and
could kill you.
Have the exhaust and body ventilation systems checked whenever:
²the vehicle is raised for service
²the sound of the exhaust system changes
²the vehicle has been damaged in a collision
WARNING:Engine exhaust, some of its constituents, and
certain vehicle components contain or emit chemicals known to
the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. In addition, certain fluids contained in vehicles and
certain products of component wear contain or emit chemicals known
to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm.
Important ventilating information
If the engine is idling while the vehicle is stopped in an open area for
long periods of time, open the windows at least 2.5 cm (one inch).
Adjust the heating or air conditioning (if equipped) to bring in fresh air.
Improve vehicle ventilation by keeping all air inlet vents clear of snow,
leaves and other debris.
