Automatic Operation
Press the AUTO
-PUSH knob when you want the
system to automatically adjust the interior temperature
to your preference. When the system is set for automatic
operation, air will come from the floor, the panel outlets
or the windshield outlets depending on the temperature
inside the vehicle, the outside temperature, the engine
coolant temperature and the sun load. Fan speed will
vary as the system reaches and maintains the comfort
setting you have selected.
To find your comfort setting, start with the system in
automatic mode by pressing the AUTO
-PUSH knob.
Adjust the comfort setting by using the red and blue
buttons located below the digital display until you
reach a setting of 75F (24C) on the display. Give the
vehicle about 30 minutes to stabilize and then readjust
the comfort setting if necessary. The display will show
the comfort setting for five seconds and then it will
show the outside temperature.In cold weather, the system will delay turning on the
fan to avoid blowing cold air. The length of the delay
depends on the engine coolant temperature and the
outside temperature. Turning the AUTO FAN knob
will override this delay by turning off the automatic fan
mode and changing the fan speed.
Your automatic electronic climate control system has a
sun sensor located on the top of the instrument panel
that detects direct sunlight. To keep you and your
passengers comfortable, the system may supply cooler
air to the side toward the sun. Be careful not to put
anything over this sun sensor. The automatic electronic
climate control system may not operate correctly if this
sensor is covered.
To change the automatic electronic climate control
display from an English display to a metric display,
push the OFF button located in the Driver Information
Center (DIC) for two seconds. The display in the DIC
will also change from an English to a metric display. To
return to an English display, repeat the above procedure.
