When AUTO is selected, the recirculated air feature operates automatically
for existing conditions. However, the air recirculation indicator will not be
lit. If the recirculated air is selected while in AUTO operation, the DEATC
system will be disabled and you will return to manual operation with the
recirculated air indicator lit and with the A/C operating.
To return to automatic recirculated air operation, press AUTO.
Do not leave the DEATC system in recirculated air operation for
extended periods of time while the system is in a heating mode or in
cold/damp conditions as this may cause interior fogging of the front, side
and rear windows.

airflow is directed. To return to fully automatic control, press AUTO.
When a manual airflow override control is selected, the DEATC system
will turn off the AUTO indicator and display the indicators of all

customer comfort, the air distributed through the floor ducts may be
slightly warmer than the air sent to the windshield defroster ducts.
(defrost) ÐDistributes outside air through the windshield defroster
ducts, the demister outlets and the center console registers. It can be
used to clear ice or fog from the windshield. If the outside air temperature
is about 6ÉC (43ÉF) or higher, the air conditioner will automatically
dehumidify the air to reduce fogging. (Note that the A/C indicator does

for 4 seconds. Following this, the outside temperature display will return
to the window.
If the outside temperature is displayed while the DEATC system is in the
OFF mode and the DEATC is turned on, the driver and passenger
temperatures will be displayed for 4 seconds. Following this, the outside
temperature display will return to the window.
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 conditions, place the climate control system in
orRbefore driving. This will reduce fogging on your windshield.
Once the windshield has been cleared, operate the climate control
system as desired.
²To reduce humidity buildup inside the vehicle in cold weather
conditions, don't drive with the climate control system in the OFF or
MAX A/C position.
²To reduce humidity buildup inside the vehicle in warm weather
conditions, don't drive with the climate control system in the OFF
position.
²Under normal weather conditions, your vehicle's climate control
system should be left in any position other than MAX A/C or OFF
when the vehicle is parked. This allows the vehicle to ªbreatheº
through the outside air inlet duct.
²Under snowy or dirty weather conditions, your vehicle's climate
control system should be left in the OFF position when the vehicle is
parked. This allows the climate control system to be free from
contamination of outside pollutants.
²If your vehicle has been parked with the windows closed during warm
weather conditions, the air conditioner will perform more efficiently in
cooling the vehicle if driven for two or three minutes with the
windows open. This will force most of the hot, stale air out of the
vehicle. Once the vehicle has been ªaired outº, operate the climate
control system as desired.
²Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of
the windshield.
