ELECTRONIC AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL (EATC)
SYSTEM
The EATC system will maintain a
selected temperature and
automatically control airflow. You
can override automatic operation
with any of the override controls,
the fan speed control or the steering
wheel controls (if equipped).
Turning the EATC on
Press AUTO, any of the override
controls or the fan speed control.
The EATC will only operate when
the vehicle is running.
Turning the EATC system 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 outside air or recirculated air is required. Fan speed
remains automatic unless the fan speed control is pressed or the steering
wheel fan speed control (if equipped) 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 approximately 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.
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 FRONT
at
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 theDriver
controlschapter.

If a manual override function is selected while the outside temperature is
displayed, the new function will be displayed for four seconds after it is
changed, then the outside temperature will return to the window along
with the override selection.
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, select
(Defrost) before 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, do not 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, do not 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.
²Do not place objects under the front seat that will interfere with the
airflow to the rear seats.
²Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of
the windshield.

Global Positioning Satellites are used to deliver location information
(only at the request of the vehicle occupants or in the event an airbag
deploys) and may not be available if signal is obstructed. (If a signal is
unavailable, the last valid position obtained before the signal was
obstructed will be sent.)

Vehicle Communication System specialist will make all reasonable efforts
to contact the Public Safety service providers but cannot be held
responsible for their response time or their activities.
Drivers have the responsibility to pay primary attention to the road and
drive safely. A driver may want to pull over to a safe parking spot before
using Vehicle Communication System services. Drivers who allow
themselves to become distracted may cause an accident. Please use this
technology responsibly.
Due to the specialized Lincoln software contained within the phone, your
local Sprint PCS store is unable to provide service or replacement units.
Issues or questions about equipment including the wireless phone should

INTERIOR LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT RELEASE
Your vehicle is equipped with a mechanical interior luggage compartment
release handle that provides a means of escape for children and adults in
the event they become locked inside the luggage compartment.
Adults are advised to familiarize themselves with the operation and
location of the release handle.
To open the luggage compartment
door (lid) from the inside, pull the
illuminated ªTº shaped handle and
push up on the trunk lid. The
material that the handle is made of
will glow for hours in the darkness
of the luggage compartment
following brief exposure to ambient
light.
The ªTº shaped handle will be
located either on the luggage
compartment door (lid) or inside
the luggage compartment near the
tail lamps.
Keep vehicle doors and
luggage compartment
locked and keep keys out of a
child's reach. Unsupervised
children could lock themselves in
an open trunk and risk injury.
Children should be taught not to
play in vehicles.
On hot days, the temperature in the trunk or vehicle interior can
rise very quickly. Exposure of people or animals to these high
temperatures for even a short time can cause death or serious
heat-related injuries, including brain damage. Small children are
particularly at risk.
