2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue air conditioning

3-8
Auto Button
For the most efficient operation of the system, press the
AUTO button and set the temperature. The system will
select the best fan speed and airflow settings to keep you
comfortable. The air conditioning compressor will run if
the outside temperature is above 38
F (3.3
C). You
may notice a delay of three to four minutes before the
fan comes on. For the automatic system to function,
the temperature must be set between 61
F (16
C)
and 89
F (31
C).
If the temperature setting of 61
F (16
C) is chosen, the
system will remain at the maximum cooling setting and
fan speed. If the temperature is set at 89
F (31
C), the
system will remain at the maximum heat setting and fan
speed. Choosing either maximum setting will not cause
the system to heat or cool any faster.ECON (Economy Air Conditioning): Press the ECON
button to turn the compressor on and off. The indicator
light is illuminated when the compress is off. AUTO
will not be illuminated, but the system will maintain
automatic air delivery and fan speed control. The system
will attempt to control the temperature without the help
of the compressor.
Off: Press the OFF button to turn the system off. The
display will show OFF and the outside temperature.
Air Conditioning
On very hot days, open the windows long enough to
let hot, inside air escape. This reduces the time the air
conditioning compressor has to run, which should help
fuel economy.
For quick cool
-down on very hot days, use the vent
outlets and recirculation, along with the air conditioning.
If this setting is used for long periods of time, the air in
your vehicle may become too dry.

3-9
For normal cooling on hot days, use the vent outlets and
outside air with the air conditioning. The system will
bring in outside air and cool it.
On cool but sunny days, the sun may warm your upper
body, but your lower body may not be warm enough.
To remedy this, you can use bi
-level with the air
conditioning on. The system will bring in outside air and
direct it to your upper body, while sending slightly
warmed air to your lower body. You may notice this
temperature difference more at some times than others.
Heating
On cold days use the floor mode and the temperature
turned toward red, with a high fan setting. The system
will bring in outside air, heat it and send it to the
floor ducts.
If your vehicle has an engine coolant heater, you can use
it to help your system provide warm air faster when it's
cold outside (0
F (
-18
C) or lower). An engine
coolant heater warms the coolant your engine and
heating system use to provide heat. See ªEngine
Coolant Heaterº in the Index.Ventilation
For mild outside temperatures when little heating or
cooling is needed, use the vent outlets, a fan setting,
ECON and outside air to direct outside air through your
vehicle. Your vehicle also has the flow
-through
ventilation system described later in this section.
Defogging and Defrosting
Your system has two settings for clearing the front
and side windows. To defrost the windows quickly,
use the defrost button. To warm passengers while
keeping the windows clean, select defog by pressing
the MODE button.

3-11 Ventilation System
Change the direction of airflow by adjusting the vents.
To completely shut off airflow to the outlet move the
lever down. To open the outlet for airflow move the
lever up.
Your vehicle's flow
-through ventilation system supplies
outside air into the vehicle when it is moving. Outside
air will also enter the vehicle when the air conditioning
fan is running.Ventilation Tips

Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow or
any other obstruction, such as leaves. The heater and
defroster will work far better, reducing the chance of
fogging the inside of your windows.

When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, set the
mode to floor and the fan to the highest speed for a
few moments before driving off. This helps clear the
intake ducts of snow and moisture and reduces the
chance of fogging the inside of your windows.

Keep the air path under the front seats clear of
objects. This helps air to circulate throughout
your vehicle.

7-20 Fuel System Inspection
Inspect the complete fuel system for damage or leaks.
Engine Cooling System Inspection
Inspect the hoses and have them replaced if they are
cracked, swollen or deteriorated. Inspect all pipes,
fittings and clamps; replace as needed. Clean the outside
of the radiator and air conditioning condenser. To help
ensure proper operation, a pressure test of the cooling
system and pressure cap is recommended at least once
a year.
Throttle System Inspection
Inspect the throttle system for interference or binding,
and for damaged or missing parts. Replace parts as
needed. Replace any components that have high effort
or excessive wear. Do not lubricate accelerator and
cruise control cables.
Brake System Inspection
Inspect the complete system. Inspect brake lines and
hoses for proper hook
-up, binding, leaks, cracks,
chafing, etc. Inspect disc brake pads for wear and rotors
for surface condition. Inspect other brake parts,
including calipers, parking brake, etc. Check parking
brake adjustment. You may need to have your brakes
inspected more often if your driving habits or conditions
result in frequent braking.
