•Under normal weather conditions, your vehicle’s climate control
system should be left in any position other than the MAX A/C or OFF
when the vehicle is parked. This allows the vehicle to “breathe”
through the outside air inlet duct.
•Under 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.
•If 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 “aired out”, operate the climate
control system as desired.
•Do not put objects under the front seat which may interfere with the
airflow to the rear seats (if equipped).
•Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area (at the
bottom of the windshield and underneath the hood).
•Do not place objects over the defroster outlets. These objects can
block airflow and reduce visibility through your windshield. Avoid
placing small objects on top of the instrument panel. These objects
may fall down into the defroster outlets and block airflow, in addition
to, damaging the climate control system.
To aid in side window defogging/demisting in cold weather conditions:
1. Select the position that distributes air through the Panel and Floor.
2. Set the temperature control to full heat.
3. Set the fan speed to full fan.
4. Direct the outer panel vents towards the side windows.
5. To increase airflow to the outer panel vents, close the central panel
vents.
Do not place objects on top of the instrument panel as these
objects may become projectiles in a collision or sudden stop.

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.
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.
When in AUTO and weather conditions require heat, the EATC system
directs the majority of the airflow to the floor area. The system will allow
some airflow through the windshield defroster ducts to reduce window
fogging. However, if the engine is not warm enough to provide heat, the
fan will be at a low speed and the airflow will be directed to the
windshield. In approximately 3
12minutes or less, the fan speed will start
to increase and the airflow location will change to the floor.
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, A/C,
) or one of the
manual override controls) and
manual control of fan speed (
).
To control the temperature, select any temperature between 16°C (60°F)
and 32°C (90°F) by pressing the blue (cooler) or red (warmer) controls.
Temperature conversion
Press AUTO and
at the same time (for one second) to switch
between Fahrenheit and Celsius.

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 the automatic fan speed
operation. Press the control up for higher fan speed or down for lower
fan speed. The display will show (
) and a a bar graph to indicate
manual fan speed operation and relative speed.
To return to automatic fan operation, press AUTO.
A/C control
Used to manually enable or disable
the operation of the air conditioning
in all modes except
.Inall
modes, the air conditioning will only
function if the outside temperature
is about 6°C (43°F) or higher. When
manual A/C is selected, A/C will be
displayed in the display window.
In
, if the outside temperature
is about 6°C (43°F) or higher, the air conditioner will automatically
dehumidify the air to reduce window fogging. However, A/C will not be
displayed in the display window.
The air conditioning compressor can operate in all modes except OFF.
However, the air conditioning will only function if the outside
temperature is about 6°C (43°F) 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.

When AUTO is selected, the A/C operates automatically for existing
conditions and A/C will be displayed in the display window. If A/C is
selected while in AUTO operation, A/C will not be displayed in the
display window and the EATC system will remain in AUTO operation.
However, the EATC system will operate without the use of the air
conditioning. To return to automatic air conditioning operation, press
AUTO.
Recirculation control
Used to manually enable or disable
the operation of the recirculated air
operation in all modes except
.
The use of recirculated air when the
air conditioning is operating helps to
reduce the amount of time to cool
down the interior of the vehicle in
very hot conditions. Recirculated air
may also help to keep undesired
outside odors from reaching the vehicle interior. It is recommended to
allow the EATC system to automatically control the selection of outside
or recirculated air.
The recirculation control cannot be selected in the
, as interior
fogging may occur.
When AUTO is selected, the recirculated air feature operates
automatically for existing conditions. However,
will not be
displayed in the display window. If
is pressed again,will
not be displayed in the display window and the EATC system will remain
in AUTO operation. To return to automatic recirculated air operation,
press AUTO.
Do not leave the EATC 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.
