AUTO (Automatic):When automatic operation is
active, the system will control the inside temperature,
the air delivery mode, and the fan speed.
Use the steps below to place the entire system in
automatic mode:
1. Press the AUTO button.
When AUTO is selected, the air conditioning
operation and air inlet mode will be automatically
controlled. The air conditioning compressor will run
when the outside temperature is over approximately
40ÉF (4ÉC). The air inlet will normally be set to
outside air. If it's hot outside, the air inlet will
automatically switch to recirculate inside air to help
quickly cool down your vehicle.
2. Set the driver's and passenger's temperature.
To ®nd your comfort setting, start with a 72ÉF (22ÉC)
temperature setting and allow about 20 minutes
for the system to regulate. Turn the driver's or
passenger's side temperature knob to adjust the
temperature setting as necessary. If you choose the
temperature setting of 60ÉF (15ÉC), the system
will remain at the maximum cooling setting. If you
choose the temperature setting of 90ÉF (32ÉC),
the system will remain at the maximum heat setting.
Choosing either maximum setting may not cause
the vehicle to heat or cool any faster.

can also be changed by pressing one of the memory
buttons (1 or 2) located on the driver's door. When

Anti-Lock Brake System Warning
Light
With the anti-lock brake
system, this light will come
on when you start your
engine and may stay on for
several seconds. That's
normal. A chime may also
sound when the light
comes on.
If the light stays on, or comes on when you're driving,
your vehicle needs service. If the regular brake
system warning light isn't on, you still have brakes, but
you don't have anti-lock brakes. If the regular brake
system warning light is also on, you don't have anti-lock
brakes and there's a problem with your regular
brakes. See
Brake System Warning Light on page 3-36earlier in this section.
The anti-lock brake system warning light should come
on brie¯y when you turn the ignition key to RUN. If
the light doesn't come on then, have it ®xed so it will be
ready to warn you if there is a problem.
Engine Coolant Temperature Gage
This gage shows the engine coolant temperature. If the
gage pointer moves into the red area, it means that
your engine coolant has overheated. If you have been
operating your vehicle under normal driving conditions,
you should pull off the road, stop your vehicle and
turn off the engine as soon as possible.
See
Engine Overheating on page 5-26for more
