f unctions of the climate control
system when it is in f ull automatic
mode. All other f eatures remain
automatically controlled. In cold weather, the fan will not
come on automatically until the
heater starts to develop warm air.

cooling or heating only. It does not
regulate the interior temperature. The system automatically selects the
proper mix of conditioned and/or
heated air that will, as quickly as
possible, raise or lower the interior
temperature to your pref erence. The automatic climate control
system adjusts the f an speed and
airflow levels to maintain the interior
temperature you select.

a clear view through all the windows

turning the temperature control
