ing solution, wiping parallel to the
heating elements. Labels can be
peeled off after soaking with
warm water.
Do not use scrapers, sharp instru-
ments, or abrasive window clean-
ers on the interior surface of the
window.
Keep all objects a safe distance

3. When the system is set up for your
comfort level, it is not necessary to
change the settings. You will experi-
ence the greatest efficiency by simply
allowing the system to function auto-
matically.
NOTE:
It is not necessary to move thetemperature settings for cold or
hot vehicles. The system auto-
matically adjusts the tempera-
ture, mode and fan speed to pro-
vide comfort as quickly as
possible.
The temperature can be dis- played in English or Metric units
by selecting the “Display Units
of Measure in” customer-
programmable feature. Refer to
the “Electronic Vehicle Informa-
tion Center (EVIC) — Customer-
Programmable Features” in this
Section.
To provide you with maximum com-
fort in the automatic mode, during
cold start-ups, the blower fan will re-
main on low until the engine warms
up. The fan will engage immediately if the Defrost mode is selected, or by
changing the front blower knob set-
ting
Manual Operation
This system offers a full complement
of manual override features. The
AUTO symbol in the front ATC dis-
play will be turned off when the sys-
tem is being used in the manual mode.
NOTE:
Each of these features operate in-
dependently from each other. If
any one feature is controlled
manually, the temperature doors
will continue to operate automati-
cally.
There are seven
fixed blower
speeds. Use the
outer dial control
to regulate the
amount of air
forced through
the system in any mode you select.
The blower speed increases as you
move the control clockwise and
decreases when you move the con-
trol counter-clockwise. The blower fan speed can be set to any
fixed speed by adjusting the blower
control outer dial. The fan will now
operate at a fixed speed until addi-
tional speeds are selected. This allows
the front occupants to control the vol-
ume of air circulated in the vehicle
and cancel the Auto mode.
The operator can also select the direc-
tion of the airflow by selecting one of
the following positions.
Panel Mode
Air is directed through the outlets
in the instrument panel. These
outlets can be adjusted for direc-
tion, and turned on or off to control
airflow.
NOTE:
For maximum airflow to the rear,
the center instrument panel out-
lets can be directed toward the
rear seat passengers.216
Floor ModeAir comes from the floor outlets.
SUMMER OPERATION
The engine cooling system in air con-
ditioned vehicles must be protected
with a high-quality antifreeze coolant
to provide proper corrosion protection
and to protect against engine over-
heating. A solution of 50% ethylene
glycol antifreeze coolant and 50%
water is recommended. Refer to
“Maintenance Procedures” in “Main-
taining Your Vehicle” for proper cool-
ant selection.
WINTER OPERATION
To ensure the best possible heater and
defroster performance, make sure the
engine cooling system is functioning
properly and the proper amount,
type, and concentration of coolant is
used. Refer to “Maintenance Proce-
dures” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle”
for proper coolant selection. Use of
the air Recirculation mode during
Winter months is not recommended,
because it may cause window fogging. VACATION/STORAGE
Before you store your vehicle, or keep
it out of service (i.e., vacation) for two
weeks or more, run the air condition-
ing system at idle for about five min-
utes, in fresh air with the blower set-
ting on high. This will ensure
adequate system lubrication to mini-
mize the possibility of compressor
damage when the system is started
again.
WINDOW FOGGING
Vehicle windows tend to fog on the
inside in mild, rainy and/or humid
weather. To clear the windows, select
Defrost or Mix mode and increase the
front blower speed. Do not use the
Recirculation mode without A/C for
long periods, as fogging may occur.
OUTSIDE AIR INTAKE
Make sure the air intake, located di-
rectly in front of the windshield, is
free of obstructions such as leaves.
Leaves collected in the air intake may
reduce airflow, and if they enter the
plenum they could plug the water
drains. In Winter months make sure
the air intake is clear of ice, slush and
snow.
OPERATING TIPS
A/C AIR FILTER
On vehicles equipped with Automatic
Temperature Control (ATC), the cli-
mate control system filters out dust
and pollen from the air. Refer to “Air
Conditioning” in “Maintaining Your
Vehicle” for filter replacement in-
structions.220
