WARNING!(Continued)
•Do not place anything on the seat or seatback that
insulates against heat, such as a blanket or cushion.
This may cause the seat heater to overheat. Sitting
in a seat that has been overheated could cause
serious burns due to the increased surface tempera-
ture of the seat.
Manual Front Seat Adjustment
On models equipped with manual seats, the adjusting
bar is located at the front of the seats, near the floor.
While sitting in the seat, lift up on the bar and move the
seat forward or rearward. Release the bar once you have
reached the desired position. Then, using body pressure,
move forward and rearward on the seat to be sure that
the seat adjusters have latched.

Automatic Operation
Operation of the system is quite simple.
1. Turn the Mode Control knob (right knob) and theBlower Control knob (left knob) to AUTO.
NOTE: The AUTO position performs best for front seat
occupants only.
2. Dial in the temperature you wouldlike the system to maintain by ro-
tating the Temperature Control
knob (center knob). Once the com-
fort level is selected, the system will
maintain that level automatically
using the heating system. Should
the desired comfort level require air
conditioning, the system will auto-
matically make the adjustment. You will experience the greatest efficiency by simply
allowing the system to function automatically. Selecting
the “O” (OFF) position on the blower control stops the
system completely and closes the outside air intake.
The recommended setting for maximum comfort for the
average person is 72°F (22°C); however, this may vary.
NOTE:
•
The temperature setting can be adjusted at anytime
without affecting automatic operation.
• Pushing the Air Conditioning Control button while in
AUTO mode will cause the LED in the control button
to flash three times and then turn off. This indicates
that the system is in AUTO mode and requesting the
air conditioning is not necessary.
• If your air conditioning performance seems lower than
expected, check the front of the A/C condenser located
in front of the radiator for an accumulation of dirt or
