Climate Control System
Fully-automatic Operation
To put the Automatic Climate Control in fully-automatic mode,
press the AUTO button and set the
fan control dial to AUTO, then set
the desired temperature by turning
the temperature control dial. You will see FULL AUTO in the system's
display. The light above the button also shows you which
mode, Recirculation or Fresh Air, is
selected.
The system automatically selects the proper mix of conditioned and/or
heated air that will, as quickly aspossible, raise or lower the interior
temperature from its current level to
the set temperature.
When you set the temperature to its lower limit (60°F/18°C) or its upper
limit (90°F/32°C), the system runs at full cooling or heating only. It does
not regulate the interior temperature.

climate control system completely
off. Keep the system completely off
only for short periods. To keep stale
