VOLTS
You can read battery
voltage on the voltmeter. If
it reads
less than 12 volts or
more than 16 volts while the
engine
is running, and it
stays there, you may have a
problem with the electrical
charging system.
Have it checked right away. Driving with the voltmeter
reading in the lower warning zone could drain
or
damage the battery. Driving with the voltmeter reading
in the upper warning zone could cause bulbs
to burn out
(especially headlamp bulbs), various vehicle modules to
shut down (due to overload protection) and the
possibility of a battery acid leak. If
you idle
the engine for a while, the voltmeter reading
might move into the red zone. If the reading stays in
the
red zone while you are driving, you may have a problem
with the electrical charging system. Have it checked.
While the voltmeter reads in the red zone, the battery
may not be able
to power certain electrical accessories,
like
ABS. (If this happens, the ABS light will come on.
See “Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light” in
this section.)
If
you must drive a short distance with the voltmeter
reading in a warning zone, turn
off all the accessories,
including the comfort controls and the audio system.

ABS
With the anti-lock brake
system, the light(s) will
come on when you
start
your engine and may stay
on for several seconds.
That’s normal.
If the light stays on, turn the ignition to OFF. Or, if the
light comes on when you’re driving, stop as soon as
possible and turn the ignition
off. Then start the engine again
to reset the
system. If the light still stays on, or
comes on again while you’re driving,
your Catera 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”
earlier in this section.
The anti-lock brake system warning light should come
on briefly when you turn the ignition key
to RUN. If the
light doesn’t come on then, have it fixed
so it will be
ready to warn you
if there is a problem.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Comfort Controls
This section tells you how to make your air system work
for you. Your comfort control system uses
ozone-friendly
R- 134a refrigerant.
You can control the heating, cooling and ventilation in
your Catera. Guidelines for using these systems are
found later
in this section.
Electronic Climate Control (ECC)
If I
Fan Button
The button with the fan symbol adjusts the fan speed.
Press the
up arrow to increase fan speed and the down
arrow to decrease fan speed.
Driver’s Side Temperature Knob
The driver’s side TEMP/AUTO knob adjusts the air
temperature coming through the system. Turn the
TEMP/AUTO knob clockwise to increase the
temperature and counterclockwise to decrease the
temperature. Pressing this knob puts the climate control
system in an automatic mode. For more information, see
“Automatic Operation” later in this section.
Passenger’s Side Temperature Knob
The right front passenger can control the temperature
of heated air for hisher own zone, independent from
the driver’s temperature setting. The passenger’s
temperature can be set anywhere between 60
“F ( 16°C)
and
90°F (32°C).
To turn the system on, press the passenger’s side
TEMP/AUTO knob. Rotate the knob clockwise to
increase temperature and counterclockwise to decrease.
Pressing the knob again turns off the dual-zone function
and returns the system
to the one-zone function, where
the driver controls the climate.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Air Conditioning Heating
On
hot days, open the windows long enough to let hot
inside air escape. This reduces the time
it takes for your
vehicle to cool down. Then keep your windows closed
for the air conditioner to work its best.
The climate control system will cool and dehumidify the
air inside the vehicle. While
in the automatic operation
mode, the system will use recirculation as necessary to
cool the
air. You may also need to adjust the interior
temperature. Turn either TEMP/AUTO knob clockwise
to increase the temperature and counterclockwise to
decrease temperature. Adjust the fan speed as needed.
In order to obtain the maximum cool setting, both the
driver’s and passenger’s TEMP/AUTO knobs must be
turned to 60°F (16°C).
Adjust the interior temperature to your comfort level
by turning either TEMP/AUTO knob clockwise to
increase temperature
and counterclockwise to decrease
temperature. If the fan speed needs adjusting, press the
up or down arrow.
Outside air will be brought in and sent through the floor
outlets. The heater works best if you keep the windows
closed while using it.
In order to obtain the maximum heat setting, both the
driver’s and passenger’s TEMFVAUTO knobs must be
turned to
90°F (32°C).

Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow or
any other obstruction (such as leaves). The heater
and defroster will work far better, reducing the
chance of fogging the inside of the windows.
When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, adjust the
fan to the highest speed for a few moments before
driving
off. This helps clear the intake outlets of
snow and moisture, and reduces the chance of
fogging the inside of the windows.
Keep the air path under the front seats clear of
objects. This helps circulate air throughout
your vehicle.
Passenger Compartment Air Filter
This ventilation system includes an air filter that helps to
remove dust, pollen, etc. from the air flowing into your
vehicle. A restriction in the airflow coming into the
passenger compartment could be the result of dirt
in the filter. For information about changing the filter,
see “Passenger Compartment Air Filter Replacement”
in
the Index. See the Maintenance Schedule booklet for
when to change the filter.
Defrosting
Use defrost to remove fog or ice from the windshield
quickly in extremely humid or cold conditions.
Press the defrost button on the control panel and adjust
the fan speed
to the highest position. Make sure that the
side air vents are opened. Rotate both TEMP/AUTO
knobs clockwise as needed to adjust the temperature.
To warm the foot area while in defrost, press the
MODE button until the heateddefrost symbol appears
(see “Manual Operation” earlier in this section).
Note that recirculation is not available in the
defrost mode.

The lines you see on the
rear window warm the
glass. With your vehicle’s
engine running, press this
button
to turn on the rear
defogger.
With it, the rear window and both outside rearview
mirrors
are heated. The system will automatically shut
off after about 15 minutes. If further defogging is
desired, press the button again.
Do not attach a temporary vehicle license, tape or decals
across the defogger grid on the rear window.
NOTICE:
Scraping the inside of your rear window could
cut and damage the heating grids. Your warranty
would not cover this damage. And don’t put decals there; you might have
to scrape them off.
