Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Outside Temperature Display
The outside temperature is always displayed when your
vehicle's ignition is on. If the outside temperature
display begins to flash, this means that icy road
conditions
are possible. Adjust your driving if needed.
The display will flash for about
30 seconds and then
remain on steady.
Mode Button
Press this button to deliver air through the floor, middle
or windshield outlets. The climate control system will
stay in the selected ECC mode until the MODE button is
pressed again or until the TEMP/AUTO knob is pressed.
Press the up or down arrow to see the available modes.
EnglisWetric Display
You can change the temperature display from English
(degrees Fahrenheit) to metric (degrees Celsius) by
pressing and holding the driver's side TEMP/AUTO
knob for approximately three seconds. Repeat the
process to change back to English from metric.
Automatic Operation
Pressing the driver's side TEMP/AUTO knob sets the
system for automatic operation. Once the system is set,
sensors will control the air delivery mode. Air will come
from the floor, middle, side
or windshield outlets. The
fan speed will
vary as the system maintains the selected
temperature setting. (All previous manually set mode
settings will change back to a fully automatic mode
when the climate control system is turned on this way.)
Be careful not to put anything over the solar sensor
located in the middle of the instrument panel near the
windshield. This sensor is used by the automatic system
to regulate temperature.
To find your comfort zone, start with the
75 "F (24°C)
setting and allow about 20 minutes for the system to
regulate air temperature. Adjust the temperature if
necessary. If you choose
60 OF (1 6 " C), the system will
remain at that maximum cooling setting and will not
regulate fan speed. If you choose the temperature of
90" F (32"C), the system will remain at that maximum
heating setting and will not regulate fan speed. Choosing
either maximum setting will not cause the system to heat
or cool any faster.

TEMP/AUTO knob to set the fan speed for
AUTO. At
this setting, the fan speed is automatically controlled. If
it is cold outside, the blower may not run in the
maximum high fan speed right away. The system checks
the temperature of the engine coolant to assure it is
warm enough to provide heat. When the engine coolant
is warm, the controller allows the fan to gradually
increase to a higher speed. This prevents cold air from
blowing into the passenger compartment. If you want
the blower fan at a high speed, press the up arrow button
until you reach the highest position of the display. If you
want the blower fan at a low speed, press the down
arrow button until the lowest position is displayed.
ON/OFF: Press this button to turn the system off. Press
this button again to turn the system back on. Turning the
climate control system on
in this way will recall all
previous manually set mode settings.
If the system is
turned on by pushing the driver’s TEMP/AUTO knob
for automatic operation, all of
the previous manually set
mode settings will be changed back to the fully
automatic mode.
AC: Press this button to turn the air conditioning on and
off. The system will cool and dehumidify the air inside
the vehicle.
In the automatic operation mode, the display
will show AC
OFF when the air conditioning has been
turned off.
RECIRCULATION: Press this button to limit the
amount of fresh air entering your vehicle.
This is helpful
to limit odors entering your vehicle. In the automatic
operation mode, the system will use recirculation as
necessary to cool the air. Pressing the recirculation
button will change the operation to a manual mode and
the air will recirculate non-stop. Press this button again
to turn
off the recirculation feature.
If you notice the windows fogging, press the
recirculation button to exit the recirculation mode.
