You can select temperatures from 65 "F (18°C) to 85°F (29°C). And, at
each end, you may choose
60 " F (16 " C), for maximum cooling, and 90" F
(33 " C), for maximum heating. We recommend when first getting familiar
with your vehicle, select
75 " F (24 " C). You may find that your own personal
comfort requires a slightly higher or lower setting. Once you set the
temperature, the system will automatically maintain the set temperature.

,.
ECON
With this setting it's all automatic, but the air conditioning compressor
does not operate and it won't remove humidity from the air. However,
the system will try to keep the air at the selected temperature. Use this
setting in cold or cool weather to save fuel.
If it's warm outside and you need to cool the air, use the next choice.
AUTO
With this setting, the air conditioning compressor cycles when needed to -_
cool the air and it's all automatic. In cold weather when the system senses
the need for heat,
the air flow will be directed out the floor ducts. As the
interior temperature approaches the desired setting, the blower speed
will decrease and the air
flow could be directed through the defroster and
floor ducts.
To maintain interior comfort, the air flow may move to the air
outlets and floor ducts (Bi-level). On bright sunny days in cold weather,
the air
flow could even come out the A/C outlets to maintain comfort and --
prevent stuffiness.
