information to the vehicle’s computer systems. Your vehicle can control
the ventilation, heating, and air conditioning automatically year round.
The outside temperature, inside temperature setting, fan speeds, and the
ECC selection are displayed on a digital screen. I
OFF: Nothing is on, but air will flow through your vehicle if you’re
moving. The system will try to keep the air at the selected temperature,
but it might not
be able to maintain it if it’s hot, or cold, outside.

To select the
temperature you want,
push the blue button
for a cooler setting and
the red button for a
warmer setting. The
temperature setting
will be displayed on
the digital screen.
You can select temperatures from 65OF (18OC) to
85°F (69OC). And, at
each end, you may choose 60"
F (16OC), for maximum cooling, and 90°F
(33OC), for maximum heating.We recommend when first getting familiar
with your vehicle, select 75OF (24OC). 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 runs 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.
