If the refrigerant system ever reaches an over-pressure condition, this
message will appear to tell you that the air conditioning compressor has
been turned
off. Air conditioned air will not be delivered to cool your
vehicle.
If the pressure returns to a normal operating range, you must
select “AUTO”, “DEFOG”, or Defrost to start the compressor. If this
message continues to appear, have the system repaired
as sow as
possible to avoid compressor damage.

BATTERY VOLTS LOW - 06
This message will appear when the electrical system is charging less than
10 volts, or if the battery has been drained. If this message appears
immediately after starting it is possible that the generator can still
recharge the battery. The battery should recharge after driving a
few
miles and the message should go out. If this message appears while
driving or after starting your vehicle and stays on, have it checked
immediately to determine the cause of this problem.
To help the
generator recharge
the battery quickly, you can reduce the load on the
electrical system
by turning off your accessories. You can monitor battery

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Electronic Climate Control (ECC)
Your vehicle has strategically placed electronic sensors, that feed
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.
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.
“OUTSIDE” Temperature: The outside temperature is always displayed
when your vehicle is running. You can change it from Celsius to
Fahrenheit by pushing the ENG/MET(English/Metric) button.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Temperature
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 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 OC), for maximum heating. We recommend when fiit getting familiar
with your vehicle, select 75
OF (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 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.

A/C Purge
If your vehicle is sitting out on a hot day and you have it set on AUTO,
the air will first flow out the floor air ducts for a
few seconds. That is
normal. This is to expel hot air in the air ducts.
As the air is cooled, the
flow
will move through the A/C outlets. If you start your vehicle with the
fan setting on
“HI” it will skip the A/C Purge.
Cold Weather Purge
On cold days when your system is first turned on, in either the AUTO or
ECON setting and the fan setting is not on “HI”, a small amount
of air
will flow through
the defroster duct while the system is waiting for the
engine coolant to warm up enough to provide heat. This prevents your
breath from fogging your windshield.
As the coolant warms up, the
blower fan speed will gradually increase and air will flow from the heater
outlets, with some air bleed to the windshield to prevent fogging under
most normal conditions.
Manually Recirculate Inside Air
There may be times, when you don’t want air from the outside. To
recirculate the air from the inside only,
just set the temperature to 60°F
(16°C) and adjust your fan speed, if the air quantity is too high.
DEFOG
Push this button to divide the air between the windshield and the heater
ducts. This
is useful when fog appears on the windshield or side glass due
to a sudden rain or snowy conditions.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine DEFROSTER
1-1 Push this button to
remove fog or frost
from the windshield.
This setting sends most of the air flow to the windshield with only a small
amount to the floor outlets. In some cold start conditions, the
“AUTO”
blower fan speed may be limited until the cooling system warms up. This
is normal to prevent windshield fogging.
The .fan speed will work automatically to maintain your requested interior
temperature. If
you need more air to your windshield, you should select a
higher fan speed.
It will help a lot if you first clear any ice and snow from the hood and the
air inlet (it’s between the hood and the windshield).
REAR DEFOGGER
I
Push this button to turn
on the rear defogger.
With it, your rear window and both outside rearview mirrors are heated.
The system will automatically shut off after
10 minutes. If further
defrosting is desired, simply push the button again.
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.
