When in AUTOMATIC and weather conditions
require heat, air will be sent to the floor. But, a
feature is included in your EATC to prevent
blowing cold air to the floor if the engine
coolant is not warm enough to allow heating.
For a short time the fan will be at low speed
and air directed to the windshield. In 3-1/2
minutes or less, the fan speed will start to
increase and the airflow will change to the floor
area.

[CF10200( GV)12/95]
If unusual conditions exist (i.e., window fogging,
etc.), the six manual override buttons allow you
to select special air discharge locations. A

will change the set temperature one degree.
Holding either button in will rapidly change the
temperature setting in one degree increments to
either65ÊF (18ÊC)(BLUE) or85ÊF(29ÊC)(RED).
Then, the set temperature will jump 5Ê and stop
at either60ÊF (16ÊC)which is maximum cooling
or 90ÊF (32ÊC)which is maximum heating.

Your EATC has six buttons which allow you to
make special selections. The buttons are located
along the bottom edge of the EATC control and

discharged. Pressing any override button
changes the air discharge location only. It does
not affect the ability of the system to control
temperature or the fan speed. Return to fully
Automatic operation by pushing the
AUTOMATIC button.

MAX A/C button
[CF12000( GV)12/95]
The MAX A/C feature allows for faster cooling
because air is drawn from inside the car. Using
inside air causes the fan to sound louder which
is normal for this selection. The Display window
will indicate MAX A/C under the selected
temperature. The airflow will be from the
instrument panel registers.

Determining if System Is Operational
*
[SS24501( ALL)05/96]
The Air Bag Supplemental Restraint System uses
a readiness light and a tone to indicate the
condition of the system. The readiness light is in
the instrument cluster. When you turn the
ignition key to ON, this light will illuminate for
approximately six (6) seconds and then turn off.
This indicates that the system is operating
normally. NOTE: Routine maintenance of the air
bag system is not required.

[ER00500( ALL)05/96]
Fuses (conventional and high current) and circuit
breakers protect your vehicle's wiring system
from overloading. If electrical parts in your
vehicle are not working, the system may have
been overloaded and blown a fuse or tripped a
circuit breaker. Before you replace or repair any
electrical parts, check the appropriate fuses
(conventional and high current) or circuit
breakers.

[ER00600( ALL)12/95]
The following charts tell you which fuses or
circuit breakers protect the wiring for each
electrical part of your vehicle. If a fuse blows or
a circuit breaker opens a circuit,allthe parts of
your vehicle that use that circuit will not work.
