Turning the EATC on
Press AUTO, any of the override controls or the fan speed control. The
EATC will only operate when the vehicle is running.
Turning the EATC system off
Press OFF.
Automatic operation
Press AUTO and select the desired temperature. The selected
temperature and the word AUTO will appear in the display window. The
EATC system will either heat or cool to achieve the selected
temperature. The system will automatically determine fan speed, airflow
location and if outside air or recirculated air is required.
When in AUTO and weather conditions require heat, the EATC system
directs the majority of the airflow to the floor area. The system will allow
some airflow through the windshield defroster ducts to reduce window
fogging. However, if the engine is not warm enough to provide heat, the
fan will be at a low speed and the airflow will be directed to the
windshield. In approximately 3
1 2minutes or less, the fan speed will start
to increase and the airflow location will change to the floor.
If unusual conditions exist (i.e.-window fogging, etc.), the manual
override controls allow you to select airflow locations and the fan control
allows you to adjust fan speed as necessary.

Used to manually enable or disable
the operation of the recirculated air
operation in all modes except

The use of recirculated air when the
air conditioning is operating helps to
reduce the amount of time to cool
down the interior of the vehicle in
very hot conditions. Recirculated air
may also help to keep undesired
outside odors from reaching the vehicle interior. It is recommended to
allow the EATC system to automatically control the selection of outside

Turning the EATC off
OFF — Outside air is shut out. The fan, heating, and air conditioning will
not operate. The outside temperature will still display when selected
with the ignition in the ON position.
Displaying outside temperature
Press EXT TEMP to display the
outside air temperature. It will be
displayed until EXT TEMP is
pressed again.
If the temperature or fan speed is adjusted or if AUTO or
modes
are selected while the outside temperature is being displayed, the vehicle
interior temperature will be displayed for four seconds. After four
seconds have passed, the outside temperature will return to the display
window.
If the outside temperature is displayed while the EATC system is in the
OFF mode and then is turned on, the outside temperature will return to
the display window.
The outside temperature reading is most accurate when the vehicle is
moving. Higher readings may be obtained when the vehicle is not
moving. The readings that you get may not agree with temperatures
given on the radio due to differences in vehicle and station location.
Operating tips
•In humid weather conditions, place the climate control system in
or rear defrost before driving. This will reduce fogging on your
windshield. Once the windshield has been cleared, operate the climate
control system as desired.

•To reduce humidity buildup inside the vehicle in warm weather
conditions, don’t drive with the climate control system in the OFF
position.
•Under normal weather conditions, your vehicle’s climate control
system should be left in any position other than OFF or
when
the vehicle is parked. This allows the vehicle to “breathe” through the
outside air inlet duct.
•Under snowy or dirty weather conditions, your vehicle’s climate
control system should be left in the OFF position when the vehicle is
parked. This allows the climate control system to be free from
contamination of outside pollutants.
•If your vehicle has been parked with the windows closed during warm
weather conditions, the air conditioner will perform more efficiently in
cooling the vehicle if driven for two or three minutes with the
windows open. This will force most of the hot, stale air out of the
vehicle. Once the vehicle has been “aired out”, operate the climate
control system as desired.
•Don’t put objects under the front seat that will interfere with the
airflow to the rear seats.
•Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the area
(at the bottom of the windshield and underneath the hood).
•Do not place objects over the defroster outlets. These objects can
block airflow and reduce your ability to see through your windshield.
Avoid placing small objects on top of the instrument panel. These
objects may fall down into the defroster outlets and block airflow, in
addition to damaging the climate control system.
To aid in side window defogging/demisting in cold weather conditions:
1. Select
2. Set the temperature control to full heat
3. Select A/C
4. Set the fan speed to HI
5. Direct the outer panel vents towards to side windows
6. To increase airflow to the outer panel vents, close the central panel

Do not place objects on top of the instrument panel, as these
objects may become projectiles in a collision or sudden stop.
