Turning the DEATC system on
Press AUTO, any of the override controls, the fan speed control, or
either of the temperature selection controls. The DEATC system will
only operate when the ignition is in the ON position.
Turning the DEATC system off
Press OFF. The outside temperature
(EXT) function (if selected) will
continue to operate until the
ignition is turned off.
DEATC automatic operation
Press AUTO and select the desired
temperature. The selected
temperature will appear in the
display window, and an indicator
above the AUTO control will light.
The DEATC system will either heat
or cool the vehicle to achieve the
selected temperature. The system
will automatically determine the fan
speed, airflow location and whether outside or recirculated air is
required.

When in AUTO mode and the weather is cool, the DEATC directs the
majority of the airflow to the floor area. The system will allow some
airflow out the windshield defroster ducts and the demister outlets to
reduce window fogging. Additionally, if the engine is not warm enough to
provide heat, the fan will operate at a low speed and the airflow will be
directed to the windshield or to the floor. The fan speed will start to
increase and the airflow location will change to the floor area.
When in AUTO mode, the DEATC system automatically controls the air
conditioning operation, the fan speed, the airflow direction and
determines whether outside or recirculated air is required.
If unusual conditions exist (i.e.-window fogging, etc.), the manual
override controls allow you to select airflow locations as necessary. To
return to full automatic control, press the AUTO control.
Single/dual electronic temperature zone
Press DUAL to enable or disable the dual zone temperature feature.
When DUAL is pressed, the display window indicates the current
temperature setting for the driver and the last temperature setting that
was selected for the passenger. In addition to the DUAL control, the
passenger may engage the dual temperature zone feature by pressing the
passenger side temperature control.
The DUAL indicator will be lit when the dual temperature zone feature is
selected.

control to switch between
Fahrenheit and Celsius temperature
on the DEATC display only. The
temperature in Celsius will be
displayed in half-degree increments.
The English/Metric control on the
trip computer and message center
(if equipped) will not change the
DEATC temperature display. Refer toElectronic Message Centerin the

Fan speed ()
When AUTO is pressed, fan speed is adjusted automatically for existing
conditions. You can override fan speed at any time. To control fan speed
manually, press the fan control to cancel the automatic fan speed
operation. Press the control up for higher fan speed or down for lower
fan speed. The display will show
and a bar graph to indicate manual
fan operation and relative speed.
When the fan is adjusted in the AUTO mode, the AUTO indicator will
remain lit and the system will remain in auto operation.
To return to automatic fan operation, press AUTO. The fan icon and bars
will disappear from the display, and the DEATC system will return to full
automatic operation.

all modes, the air conditioning will only function if the outside
temperature is about 6ÉC (43ÉF) or higher. When manual A/C is selected
(ON) the indicator will be lit. When manual A/C is selected (OFF) the
indicator will not be lit.

When AUTO is selected, the recirculated air feature operates automatically
for existing conditions. However, the air recirculation indicator will not be
lit. If the recirculated air is selected while in AUTO operation, the DEATC
system will be disabled and you will return to manual operation with the
recirculated air indicator lit and with the A/C operating.
To return to automatic recirculated air operation, press AUTO.
Do not leave the DEATC system in recirculated air operation for
extended periods of time while the system is in a heating mode or in
cold/damp conditions as this may cause interior fogging of the front, side
and rear windows.
Manual override controls
The manual override controls allow you to manually determine where
airflow is directed. To return to fully automatic control, press AUTO.
When a manual airflow override control is selected, the DEATC system
will turn off the AUTO indicator and display the indicators of all
operating override controls. More than one override control indicator
may turn on when an override control is selected.

ducts. If the temperature is about 6ÉC (43ÉF) or higher, the air
conditioner will automatically dehumidify the air to reduce fogging. (Note
that the A/C indicator does not illuminate when this mode is selected.)
Recirculation and A/C override controls cannot be selected. For added
customer comfort, the air distributed through the floor ducts may be
slightly warmer than the air sent to the windshield defroster ducts.
(defrost) ÐDistributes outside air through the windshield defroster
ducts, the demister outlets and the center console registers. It can be
used to clear ice or fog from the windshield. If the outside air temperature
is about 6ÉC (43ÉF) or higher, the air conditioner will automatically
dehumidify the air to reduce fogging. (Note that the A/C indicator does
not illuminate when this mode is selected.) Recirculation and A/C override
controls cannot be selected. For added customer comfort, the system will
allow some airflow through the floor ducts in this mode.

to the window.
If the outside temperature is displayed while the DEATC system is in the
OFF mode and the DEATC is turned on, the driver and passenger
temperatures will be displayed for 4 seconds. Following this, the outside
temperature display will return to the 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 locations.
Operating tips
²In humid weather conditions, place the climate control system in
orRbefore driving. This will reduce fogging on your windshield.
Once the windshield has been cleared, operate the climate control
system as desired.
²To reduce humidity buildup inside the vehicle in cold weather
conditions, don't drive with the climate control system in the OFF or
MAX A/C position.
²To reduce humidity buildup inside the vehicle in warm weather
conditions, don't drive with the climate control system in the OFF
position.
²Under normal weather conditions, your vehicle's climate control
system should be left in any position other than MAX A/C or OFF
when the vehicle is parked. This allows the vehicle to ªbreatheº
through the outside air inlet duct.
²Under 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.
²If 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 ªaired outº, operate the climate
control system as desired.
²Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of
the windshield.
