RADIO OPERATION AND
MOBILE PHONES
Under certain conditions, the mobile
phone being on in your vehicle can
cause erratic or noisy performance
from your radio. This condition may
be lessened or eliminated by relocat-
ing the mobile phone antenna. This
condition is not harmful to the radio.
If your radio performance does not
satisfactorily “clear” by the reposi-
tioning of the antenna, it is recom-
mended that the radio volume be
turned down or off during mobile
phone operation.
CLIMATE CONTROLS
The air conditioning and heating sys-
tem is designed to make you comfort-
able in all types of weather.
AUTOMATIC
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
(ATC)Automatic Operation
The Automatic Temperature Control
system automatically maintains the
climate in the cabin of the vehicle at
the comfort levels desired by the
driver and passenger.
Operation of the system is quite
simple.
1. Turn the Mode Control knob (on
the right) and the Blower Control
knob (on the left) to AUTO.NOTE: The AUTO position per-
forms best for front seat occupants
only.
2.
Dial in the tem-
perature you would
like the system to
maintain by rotat-
ing the Tempera-
ture Control knob.
Once the comfort
level is selected, the system will main-
tain that level automatically using the
heating system. Should the desired
comfort level require air conditioning,
the system will automatically make the
adjustment.
You will experience the greatest effi-
ciency by simply allowing the system
to function automatically. Selecting
the “O” (OFF) position on the blower
control stops the system completely
and closes the outside air intake.
The recommended setting for maxi-
mum comfort is 22°C for the average
person; however, this may vary.
Automatic Temperature Control
129

NOTE:
 The temperature setting can beadjusted at anytime without af-
fecting automatic operation.
Pressing the Air Conditioning
Control button while in AUTO
mode will cause the LED in the
control button to flash three
times and then turn off. This in-
dicates that the system is in
AUTO mode and requesting the
air conditioning is not necessary. If your air conditioning perfor- mance seems lower than ex-
pected, check the front of the
A/C condenser located in front
of the radiator for an accumula-
tion of dirt or insects. Clean with
a gentle water spray from the
front of the radiator and through
the condenser. Blower Control
For full automatic
operation or for au-
tomatic blower op-
eration, turn the
knob to the AUTO
position. In manual
mode there are
seven blower speeds that can be indi-
vidual selected. In off position the
blower will shut off.
Manual Operation
This system offers a full complement
of manual override features, which
consist of Blower Preferred Auto-
matic, Mode Preferred Automatic, or Blower and Mode Preferred Auto-
matic. This means the operator can
override the blower, the mode, or
both. There is a manual blower range
for times when the AUTO setting is
not desired. The blower can be set to
any fixed blower speed by rotating the
Blower Control knob (on the left).
NOTE: Please read the Automatic
Temperature Control Operation
Chart that follows for details.

131

The operator can override the AUTO
mode setting to change airflow distri-
bution by rotating the Mode Control
knob (on the right) to one of the fol-
lowing positions.
 PanelAir is directed through the out-
lets in the instrument panel.
These outlets can be adjusted to direct
airflow.
NOTE: The center instrument
panel outlets can be aimed so that
they are directed toward the rear
seat passengers for maximum air-
flow to the rear.
 Bi-Level
Air is directed through the
panel and floor outlets.
NOTE: For all settings, except
full cold or full hot, there is a dif-
ference in temperature between
the upper and lower outlets. The
warmer air flows to the floor out-
lets. This feature gives improved
comfort during sunny but cool
conditions.  Floor
Air is directed through the
floor outlets with a small
amount flowing through the defrost
and side window demist outlets.
 Mix
Air is directed through the
floor, defrost, and side window
demist outlets. This setting works best
in cold or snowy conditions that re-
quire extra heat to the windshield.
This setting is good for maintaining
comfort while reducing moisture on
the windshield.
 Defrost
Air is directed through the
windshield and side window
demist outlets. Use this mode with
maximum blower and temperature
settings for best windshield and side
window defrosting.  Air Conditioner Control
Press this button to
turn on the air con-
ditioning during
manual operation
only. When the air
conditioning is
turned on, cool de-
humidified air will flow through the
outlets selected with the Mode control
dial. Press this button a second time to
turn OFF the air conditioning. An LED
in the button illuminates when manual
compressor operation is selected.
132

 Recirculation ControlThe system will automati-
cally control recirculation.
However, pressing the Re-
circulation Control button
will put the system in recirculation
mode. This can be used when outside
conditions such as smoke, odors, dust,
or high humidity are present. Activat-
ing recirculation will cause the LED
in the control button to illuminate.
NOTE:
 When the ignition switch is turned to the LOCK position, the
recirculation feature will be
cancelled.
 In cold weather, use of the Recir- culation mode may lead to ex-
cessive window fogging. The Re-
circulation mode is not allowed
in the floor, defrost, or defrost/
floor mode in order to improve
window clearing. Recirculation
will be disabled automatically if
these modes are selected.  Extended use of recirculation
may cause the windows to fog. If
the interior of the windows be-
gins to fog, press the Recircula-
tion button to return to outside
air. Some temp/humidity condi-
tions will cause captured inte-
rior air to condense on windows
and hamper visibility. For this
reason, the system will not allow
Recirculation to be selected
while in defrost mode. Attempt-
ing to use the recirculation while
in this mode will cause the LED
in the control button to blink
and then turn off.
 Most of the time, when in Auto- matic Operation, you can tem-
porarily put the system into Re-
circulation Mode by pressing the
Recirculation button. However,
under certain conditions, while in Automatic Mode, the system is
blowing air out the defrost vents.
When these conditions are pres-
ent, and the Recirculation but-
ton is pressed, the indicator will
flash and then turn off. This tells
you that you are unable to go
into Recirculation Mode at this
time. If you would like the sys-
tem to go into Recirculation
Mode, you must first move the
Mode knob to Panel, Bi-Level,
or Mix, and then press the Recir-
culation button. This feature re-
duces the possibility of window
fogging.

OPERATING TIPS
NOTE:
Refer to the chart at the end
of this section for suggested control
settings for various weather condi-
tions.
Summer Operation
The engine cooling system in air-
conditioned vehicles must be pro-
tected with a high-quality antifreeze
coolant to provide proper corrosion
protection and to protect against en-
gine overheating. A solution of 50%
ethylene glycol antifreeze coolant and
50% water is recommended. Refer to
“Maintenance Procedures” in “Main-
taining Your Vehicle” for proper cool-
ant selection.
Winter Operation
Use of the air Recirculation Mode dur-
ing winter months is not recom-
mended because it may cause window
fogging. Vacation Storage
Anytime you store your vehicle, or
keep it out of service (i.e., vacation)
for two weeks or more, run the air
conditioning system at idle for about
five minutes in the fresh air and high
blower settings. This will ensure ad-
equate system lubrication to minimize
the possibility of compressor damage
when the system is started again.
Window Fogging
Interior fogging on the windshield can
be quickly removed by turning the
mode selector to Defrost. The Defrost/
Floor mode can be used to maintain a
clear windshield and provide suffi-
cient heating. If side window fogging
becomes a problem, increase blower
speed. Vehicle windows tend to fog on
the inside in mild but rainy or humid
weather.
NOTE: Recirculate without A/C
should not be used for long periods
as fogging may occur.
Side Window Demisters
A side window demister outlet is lo-
cated at each end of the instrument
panel. These non-adjustable outlets
direct air toward the side windows
when the system is in the FLOOR,
MIX, or DEFROST mode. The air is
directed at the area of the windows
through which you view the outside
mirrors.
