NOTE: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

differences in vehicle and station locations.Operating tipsThe following tips will help you to get the most
satisfaction from your Electronic Automatic
Temperature Control system.q
In humid weather, select DEFVbefore
starting your engine. This will help to prevent
windshield fogging. After a few minutes of
operation, switch to AUTOMATIC or an
override selection of your choice.

To prevent humidity buildup inside your
vehicle, always drive with the EATC System
turned on.
q
Do not put objects under the front seats that
interfere with the flow of air to the back seat
area.
q
Remove any snow, ice, or leaves from the air
intake area of your EATC System which could
block the air intake. The intake area is located
at the bottom of the windshield, under the
hood at the passenger side rear corner.
ServiceIf your EATC is not operating as described here,
take it to your dealer to have it checked. System
diagnostics are built in which will allow your dealer
to readily identify problems that might occur.
