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 fresh outside
air or recirculated air is required.
Fan speed remains automatic
unless the fan speed control is
pressed or the steering wheel fan
speed control is pressed.
When in AUTO and weather
conditions require heat, air will be
sent to the floor. However, if the
engine is not warm enough to
provide heat, the fan will be at a
low speed and the air will be
directed to the windshield. In 3ó
minutes or less, the fan speed will
start to increase and the airflow
location will change to the floor
area.
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.
Temperature selection
The display window indicates the
selected temperature, function
(AUTO or one of the override
controls) and manual control of
fan speed (
) if automatic fan
speed is not desired.

Launching or retrieving a boat
When backing down a ramp during
boat launching or retrieval,
²Do not allow the static water
level to rise above the bottom
edge of the rear bumper and
²Do not allow waves to break
higher than 15 cm (six inches)
above the bottom edge of the
rear bumper.
Exceeding these limits may allow
water to enter critical vehicle
components, adversely affecting
driveability, emissions and
reliability.
If the rear axle is submerged in
water, the rear axle lubricant
should be checked and changed, if
necessary. The rear axle is filled
with a synthetic lubricant and does
not normally require a lubricant
change for the life of the vehicle.
Rear axle lubricant quantities
should not need to be checked
unless a leak is suspected.
DRIVING THROUGH WATER
Do not drive quickly through
standing water, especially if the
depth is unknown. Traction or
brake capability may be limited
and if the ignition system gets wet,
your engine may stall. Water may
also enter your engine's air intake
and severely damage your engine.
