If the inside of the vehicle is very warm, drive
for the first few minutes with the windows open
to force the hot, stale air out of the vehicle.
[CF05400( GV)12/95]
Fan speed can be reduced, after a comfortable
temperature has been reached, to provide quieter
system operation.
[CF05600( GV)12/95]
To cool your vehicle using outside air, move the
SELECT knob to NORM A/C, move the TEMP
knob to the end of the blue range (full
counterclockwise) and set the fan to the desired
speed. Cooling your vehicle in this way provides
quieter operation, but it is not as economical as
MAX A/C.
[CF05800( GV)12/95]
The instrument panel registers may be adjusted
to control the quantity and direction of air being
discharged. The thumbwheel controls the volume
of air and the knob in the center of the register
directs the air up and down or side to side.
[CF06000( GV)12/95]
When the SELECT knob is moved to OFF, the
system is off and the fan will not operate.

[CF08800( GV)05/96]
The Electronic Automatic Temperature Control
(EATC) module is located at the center of the
instrument panel and operates only when the
key is in the ON position.

The EATC feature maintains the temperature
you select and automatically controls the airflow
for your comfort. It also allows you to override
the automatic operation with manual override
buttons.

If you select AUTOMATIC, the system will
automatically determine fan speed and airflow
location. If an override button is selected, your
selection determines airflow location only. Fan
speed remains automatic unless you override it
by rotating the vertical thumbwheel located at
the extreme right of the control panel.

maximum and disregard the60ÊF (16ÊC)setting
until you select a warmer temperature with the
RED button. If you want continuous maximum
heating, push the RED button until90ÊF (32ÊC)
is shown in the display window. Your EATC
will provide maximum heat regardless of the
90ÊF (32ÊC)setting until you select a cooler
temperature with the BLUE button.

The display window tells you how the system is
operating. It will indicate the selected
temperature and the operating function you
have chosen; AUTO or one of the six manual
overrides. It will also indicate manual
(thumbwheel) control of the fan speed with the
Hsymbol. The display window with all possible
displays and their positions are shown here.
Normally not all are shown at the same time but

[CF09900( GV)01/96]
Push the AUTOMATIC button and select the
desired temperature. The selected temperature
and AUTO will be shown in the display
window. The EATC will automatically heat or

[CF10100( GV)12/95]
When in AUTOMATIC and weather conditions
require heat, air will be sent to the floor. But, a
feature is included in your EATC to prevent
blowing cold air to the floor if the engine
coolant is not warm enough to allow heating.
For a short time the fan will be at low speed
and air directed to the windshield. In 3-1/2
minutes or less, the fan speed will start to
increase and the airflow will change to the floor
area.

[CF10200( GV)12/95]
If unusual conditions exist (i.e., window fogging,
etc.), the six manual override buttons allow you
to select special air discharge locations. A
thumbwheel allows you to adjust the fan speed
to suit your needs.

By pressing this button the temperature of the
air outside of the vehicle will show in the
display. The outside temperature will continue to
be displayed until the OUTSIDE TEMP button is
pressed again to cancel. If the selected
temperature setting is changed while the outside
temperature is displayed, the new selected
temperature will be displayed for 4 seconds after
it is changed. Then, the outside temperature will
return to the window. If a manual override is
pressed or the thumbwheel is rotated while the
outside temperature is displayed, the window
