Manual override buttons
[IP07325(ALL)04/95]
Your EATC has six buttons which allow you to
make special selections. The buttons are located
along the bottom edge of the EATC and allow
you to determine where the air will be
discharged. Pressing any override button
changes the air discharge location only. It does
not affect the ability of the system to control
temperature or the fan speed. Return to fully
automatic operation by pushing the AUTO
button.

[IP07425(ALL)01/95]
MAX A/C button
[IP07525(ALL)04/95]
The MAX A/C feature allows for faster cooling

the airflow will be from the instrument panel
registers. To exit, push AUTO or any of the
other five manual override buttons.

not agree with temperatures given on
the radio due to differences in vehicle
and station locations.

Fuel Gauge
[LG08425(ALL)11/94]
The fuel gauge displays approximately how
much fuel is in the fuel tank only when the
ignition is in the ON position.
[LG08525(ALL)11/94]
For proper fuel gauge indication after adding
fuel, the ignition should be in the OFF position
while the vehicle is being refueled.
*
[LG08625(ALL)06/93]
The fuel gauge indicator may vary slightly when
the vehicle is in motion.
[LG08725(ALL)11/94]
With the ignition in the OFF position, the fuel
gauge indicator may drift from the ignition ON
indication.

Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge
*
[LG08900(ALL)03/95]
This gauge indicates the temperature of the
engine coolant, not the coolant level. If the
coolant is not at its proper level or mixture, the
gauge indication will not be accurate.
*
[LG09000(ALL)02/95]
The pointer moves from the C (cold) mark into
the Normal band as the engine coolant warms
up. It is acceptable for the pointer to fluctuate
within the Normal band under normal driving
conditions. Under certain driving conditions,
such as heavy stop and go traffic or driving up
hills in hot weather, the pointer may indicate at
the top of the Normal band.
