ON position.
To turn off the EATC
Press OFF. When the
system is off, the
display window will be
blank (dark).
Automatic operation
Press AUTO and select the desired temperature.
The system will automatically determine fan speed
and airflow location. Fan speed remains automatic
unless you press FAN. The selected temperature will
be shown on the display.
Temperature selection
TEMP will increase or
decrease the set
temperature. Pressing
TEMP will change the
temperature one
degree in either
direction. Pressing and
holding TEMP will
rapidly change the temperature (in one degree
increments) in either direction until either 18ÉC
(65ÉF) or 29ÉC (85ÉF). The temperature will then
jump ±15ÉC (5ÉF) and stop at either 16ÉC (60ÉF)
which is maximum cooling or 32ÉC (90ÉF) which is
maximum heating.

(60ÉF).To exit, press AUTO or any of the other
override controls. MAX A/C is noisier but more
economical than A/C. The airflow will be from the
instrument panel registers. The air conditioning
compressor will operate in this mode.
²VENT - Distributes outside air through the
instrument panel registers. However, the air will
not be cooled below the outside temperature.
²
(Panel and floor) - Distributes outside air
through the instrument panel registers and the
front and rear seat floor ducts. The air will be
heated or cooled based on temperature selection.
The air conditioning compressor will operate in
this mode.
²
(Floor) - Allows for maximum heating
through the front and rear seat floor ducts.
²
(Floor and defrost) - Distributes outside air
through the floor ducts and the windshield
defroster ducts. If the outside temperature is
about 10ÉC (50ÉF) or higher, the air conditioner
will dehumidify the air to prevent fogging. The air
conditioning compressor will operate in this mode.
²
F-DEF (Defrost) - Distributes outside air
through the windshield defroster ducts. It can be
used to clear ice or fog from the windshield. If the
outside temperature is about 10ÉC (50ÉF) or
higher, the air conditioner will dehumidify the air
to prevent fogging. The air conditioning
compressor will operate in this mode.
²OFF - Outside air is shut out and the fan will not
operate.
Displaying outside temperature
²OUTSIDE TEMP - Outside air temperature will be
displayed. If the EATC is off, the display will go
blank after four seconds. If the EATC is on, the
display will show the outside temperature until
the button is pressed again.
