RWARNING
Operating with the function selector button in OFF or in
the recirculated air mode for extended periods of time in
cold weather can result in fog buildup on interior glass
surfaces. This fogging can make it difficult to see the
road for safe driving. Operating the system with outside
air (i.e., with the air intake selector button off) and with
one of the five function selector buttons selected (Defrost,
Mix, Floor, Panel/Floor, or Panel), will help prevent
fogging. Adjust the temperature as necessary for comfort.

Air intake selector button
[IP02800(ALL)09/93]
The typical air intake selection is outside air. However, for
recirculated air, the air intake selector button may be activated.
When the air intake selector button is activated (indicator light
is on), it prevents the intake of outside air. This is the typical
selection when using the air conditioner (if equipped). It
recirculates interior air for faster cooling. The recirculated air
function also helps to prevent the intake of dusty or unpleasant
air.
[IP02900(ALL)01/93]
There are several air outlets on the instrument panel. There are
side outlets near the driver's window and passenger's window,
two center outlets, floor outlets, and windshield outlets. The
direction and amount of air flow from the center and side
instrument panel outlets can be adjusted for personal comfort.
[IP02950(ALL)04/94]
NOTE: Selection of the recirculated air mode under cold and
humid conditions may result in window fogging due
to entrapped humidity within the vehicle. To
counteract this circumstance, switch to the Defrost
mode and set fan speed to 3 or 4. Adjust air
temperature to a ªwarmº instead of ªhotº setting.
[IP03000(ALL)06/95]
Heating Only System (Without air conditioning)
[IP03100(ALL)01/93]
You can heat and ventilate the inside of your vehicle, or defrost
the windshield with the function selector buttons, the fan speed
knob and the temperature control knob.
[IP03200(ALL)01/93]
An additional push-on/push-off air intake selector button
provides for the selection of recirculated inside air (button
lighted) or outside air (button not lighted).

Heating and air conditioning climate control system panel
[IP05500(ALL)09/93]
The standard heating system and the heating portion of the
heating and air conditioning system are essentially identical.
There is one exception, however; the air conditioning
compressor may automatically engage when the Defrost position
is selected to aid in defogging and defrosting the inside glass.
When Defrost is selected, the A/C compressor will
automatically operate when the outside temperature is above
approximately40ÊF (4ÊC),whether or not the A/C button is
illuminated. Manual selection and illumination of the A/C
button in defrost mode does not override the automatic
compressor operation discussed above. Refer to the heating
system operating instructions covered previously for a more
detailed explanation of heating system operation.

Cooling your vehicle with outside air
[IP06900(ALL)01/93]
Cooling your vehicle with air conditioned outside air is quieter
but less economical than using recirculated air. It also has less
cooling capacity.

Ventilating your vehicle with outside air
[IP07900(ALL)01/93]
In mild weather, you can ventilate your vehicle with outside air.
If the outside temperature is less than70ÊF (21ÊC), you can add
cool air to your vehicle without using air conditioning. You will
get better fuel economy this way.
[IP08000(ALL)01/93]
The procedure for ventilating your vehicle with the standard
heating system or with the air conditioning system is the same.
Refer to the previous section for instructions on how to ventilate
with outside air.

The ATC maintains the temperature you select and
automatically controls the airflow for your comfort. It also
allows you to override the automatic operation of airflow and
fan speed with manual function selector buttons and the fan
speed dial.
[IP10335(ALL)06/95]
When you select the AUTOMATIC button, the system
determines airflow location and fan speed automatically. It also
automatically determines whether you will be receiving fresh
outside airflow, recirculated interior airflow, or a combination of
both. You can manually override the airflow source (outside or
recirculated air) and airflow location by selecting one of the
function selector buttons. You can also manually override the
fan speed by rotating the fan speed dial.
[IP10340(ALL)06/95]
Whether you operate in the AUTOMATIC mode or manually
override the AUTOMATIC mode settings, the ATC will continue
to maintain the air temperature you have selected. However, if
you choose to manually override the airflow location by
selecting one of the function selector buttons, you will also need
to select the A/C button if you desire cool air-conditioned air.
(Your ATC automatically operates the air conditioning [if
required] when you are in the AUTOMATIC mode without
illuminating the A/C button, but the system requires you to
manually select the A/C button if you desire A/C operation
when you manually override airflow location.)
[IP10350(ALL)06/95]
If you want continuous maximum cooling, push theNside of
the TEMP button until60ÊF (16ÊC)shows in the display
window. The ATC will cool at its maximum level and disregard
the 60ÊF (16ÊC)setting until a warmer temperature is selected. If
you want continuous maximum heating, push theMside of the
TEMP button until90ÊF (32ÊC)shows in the display window.
The ATC will provide maximum heat regardless of the90ÊF
(32ÊC) setting until a cooler temperature is selected.

Automatic Operation
[IP10380(ALL)06/95]
Push the AUTOMATIC button and select the desired
temperature. The selected temperature and AUTO appear in the
display window. The ATC heats or cools to achieve the set
temperature. It is important to note that if the ATC engages
your vehicle's air-conditioning, it will do so automatically
without illuminating the A/C button.
[IP10390(ALL)06/95]
When in AUTOMATIC and weather conditions require heat, air
is sent to the floor. However, a feature is included in the ATC
to prevent blowing cold air to the floor if the engine coolant is
not warm enough to provide heating. Within three or four
minutes (of determining the engine coolant is not warm enough)
the fan speed gradually increases and airflow changes to the
floor.
[IP10400(ALL)06/95]
If specific conditions exist (such as window fogging) the five
override buttons allow specific airflow selection. The
thumbwheel allows you to adjust the fan speed to suit your
needs.
