OUTSIDE TEMP
[LG11500(ALL)01/93]
This feature lets you display the temperature of the air outside
of your vehicle.
[LG11550(ALL)04/94]
The fuel and distance computer is designed to prevent
inaccurate temperature display readings. For example, a sudden
temperature change (such as driving out of a cool garage on a
warm day), may show outside temperature display readings
which are lower than expected. The accurate temperature will
be displayed after the vehicle has reached the outside
temperature and is driven at speeds of 30 mph (48 km/h) or
greater.
[LG11575(ALL)01/94]
In the event of a decrease in the outside air temperature, there
will be no delay in an accurate temperature display.

INST ECONOMY
[LG11700(ALL)01/93]
Your instantaneous fuel economy is the fuel economy you get at
any particular moment. For example, you can see what your
fuel economy is in heavy traffic or on the highway.
[LG11800(ALL)01/93]
Factors such as braking, acceleration, and road terrain affect
your fuel economy.
[LG11900(ALL)01/93]
To display instantaneous fuel economy, press the SELECT
button until the menu displays INST ECONOMY. Your vehicle
must be moving for the computer to calculate a fuel economy
greater than zero.
[LG12000(ALL)01/93]
AVG ECONOMY
[LG12100(ALL)01/93]
The average fuel economy is an overall average of your fuel
economy taken from the last time the reset button was pushed.
The computer takes an average of all the types of driving you
have done since the RESET button was pressed (highway, city,
heavy traffic), and figures out the average fuel economy. You
can calculate your average fuel economy as often as you like.
For example, you can calculate the average fuel economy for
each tank of fuel or for every day.
[LG12200(ALL)01/93]
To display the average fuel economy:
[LG12300(ALL)01/93]1.
Press the SELECT button until the menu displays AVG
ECONOMY.
[LG12400(ALL)03/91]2.
You will probably display the average fuel economy for each
tank of fuel or for each trip you take. Each time you want to
recalculate the average fuel economy, you need to press the
RESET button. The average fuel economy must be displayed
to reset the fuel computer.
[LG12500(ALL)01/93]
The best time to reset the AVG ECONOMY is when you fill
the fuel tank or at the beginning of a trip.

[IP10330(ALL)06/95]
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.

second, the display will begin to toggle between English and
Metric.
[IP10430(ALL)06/95]
Fan Speed and Thumbwheel
[IP10440(ALL)06/95]
The ATC automatically adjusts the fan speed to the existing
conditions. To control the fan speed yourself, use the
thumbwheel located at the extreme right side of the ATC
control panel. Using the thumbwheel cancels the automatic fan
speed control, and causes a
Hto appear in the display window.
Rotate the thumbwheel up for HI speeds and down for LO
speeds.
