Air intake selector button
[CF01900(ALL)01/96]
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.

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.
[CF02050(ALL)03/96]
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 and
deactivate the air intake selector.

[CF05600(ALL)01/96]8.
If the inside of your vehicle is very warm, you may want to
drive for a few minutes with the windows down and the air
conditioner on. This forces most of the hot, stale air out of
the vehicle and allows the air conditioner to cool down the
interior more quickly.
*
[CF05700(ALL)01/96]
The air conditioner may be used to cool the outside air being
drawn into your vehicle, but using recirculated air is more
economical and cools your vehicle more quickly.
[CF05800(ALL)01/96]
NOTE: The A/C button independently toggles the A/C
system's compressor signal and indicator light ON and
OFF in the Panel, Panel/Floor, Floor, Defrost and Mix

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.
[CF09000(ALL)01/96]
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.
[CF09100(ALL)01/96]
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.)
[CF09200(ALL)01/96]
If you want continuous maximum cooling, push the
dside 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 the
cside of the
TEMP button until90ÊF (32ÊC)shows in the display window.
The ATC will provide maximum heat regardless of the90ÊF

[CF09500(ALL)05/96]
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 warm enough),
the fan speed gradually increases and airflow changes to the
floor.
[CF09600(ALL)05/96]
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.
