²Under normal weather conditions, your vehicle's climate control
system should be left in any position other than MAX A/C or OFF
when the vehicle is parked. This allows the vehicle to ªbreatheº
through the outside air inlet duct.
²Under snowy or dirty weather conditions, your vehicle's climate
control system should be left in the OFF position when the vehicle is
parked. This allows the climate control system to be free from
contamination of outside pollutants.
²If your vehicle has been parked with the windows closed during warm
weather conditions, the air conditioner will perform more efficiently in
cooling the vehicle if driven for two or three minutes with the
windows open. This will force most of the hot, stale air out of the
vehicle. Once the vehicle has been ªaired outº, operate the climate
control system as desired.
²Do not put objects under the front seat that will interfere with the
airflow to the back seats (if equipped).
²Remove any snow, ice or leaves
from the air intake area at the
base of the windshield.
²If your vehicle has been parked with the windows closed during hot
weather, the air conditioner will do a much faster job of cooling if you
drive for two or three minutes with the windows open. This will force
most of the hot, stale air out of the vehicle. Then operate your air
conditioner as you would normally.
²Do not place objects over the defroster outlets. These objects can
block airflow and reduce your ability to see through your windshield.
Avoid placing small objects on top of the instrument panel. These
objects may fall down into the defroster outlets and block airflow, in
addition to damaging the climate control system.

To aid in side window defogging/demisting in cold weather conditions:
1. Select
2. Set the temperature control to full heat
3. Set the fan speed to 4 (High)
4. Direct the outer panel vents towards the side windows
To increase the airflow to the outer panel vents, close the central panel
vents.
Do not place objects on top of the instrument panel, as these
objects may become projectiles in a collision or sudden stop.
Rear passenger compartment air conditioning system (if equipped)
This system allows the rear seat occupants to adjust their air
conditioning comfort level.
The rear A/C fan speed control allows the rear passengers to control the
volume of air that is distributed from the rear registers.

Turning the EATC on
Press AUTOMATIC, any of the override controls or the fan speed control.
The EATC will only operate when the engine is running.
Turning the EATC off
Press OFF.
Automatic operation
Press AUTOMATIC and select the desired temperature. The selected
temperature and the word AUTO will appear in the display window. The
EATC system will either heat or cool to achieve the selected
temperature. The system will automatically determine fan speed, airflow
location and if outside air or recirculated air is required. Fan speed
remains automatic unless the fan speed control is turned.
When in AUTOMATIC and weather conditions require heat, air will be
sent to the front and rear floor ducts. However, if the engine is not warm
enough to provide heat, the fan will be at a low speed and the air will be
directed to the windshield. In 3
1¤2minutes or less, the fan speed will
start to increase and the airflow location will change to the front and
rear floor area.

If unusual conditions exist (i.e. window fogging, etc.), the manual
override controls allow you to adjust the mode selector and fan speed
controls as necessary.
Temperature selection
The display window indicates the
selected temperature, function
(AUTO or one of the override
controls) and manual control of fan
speed (
) if automatic fan speed is not desired.
To control the temperature, select
any temperature between 15ÉC
(60ÉF) and 32ÉC (90ÉF) by pressing
the temperature controls. However,
individual temperature settings
between 15ÉC (60ÉF) and 18ÉC
(65ÉF) cannot be selected. The 15ÉC
(60ÉF) and 18ÉC (65ÉF)
temperatures are the lowest settings
available.
For continuous maximum cooling, push the temperature control until
15ÉC (60ÉF) is shown in the display window. The EATC will continue
maximum cooling (disregarding the displayed temperature) until a
warmer temperature is selected by pressing the temperature controls.
For continuous maximum heating, push the temperature controls until
32ÉC (90ÉF) is shown in the display window. The EATC will continue
maximum heating (disregarding the displayed temperature) until a
cooler temperature is selected by pressing the temperature control.
