WARNING
cThe air conditioner cooling function
operates only when the engine is
running.
cDo not leave children, unreliable
adults, or pets alone in your vehicle.
On hot, sunny days, temperatures in
a closed vehicle could quickly be-
come high enough to cause severe
or possibly fatal injuries to people or
animals.

unless illuminated in the previously se-
lected mode. However, the air condi-
tioner operates to dehumidify if the out-
side temperature is more than 40ÉF
(4ÉC), whether or not the A/C button has
been pressed. Manual selection and illu-
mination of the A/C button does not
override the automatic dehumidifying
which occurs when
is selected.
Operating Tips
Clear snow and ice from the wiper blades
and air inlet in front of the windshield.
This improves defrosting/defogging op-
eration.
Bi-level heating/cooling
The bi-level mode directs air to the side and
center vents and to the floor outlets.
Bi-level is also a cooling mode when high
sun load conditions are present with cool
temperatures.
With the A/C system in operation, this mode
can be used to cool the passenger's or
driver's feet under high temperature condi-
tions.
With the A/C system in operation under high
temperature conditions, improved coolingcan be obtained by pushing the air recircu-
lation button to the on position.
Push the air recirculation button to the off
position when heating is required.
1. Push the
button in.
2. Turn the fan control dial to the desired
position.
3. Move the temperature control dial to the
desired position.
Heating and defogging
This mode heats the interior and defogs the
windshield.
1. Push the
button in.
2. Turn the fan control dial to the desired
position.
3. Move the temperature control dial to the
desired position.
When the
button is pushed, the air
recirculation mode automatically turns
off. Outside air is drawn into the passen-
ger compartment to improve the defog-
ging performance.
Operating tips
cClear snow and ice from the wiper
blades and air inlet in front of the
windshield. This improves heater op-
eration.
cTo defog the side windows more effec-
tively when in bi-level or ventilation
mode, close the center vent and direct
the side vents toward the side windows.
cA slight delay may be experienced when
changing air control buttons. This is not a
problem, it is only the system motors and
solenoids switching from one outlet to
another.
AIR CONDITIONER OPERATION
Start the engine, move the fan control dial to
the desired (one to four) position, and select
an air control button before pushing in the
air conditioner button to activate the air
conditioner. When the air conditioner is on,
cooling and dehumidifying functions are
added to the system operation.
The air conditioner cooling function op-
erates only when the engine is running.

The Electronic Automatic Temperature
Control (EATC) is located at the center of
the instrument panel, above the radio. The
EATC operates only when the ignition isturned to the ON position.
The EATC maintains the temperature you
select and controls the airflow for your com-
fort. It also allows you to override the auto-
matic operation with manual function selec-
tor buttons.
To turn the EATC on, push either the AU-
TOMATIC button or any of the five function
selector buttons:
,,,,
or
. To turn the EATC off, press the
OFF button.
When you select AUTOMATIC, the system
determines fan speed, airflow location and
discharge air temperature. When one of the
function selector buttons is pressed, your
selection determines airflow location only.
Fan speed and discharge air temperature
remain automatic. You can override fan
speed by rotating the vertical thumbwheel
located at the extreme right of the
control panel.
The display window indicates the status of
the system. It shows the selected tempera-
ture and AUTO when in the AUTOMATIC
mode. It also indicates manual (thumb-
wheel) control of the fan speed when a

AUTOMATIC OPERATION
Push the AUTOMATIC button and select the
desired temperature. The selected tempera-
ture and AUTO show in the display window.
The EATC heats or cools to achieve the set
temperature.
When in AUTOMATIC and weather conditions
require heat, air is sent to the floor. However,
a feature is included in the EATC to prevent
blowing cold air to the floor if the engine
coolant is not warm enough to allow heating.
In three or four minutes the fan speed gradu-
ally increases and airflow changes to the floor.
If unique conditions exist, such as window
fogging, the five override buttons allow spe-
cific airflow selection. The thumbwheel al-
lows you to adjust the fan speed to suit your
needs.
Temperature selection
TheTEMPbutton on the left side of
the control panel is for temperature selec-
tion. The
side lowers the set tempera-
ture, and theside raises the set tem-
perature. Press and hold either side of the
button to rapidly change the temperature
setting in one degree increments to either
65ÉF (18ÉC) or 85ÉF (29ÉC). If you wantcontinuous maximum cooling, push the
side of the TEMP button until 60ÉF
(16ÉC) shows in the display window. The
EATC cools at maximum and disregards the
60ÉF (16ÉC) setting until a warmer tempera-
ture is selected. If you want continuous
maximum heating, push the
side of the
TEMP button until 90ÉF (32ÉC) shows in the
display window. The EATC provides maxi-
mum heat regardless of the 90ÉF (32ÉC)
setting until a cooler temperature is se-
lected.
Fan speed and thumbwheel
Your EATC 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
EATC control panel. Using the thumbwheel
cancels the automatic fan speed control,
and causes a
to appear in the display
window. Rotate the thumbwheel up for HI
speeds and down for LO speeds.
To return to auto fan control, press the
AUTOMATIC button.
AIR CONTROL BUTTONS
Your EATC has five buttons which allow you
to make special selections. The buttons aregrouped in the middle of the EATC panel
and allow you to determine airflow location.
Pressing any of the air control buttons
changes airflow location only, and does not
affect the ability of the system to control
temperature or fan speed. Return to fully
automatic operation by pushing the AUTO-
MATIC button.
Push this button for airflow to the floor and
windshield at the same time. The
in-
dicator light comes on, and the display
window shows the set temperature.
Press this button to obtain maximum airflow
to the windshield. Adjust the temperature
setting as required for defrosting. The
indicator light comes on, and the
display window shows the set temperature.
When the outside temperature is about
50ÉF (10ÉC) or above, the air is dehumidi-
fied to prevent window fogging.
Push this button to select airflow through
the instrument panel registers. The

The EATC heats the air if the selected
temperature is warmer than the outside air
coming into the vehicle. However, the air is
not cooled regardless of the temperature
setting.
Push this button to get air from the floor and
instrument panel registers at the same time.
The
indicator light comes on and the
display window shows the set temperature.
Depending on the selected temperature, the
air is automatically heated or cooled.

AIR CONDITIONER AND AIR RE-
CIRCULATION
Activate the air conditioner in any of the
override modes listed above by pressing the
A/C button. The A/C indicator light comeson to verify activation, and cooled air flows
from the vents. Fan speed continues to be
controlled by the EATC unless the fan
speed thumbwheel is used to override.
Press the
button to choose air recir-
culation. In this mode the EATC system
recirculates the air inside the vehicle rather
than drawing air from outside. Use this
mode together with the air conditioner to
rapidly cool the inside of the vehicle, or to
dehumidify the air inside the vehicle.
ENGLISH/METRIC MODE
Switch from English to metric temperature
display by simultaneously pressing the
