Tempmerature Button
The TEMP button changes the temperature of the air
coming
through the system. Press the up arrow for
warmer air-and the down arrow for cooler air.
Mode Button
Press this button to deliver air through the floor, middle
or windshiel'd outlets. The system will stay in the
selected mode until the
MODE or AUTO button is
pushed. Press the up arrow to cycle through the
available modes.
Automatic Operation
When the system is set for AUTO, sensors will control
the air delivery mode. Air will come from the floor,
middle and windshield outlets. The fan speed will vary
as the system maintains the selected temperature setting.
To find your comfort zone, start with 75 O F (24" C)
temperature setting and allow about 20 minutes for the
system to regulate. Press the TEMP button up or down
to adjust the temperature setting if necessary. If you
choose the temperature setting of 60°F (15 O C), the
system
will remain at that maximum cooling setting
and will not regulate the fan speed.
If you choose the
temperature setting
of 90°F (33 "C), the system will remain at that maximum heating setting and will not
regulate the
fan speed. Choosing either maximum
setting will not cause the system to heat or cool
any faster.
Pressing the
AUTO button will display the requested
temperature, fan speed and
air delivery mode for five
seconds, then change to display the outside air
temperature. Be careful not
to put anything over the
sensor located in the middle of the instrument panel near
the windshield, or over the sensor in the grille above the
radio. These sensors are used by the automatic system to
regulate temperature.
The exterior temperature display sensor is in front
of the
car, near the radiator. This displayed temperature is most
accurate when the vehicle is moving. During
stops, or
while idling, the display shows the previous dsaving
temperature
for best system control.
To avoid blowing cold air in cold weather, the system
will delay turning on the fan until warm air
is available.
The length
of delay depends on outside air temperature,
engine coolant temperature,
and time since the engine
was last started. Pushing the fan button will override this
delay and change the fan to a selected single speed.
If you leave your vehicle, the system will remember the
control setting the next time you start your engine.
