When the ENG/MET (English/metric) button on the
Driver Information Center (DIC) is pressed, the display
shows readings in Fahrenheit or Celsius. Use the
ENG/MET button to toggle between the readings.
AUTO (Automatic Air Conditioning): If AUTO
is selected on the fan or mode control, the system
automatically controls the air conditioning compressor.
The A/C compressor runs automatically even at cool
outside temperatures in order to dehumidify the air.
The A/C indicator light is lit when the system is operating
automatically. Press the A/C button on the fan control
to turn off the A/C. To clear windows better in defog or
defrost modes, the A/C compressor runs automatically
in damp cool conditions.
h (Auto Recirculation): If AUTO is selected on
either the fan or mode control, the system automatically
controls the supply of fresh outside air or recirculates the
interior air to cool the car faster. The indicator light on
the recirculation button will light whenever the system
switches to recirculation. You may force outside air by
pressing the outside air button. The next time AUTO fan
or mode is selected, it will reset back to AUTO operation.
