Chevrolet 2008 Corvette Automobile User Manual


 
Automatic Operation
AUTO (Automatic): Press the AUTO button to place the
entire system in the automatic mode. When automatic
operation is active, the system will automatically control
the inside temperature, the air delivery mode, and the
fan speed.
After a ten second display of the current settings,
the word AUTO, the driver’s temperature setting and
the outside temperature will be shown. The system will
operate to achieve your comfort set temperature as
quickly as possible. The AUTO control system works best
with the windows up and the removable roof installed or
the convertible top up.
1. Press the AUTO button.
2. Adjust the temperature to a comfortable setting
between 60°F (16°C) and 90°F (32°C). Choosing
the coldest or warmest temperature setting will
not cause the system to heat or cool any faster.
A setting of 73°F (23°C) is suggested.
In cold weather, the system will start at reduced fan
speeds to avoid blowing cold air into your vehicle
until warmer air is available. The system will start
out blowing air at the floor but may change modes
automatically as the vehicle warms up to maintain
the chosen temperature setting. The length of time
needed for warm up will depend on the outside
temperature and the length of time that has elapsed
since your vehicle was last driven.
3. Wait for the system to regulate. This may take
from 10 to 30 minutes. Then adjust the temperature,
if necessary.
Do not cover the solar sensor located in the center of
the instrument panel, near the windshield. For more
information on the solar sensor, see “Sensor” later in
this section.
Manual Operation
Driver Power/Temperature: Press the driver
temperature knob on the driver side of the climate
control panel to turn the climate control system off.
This is the only setting that completely shuts off
the fan. The digital display will show only the outside
temperature. You can still adjust the driver and the
passenger set temperature and the air intake mode
when the climate control is off.
Passenger Power/Temperature: Press the passenger
temperature knob on the passenger side of the climate
control panel to turn the passenger’s climate control
system on or off. Turn the knob to increase or decrease
the temperature for the passenger. If the passenger’s
climate control system is off, the driver’s temperature
knob will control the temperature for the entire vehicle.
