Chevrolet 2009 Corvette Automobile User Manual


 
When the vehicle is first started, the display shows the
driver’s temperature setting, the outside temperature,
the fan speed and the air delivery, for about 10 seconds.
The outside temperature is shown in the center of
the display. The digital display will show the readings
in Fahrenheit or Celsius. See “Personal Options”
under DIC Vehicle Personalization on page 3-73
for information on changing your display.
Automatic Operation
AUTO (Automatic): Press the AUTO button to place
the entire system in the automatic mode. When automatic
operation is active, the system automatically controls 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
operates to reach the 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 starts 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 depends on the outside
temperature and the length of time that has
elapsed since the 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.
