Saturn 2008 Vue Automobile User Manual


 
AUTO (Automatic Air Delivery Mode): Turn the
air delivery mode knob to AUTO for the system to
automatically control the direction of the airflow to help
reach the desired inside temperature.
The system automatically controls the air inlet to supply
the outside air or recirculated inside air needed to heat
or cool the vehicle faster. The indicator light on the
recirculation button will be lit whenever the system
switches to recirculation.
You can switch to outside air by pressing the outside
air button. However, the recirculation mode may
turn back on automatically.
In cold weather, if the fan and air delivery modes are in
automatic, the system starts at lower fan speeds to avoid
directing cold air into the vehicle until warmer air is
available. The climate control system directs air to the
floor, but may automatically change modes as the vehicle
warms up to maintain the chosen temperature setting.
The length of time needed to warm the interior depends
on the outside temperature and inside temperature of
the vehicle.
Manual Operation
To change the current fan speed, turn the left knob.
A(Fan): Turn the left knob clockwise or
counterclockwise to increase or decrease the fan speed.
To turn the fan off, turn the left knob to the
9 position.
In any setting other than off, the fan runs continuously
with the ignition on. The fan must be turned on to run the
air conditioning compressor. There will be some airflow
noticeable from the various outlets when driving, even
with the fan in the off position. This is to ensure some
fresh air is always available in the vehicle. To turn off
the air completely, turn the fan to
9 and select the
recirculation button.
Temperature Control: Select the desired cabin air
temperature between 60-90°F (16-32°C). Typically,
the best setting is near 75°F (23°C). Choosing the
coldest or warmest temperature setting does not
cause the system to heat or cool any faster.
