Automatic Operation
This climate control system
automatically maintains the desired
temperature inside the vehicle.
Do not cover the sensor located on
the top of the instrument panel near
the windshield or the sensor grille
below the climate control faceplate.
These two sensors help regulate the
inside air temperature.
AUTO (Automatic Fan): Turn the
fan knob to AUTO for the system
to automatically adjust the fan
speed to reach the desired inside
temperature.
Temperature Control: Select
the desired cabin air temperature
between 60-90°F (16-32°C).
Choosing the coldest or warmest
temperature setting does not cause
the system to heat or cool any faster.
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 recirculation button indicator
light is lit whenever the recirculation
mode is on.
Press the outside air button to
change to outside air. 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
A (Fan Control): Turn 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. To turn off the
air completely, turn the fan to
9 and
select the recirculation button.
