Black plate (2,1) Chevrolet Corvette Owner Manual - 2012
8-2 Climate Controls
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
Vehicle Personalization on
page 5‑54 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 10 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
16°C (60°F) and 32°C (90°F).
Choosing the coldest or warmest
temperature setting will not
cause the system to heat or cool
any faster. A setting of 23°C
(73°F) 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 “Sensors”
later in this section.
