Automatic climate control system (if equipped)
NOTE
D
Operate the automatic climate control system when the engine is
running.
D
When the engine coolant is cold, for instance in cold weather, the
air flows through the windshield defroster outlets and the blower
runs at the lowest speed to prevent cold air from blowing directly
against the driver and front passenger.
D
In the “AUTO” mode, if the air temperature in the passenger
compartment is cooled down to the specified temperature, the air
conditioner compressor stops automatically. For efficient defogging
or dehumidifying in cold weather, press the “A/C” switch on.
D
Even when cooling is not necessary, setting the temperature
much lower than the current outlet air temperature turns on the air
conditioner compressor automatically and the “A/C” indicator light
on the control panel comes on.
The automatic climate control system automatically controls outlet air
temperature, fan speed, air flow distribution air-inlet control, and air con-
ditioner compressor operation. It activates when the “AUTO” switch is
pressed, and is used in conjunction with the Temperature control dial to
maintain a constant, comfortable climate within the passenger compart-
ment.
The temperature can be set within a range of 65 – 85
°
F (18 – 32
°
C).
NOTE
The temperature is shown in units of Fahrenheit for US model and in
Centigrade for Canadian model.
