– CONTINUED –
NOTE
The temperature setting remains even after the ignition switch is
turned to the “OFF”. However, if the battery cables are discon-
nected, the temperature will be set to 77
°
F (25
°
C) automatically.
Set desired temperature by turning the temperature control dial; turn
the dial clockwise to raise the temperature setting and turn it counter-
clockwise to lower it.
The temperature can be set in increments of 1
°
F within a range of 65
– 85
°
F for US models and in increments of 0.5
°
C within a range of 18
– 32
°
C for Canadian models.
Even when quick cooling or warming is necessary, you do not have to
change the temperature setting. The Automatic Climate Control sys-
tem operates at maximum performance until the air in the passenger
compartment reaches to the specified temperature.

Temperature sensors
This Automatic Climate Control system employs the several sensors.
These are very delicate parts. Therefore, if these sensors are dam-
aged, it is possible that the Automatic Climate Control system will not
properly control the air temperature in the passenger compartment.
To prevent possible damage to the sensors, please observe the fol-
lowing:
– Do not allow anything to impact the sensors.
– Be careful not to let water contact the sensors.
– Do not cover the sensors.
The sensors are found at the following locations:
– Sun-load sensor (beside the windshield defroster grille)
– In-vehicle temperature sensor (beside the temperature control
dial.)
– Ambient sensor (at the under side of the bumper)
