Outside Air Intake
Make sure the air intake, located directly in front of
the windshield, is free of obstructions such as
leaves. Leaves collected in the air intake may
reduce airflow and if they enter the plenum they
could plug the water drains. In winter months make
sure the air intake is clear of ice, slush and snow.
A/C Air Filter — If Equipped
The climate control system filters out dust, pollen
and some odors from the air. Strong odors can not
be totally filtered out. Refer to section 7 “Air
Conditioning” for filter replacement instructions.
Infrared Three-Zone Automatic
Temperature Control — If Equipped
The Infrared Three-Zone Automatic Temperature
Control System automatically maintains the inte-
rior comfort level desired by the driver and all
passenger. This is accomplished by using three
infrared sensors located in the center of the
instrument panel. The three infrared sensors inde-
pendently measure the surface temperature of the
driver and passenger. Based on the sensor input,
the system automatically adjusts the air tempera-
ture, the air flow volume, and amount of outside air
recirculation. This maintains a comfortable tem-
perature even under changing conditions.
Operation of the system is quite simple. Begin by
pressing the rocker switch to one of the“AUTO”
positions. Dial in the temperature you would like
the system to maintain by pressing the driver’s or
passenger’s control button. Once the desired
temperature is displayed, the system will achieve
and maintain that comfort level automatically.
NOTE:
It is not necessary to move the temperature
setting for cold or hot vehicles. The system
automatically adjusts the temperature, mode
and fan speed to provide comfort as quickly as
possible.
The temperature can be displayed in U.S. or
Metric by pressing the US/M button on the over-
head console.
The left rocker switch can be used to control the
blower fan when in the “AUTO” position. Within the
“AUTO” setting on this control, you can select a
“HI” volume of air from the blower or a “LO”
volume. Once the system is set up for your
comfort level, it is not necessary to change the
setting. You will experience the greatest efficiency
by simply allowing the system to function auto-
matically.
Power Button
Pressing this button will turn the entire system on
or off.
Manual Operation
However, this system does offer a full complement
of manual override features. The “AUTO” light in
the display will be turned off when the system is
being used in the manual mode.
