system was set for
FRONT
however,
it
comes back on
in AUTO
if
the engine is off for more than
40
minutes.
The
air
conditioner and heater work best
if
you keep the
windows closed while using them. Your vehicle has the
flow-through ventilation system described later in this
section.
The digital displays shows the inside temperature setting
or the outside temperature. The outside temperature
sensor is most accurate when the vehicle is moving.
During stops, the outside temperature display shows the
previous driving temperature for best accuracy and
system control.
The display also shows the fan speed when it is in
manual mode,
AUTO
when the system is in automatic
mode, and
OFF
when the system is turned
off.
If you have the
LS
or Electronic cluster, press the E/M
(EnglisMetric) button near the odometer to cycle the
display between
OF
and
"C.
Pressing the
E/M
button
will also cycle all other displays between English and
metric units.
Manual
Mode
In
manual mode, you select the direction of air flow and
fan speed. The system will determine the amount
of
heating
or
cooling needed to maintain the temperature
you select. Air conditioning can be selected or turned
off
as desired, except in the DEFOG and FRONT modes.
Automatic
Mode
In
automatic mode, the amount of
air
conditioning or
heating, direction of air flow, and fan speed are
automatically controlled to maintain the temperature
you select. You can
also
manually control either the fan
speed or direction of air flow, leaving the other function
in automatic.
Air
conditioning can be selected or turned
off
as desired, except in the DEFOG and FRONT
modes.
When the engine is cold, fan speed is kept low until
warm air is available.
When the system is set for FRONT defrost, the fan
speed starts low to reduce windshield fogging,
if
any
snow is on the hood as you start driving. Fan speed will
increase briefly after short stops when the engine has
been turned
off
to reduce any stuffy feeling.
