Automatic Operation
Press the AUTO-PUSH knob when you want the system
to automatically adjust the interior temperature to your
preference. When the system
is
set for automatic
operation, air will come from the floor, upper or the
windshield outlets depending on the temperature inside
the vehicle, the outside temperature and the
sun
load.
Fan speed will vary as the system reaches and maintains
the comfort setting you have selected.
To
find your comfort setting, start with the system in
automatic mode by pressing the AUTO-PUSH knob.
Adjust the comfort setting by using the red and blue
buttons located below the digital display until
you
reach
a setting of
75°F
(24"C), on the display. Give the
vehicle about 20 minutes to stabilize and then readjust
the comfort setting
if
necessary. The display will show
the comfort setting for five seconds and then it will
show the outside temperature.
In
cold weather, the system will delay turning on the fan
to avoid blowing cold air. The length of the delay
depends
on
the engine coolant temperature and the
outside temperature. Rotating the AUTO
FAN
knob will
override this delay by turning off the automatic fan
mode and changing the fan speed.

Your automatic electronic climate control system has
two sun sensors located on the top of the instrument
panel that detect direct sunlight.
To
keep
you
and your
passengers comfortable, the system may supply cooler
air to the side toward the sun. Be careful not to put
anything over these sun sensors. The automatic
electronic climate control system may not operate
correctly
if
these sensors are covered.
To
change the automatic electronic climate control
display from an English display to a Metric display,
push the
OFF
button located in the Driver Information
Center (DIC) for two seconds. The display in the DIC
will also change from an English to a Metric display. To
return to an English display, repeat the above procedure.
