Comfort Controls This section tells you how to operate your comfort controls. Your comfort control system uses ozone-friendly R- 134a refrigerant. With these systems, you can control the heating, cooling and ventilation in your Buick. Your vehicle also has a flow-through ventilation system described later in this section. Dual Automatic ComforTemp Climate Control Your Buick has the dual automatic comfortemp climate control system. The following information tells you how it works. You will hear a beep each time a button is pushed and a small light on the button will indicate which buttons are active. The lights are on all buttons except TEMP, FAN and AIR FLOW. The display will show fan speed, comfort level setting and airflow direction for a few seconds whenever any button, except for therear defog, is pushed, and then it will display the outside temperature. The outside temperature reading is most accurate when the vehicle is moving. During stops, when driving slow, or when the engine is first started after a short trip, the outside temperature reading can be affected byroad or engine heat. In order to ensure proper automatic climate control operation, the outside temperature display may not update as quickly as expected. Personal Choice Comfort Controls (If Equipped) This feature allows two different drivers to store and recall their own climate control settings for temperature, air delivery mode, fan and passenger climate control (ordoff) status. The Personal Choice settings recalled are determined by the transmitter used to enter the vehicle. After the UNLOCK button of a remote keyless entry transmitter is pressed, and the ignition is inRUN, the climate control will adjust to the last settings of the identified driver. The settings can also be changed by briefly pressing one of the MEMORY seat switches located on the driver's door panel. When adjustments are made, the new settings are automatically saved for the driver. 3-2
