UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 317 Manual Operation This system offers a full complement of manual override features. The AUTO symbol in the front ATC display will be turned off when the system is being used in the manual mode. NOTE: Each of these features operate independently from each other. If any one feature is controlled manually, the temperature doors will continue to operate automatically. The blower fan speed can be set to any fixed speed by pressing the Front Upper ATC Panel blower rocker button. The fan will now operate at a fixed speed until additional speeds are selected. This allows the front occupants to control the volume of air circulated in the vehicle and cancel the AUTO mode. The operator can also select the direction of the airflow by selecting one of the following positions. Panel Mode Air is directed through the outlets in the instrument panel. These outlets can be adjusted for direction, and turned on or off to control airflow. NOTE: For maximum airflow to the rear, the center instrument panel outlets can be directed toward the rear seat passengers. Bi-Level Mode Air comes from the instrument panel outlets, floor outlets and defrost outlets. A slight amount of air is also directed through the side window demister outlets. NOTE: In many temperature positions, the BI-LEVEL mode is designed to provide cooler air out of the panel outlets and warmer air from the floor outlets. 4
