MAX A/C button The MAX A/C feature allows for faster cooling because air is drawn from inside the vehicle. Using inside air causes the fan to sound louder which is normal for this selection. The Display window will change to indicate 60°F (16°C) and MAX A/C. The fan will run at high speed and the airflow will be from the instrument panel registers. To exit and return to the previous temperature, push AUTOMATIC or any of the other five override buttons. VENT button Push this button to select outside air through the instrument panel registers. The display window will show the set temperature and VENT to the lower right of the temperature. Your EATC will heat the air if the temperature you have selected is warmer than the outside air coming into the vehicle. However, the air will NOT be cooled regardless of the temperature setting. PNL & FLR button Push this button to get air from the floor and instrument panel registers at the same time. The display will show the set temperature and the words PNL and FLR. Depending on the selected temperature, the air will be automatically heated or cooled. FLOOR button Airflow will be to the floor when the FLOOR button is pressed. The display window will show the set temperature and FLR to the left of the temperature. The air cannot be cooled in the FLOOR position, only heated. Fan speed will be automatic unless manually controlled. If you override the fan speed and wish to return to automatic fan control, push AUTOMATIC. Then, again select FLOOR for airflow to the floor. 77
