Driver Set Temperature Knob The DRIVER knob changes the temperature on the driver's and passenger's side of the vehicle. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the temperature and counterclockwise to decrease the temperature. Whenever you turn this knob, the temperature will be displayed for approximately five seconds along with the current fan speed and air delivery mode. When adjusting the temperature, start with a driver-set temperature of 73_F (23_C) until you determine your comfort zone. If you choose 60_F (16_C), the system will remain at maximum cooling and will not automatically adjust fan speed or air delivery. If you choose 90_F (32_C), the system will remain at maximum heating and will not automatically adjust fan speed or air delivery. Choosing either maximum setting will not cause the system to heat or cool any faster. Turning the knob past either maximum setting has no effect on the operation of the system. Passenger Temperature Offset The PASSENGER knob changes the temperature on the passenger's side of the vehicle. When the knob is in the 12 o'clock position, the passenger's temperature is the same as the driver's. Turn the knob clockwise for warmer air on the passenger's side, counterclockwise for cooler air. If the driver-set temperature is set at 60_F (16_C) or 90_F (32_C), turning the passenger knob has no effect because the system is locked at a maximum setting. Automatic Operation Press the AUTO button to place the entire system in the automatic mode. After a five-second display of the current settings, only the word AUTO and the outside temperature will be shown on the digital display unless you are in full cold 60_F (16_C) or full hot 90_F (32_C), then the word AUTO will not display. The system will operate to achieve your comfort set temperature as quickly as possible. The AUTO control system works best with the windows up and the removable roof installed or the convertible top up. 3-5
