UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 203 When the ATC display reads ЉREAR AUTOЉ or when the rear fan is off, the switch located in the center console between the second row seats is not functional. When the ATC display reads ЉREARЉ, only the rear seat occupants can control the rear fan speed from the rear switch. When in the "REAR" mode, the rear occupants can set the rear switch to any fan speed including ЉOFFЉ, or ЉAUTOЉ. While in the ЉAUTOЉ position, the rear fan speed will be automatically controlled. Summer Operation The engine cooling system in air conditioned vehicles must be protected with a high-quality antifreeze coolant to provide proper corrosion protection and to protect against engine overheating. A 50% solution of ethylene glycol antifreeze coolant in water is recommended. Refer to section 7, Maintenance Procedures, of this manual for proper coolant selection. Winter Operation To insure the best possible heater and defroster performance, make sure the engine cooling system is functioning properly and the proper amount, type, and concentration of coolant is used. Refer to section 7, Maintenance Procedures, of this manual for proper coolant selection. Use of the air Recirculation mode during winter months is not recommended because it may cause window fogging. Vacation Storage Anytime you store your vehicle, or keep it out of service (i.e. vacation) for two weeks or more, run the air conditioning system at idle for about five minutes in the fresh air and high blower setting. This will insure adequate system lubrication to minimize the possibility of compressor damage when the system is started again. 4
