2006 Dodge Magnum Owner Manual SRT8 - Page 181

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 181 • On vehicles equipped with diesel engines the blower fan will initially operate at a minimum speed to provide you with maximum comfort in the fan automatic mode during cold weather start-ups. Then, as the engine warms up the fan will gradually increase its speed. This feature will avoid blowing cold air to the driver and/or passengers, which increases comfort level. However, the fan will engage immediately by adjusting the blower control knob (left knob) to a position other than HI AUTO or LO AUTO. • Most of the time, when in Automatic operation, you can temporarily put the system into recirculation mode by pressing the Recirc button. However, under certain conditions in automatic the system is blowing air out of the defrost vents. When these conditions are present and the Recirc button is pressed the indicator will flash and remain off. This tells you that you are unable to go into recirculation mode at this time. If you would like to go to Recirculation mode, you must first move your mode knob to panel, panel/floor or floor, then hit the recirc button. This feature will reduce the possibility of window fogging. Manual Operation This system offers a full complement of manual override features which consist of Blower Preferred Automatic, Mode Preferred Automatic, or Blower and Mode Preferred Automatic. This means the customer can override the blower, the mode, or both. There is a manual blower range used when the AUTO setting is not desired. The left control can be set to any fixed blower speed by rotating the knob. NOTE: Please read the Automatic Temperature Control Operation Chart below for details. 4
