Automatic Operation Press the AUTO-PUSH knob when you want the system to automatically adjust the interior temperature to your preference. When the system is set for automatic operation, air will come from the floor, the panel outlets or the windshield outlets depending on the temperature inside the vehicle, the outside temperature, the engine coolant temperature and the sun load. Fan speed will vary as the system reaches and maintains the comfort setting you have selected. To find your comfort setting, start with the system in automatic mode by pressing the AUTO-PUSH knob. Adjust the comfort setting by using the red and blue buttons located below the digital display until you reach a setting of 75_F (24_C) on the display. Give the vehicle about 30 minutes to stabilize and then readjust the comfort setting if necessary. The display will show the comfort setting for five seconds and then it will show the outside temperature. In cold weather, the system will delay turning on the fan to avoid blowing cold air. The length of the delay depends on the engine coolant temperature and the outside temperature. Turning the AUTO FAN knob will override this delay by turning off the automatic fan mode and changing the fan speed. Your automatic electronic climate control system has a sun sensor located on the top of the instrument panel that detects direct sunlight. To keep you and your passengers comfortable, the system may supply cooler air to the side toward the sun. Be careful not to put anything over this sun sensor. The automatic electronic climate control system may not operate correctly if this sensor is covered. To change the automatic electronic climate control display from an English display to a metric display, push the OFF button located in the Driver Information Center (DIC) for two seconds. The display in the DIC will also change from an English to a metric display. To return to an English display, repeat the above procedure. 3-4
