Be careful not to cover the sensor located on the top of the instrument panel near the windshield. This sensor regulates air temperature based on sun load, and also turns on your headlamps. Also be careful not to cover the sensor grille on the lower right side of the climate control faceplate. This senses the inside vehicle temperature needed for proper regulation. To avoid blowing cold air at start-up in cold weather, the system delays turning on the fan until warm air is available. The length of delay depends on the engine coolant temperature. Turning the fan knob overrides this delay and change the fan to a selected speed. If your vehicle has the remote start feature, the climate control display initially shows "AS" in place of the temperature to indicate the remote start has been activated. The remote start system turns on using the last temperature selected before the vehicle was last turned off. For best performance, turn the fan and mode knobs to the AUTO position. The fan speed and air delivery modes will change to achieve the best comfort. If the outside air temperature is below 45°F and the air delivery mode knob is set to AUTO, the automatic climate control system starts in the defrost mode to clear the window. The automatic climate control changes back to manual operation by turning the vehicle on with the key. Manual Operation You can manually adjust the air delivery mode or fan speed. 9 (Off): Select this position on the fan knob to turn off the entire climate control system. Outside air will still enter the vehicle, and be directed to the floor. This direction can be changed by changing the mode position. The temperature can also be adjusted using either the up or down arrow temperature buttons. 9 (Fan): Turn the knob with the fan symbol to manually adjust the fan speed. 188
