AUTO:
Press to engage automatic temperature control. Use the
temperature control to select the desired temperature setting. The
system will automatically determine fan speed, airflow location, A/C on
or off, and outside or recirculated air to heat or cool the vehicle, allowing
it to reach the desired temperature. Press and hold AUTO for about two
seconds to toggle between single zone and dual zone temperature
control.
Dual Automatic Temperature Control (DATC) system operating tips
•
To reduce fog build up on the windshield during humid weather, place
the air flow selector in the
position.
•
To reduce humidity build up inside the vehicle, do not drive with the
system OFF, or with recirculated air
engaged and A/C off.
•
Do not put objects under the front seats that will interfere with the
airflow to the back seats.
•
Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of
the windshield.
•
To improve the A/C cool down, drive with the windows slightly open
for 2-3 minutes after start up or until the vehicle has been “aired out.”
During extreme high ambient temperatures when idling stationary for
extended periods of time in gear, it is recommended to run the A/C in
the MAX A/C mode, reduce blower fan speed from the highest setting
and put the vehicle’s transmission into the PARK gear position
(automatic transmission only) to continue to receive cool air from your
A/C system.
•
For maximum cooling performance (MAX A/C):
Automatic operation:
•
Press AUTO for full automatic operation.
•
Do not override A/C or
(recirculated air).
•
Set the temperature to 60°F (16°C).
Override operation:
•
Select air distribution.
•
Select A/C and
(recirculated air). Use
(recirculated air) with
A/C to provide colder airflow.
•
Set the temperature to 60°F (16°C).
•
Set highest fan speed initially, then adjust to maintain comfort.
