Automatic Operation
Operation of the system is quite simple.
1. Turn the Mode Control knob (right knob) and the
Blower Control knob (left knob) to AUTO.
NOTE: The AUTO position performs best for front seat
occupants only.
2. Dial in the temperature you would
like the system to maintain by ro-
tating the Temperature Control
knob (center knob). Once the com-
fort level is selected, the system will
maintain that level automatically
using the heating system. Should
the desired comfort level require air conditioning, the
system will automatically make the adjustment.
You will experience the greatest efficiency by simply
allowing the system to function automatically. Selecting
the “O” (OFF) position on the blower control stops the
system completely and closes the outside air intake.
The recommended setting for maximum comfort for the
average person is 72°F (22°C); however, this may vary.
NOTE:
• The temperature setting can be adjusted at anytime
without affecting automatic operation.
• Pushing the Air Conditioning Control button while in
AUTO mode will cause the LED in the control button
to flash three times and then turn off. This indicates
that the system is in AUTO mode and requesting the
air conditioning is not necessary.
