When adjusting the temperature, start with a driver-set

temperature of 73 F (23 C) until you determine

your comfort zone. If you choose 60 F (16 C), the

system will remain at maximum cooling and will not

automatically adjust fan speed or air delivery. If you

choose 90 F (32 C), the system will remain at

maximum heating and will not automatically adjust fan

speed or air delivery. Choosing either maximum setting

will not cause the system to heat or cool any faster.

Turning the knob past either maximum setting has no

effect on the operation of the system.

Passenger Temperature Offset

The PASSENGER knob changes the temperature on the

passenger’s side of the vehicle. When the knob is in the

12 o’clock position, the passenger’s temperature is the

same as the driver’s. Turn the knob clockwise for warmer

air on the passenger’s side, counterclockwise for cooler air.

If the driver

-set temperature is set at 60 F (16 C) or

90 F (32 C), turning the passenger knob has no effect

because the system is locked at a maximum setting.

Automatic Operation

Press the AUTO button to place the entire system in the

automatic mode. After a five

-second display of the

current settings, only the word AUTO and the outside

temperature will be shown on the digital display unless

you are in full cold 60 F (16 C) or full hot 90 F

(32 C), then the word AUTO will not display. The

system will operate to achieve your comfort set

temperature as quickly as possible. The AUTO control

system works best with the windows up and the

removable roof installed or the convertible top up.

A Typical Cold Weather Example:

Your vehicle has been parked outside overnight in cold

weather below 32 F (0 C) and you have set the

driver temperature at 73 F (23 C) and have selected

the AUTO mode. The system will automatically adjust

the temperature output to maximum heating. The fan

will start at a low speed. This is to avoid blowing cold

air into the vehicle. The length of the delay depends on

the amount of time since the engine was last started, the

outside temperature and the engine coolant temperature.

As the coolant warms up, the fan speed will gradually

increase. Air will flow to the floor with some air to

the windshield to prevent fogging under most

normal conditions.
