Control Assembly Description CJ2

With this system, you set a desired cabin temperature. You can then either let the system automatically control airflow direction and amount (to maintain the desired cabin temperature) or you can manually adjust it. The system works best if you keep your windows closed while using it.

Automatic Control

For most efficient operation, you should set the system temperature and press AUTO. The system will select the best fan speed and airflow settings to keep you comfortable. The air conditioning compressor will run if the outside temperature is above 38°F (3.3°C). You may notice a delay of three to four minutes before the fan comes on.

Driver's Temperature Knob

The left knob sets the temperature for the entire system when the light on DUAL button is not lit. If the light is lit, the knob sets the temperature for the driver. Turn the knob toward red (to the right) to raise the desired cabin temperature. Turn it toward blue (to the left) to lower the temperature. The display will show your selection for a few seconds, then the outside temperature will show or be displayed.

Passenger's Temperature Knob

The right knob sets the desired cabin temperature for the passenger and will automatically force the system into a dual zone operation, lighting the dual zone button light. Turn the right knob toward red (to the right) to raise the temperature. Turn it toward blue (to the left) to lower the temperature.

Dual Zone Button Light

The dual zone button light indicates whether the system is in single zone or dual zone operation. When their is no desire for dual zone operation, push the lit dual zone button to return to single zone operation. The dual zone button light will go off.

The system will operate to achieve your comfort set point as quick as possible. If you set the temperature for 60°F (16°C) or 90°F (32°C), the fan will go to it's highest speed, unless you manually select a lower speed. The system will maintain full cold or full hot operation at these settings.

MANUAL CONTROL

To control HVAC operation outside of the AUTO mode.

Fan Buttons

The fan buttons select the amount of air you want when the system is not in AUTO. The display will show the fan speed by illuminating a maximum of seven fan bars.

Mode Button

The center panel has several settings to control the direction of airflow when the system is not in AUTO. The indicator light on the button will glow when the button is pressed. To access the various modes available, continue to press the MODE button until the desired mode appears on the display.

If you prefer to manually control the heating, cooling and ventilation in your vehicle, push UPPER, BI-LEVEL, LOWER, DEFOG or AUTO will go off the display. Set the system to the temperature and fan speed you want. The system will try to maintain the temperature you set using the mode you select. The following suggestions will help the system run more efficiently in manual mode.

RCIRC: This setting recirculates much of the air inside your vehicle and sends it through the instrument panel outlets. The air conditioning compressor will run automatically in this setting unless the outside temperature is below 38°F (3.3°C).

UPPER: This setting brings in the outside air directs it through the instrument panel outlets.

BI-LEVEL: This setting brings in the outside air and directs it two ways. Half of the air is directed through the instrument panel outlets. Most of the remaining air is directed through the floor ducts and a little to the defrost and side window vents.

LOWER: This setting sends most of the air through the ducts near the floor. The remaining airflow comes out of the defroster an side window vents.

DEFOG: This setting allows half of the air to go to the floor ducts and half to the defroster and side window vents.

DEF: This setting directs most of the air through the defrost vent. Some of the air goes to the floor ducts and the side window vents. The air conditioning compressor will run automatically in this setting unless the outside temperature is below 38°F (3.3°C).
