Transmitter Range Suggestions:
The range of the Passive Keyless
EMry system is very dependent on
bow
the transmitter is held. For
opthum range hd performance,
hold the transmitter
vertically when
approaching the vehicle.
If the range gradually decreases over
time even though the transiitter is
held
vertically, change the battery in
the transmitter.
The range will decrease if mure than
one3ransmitter is in range at the same
time.
Avoid taking more than one-
transmitter into vehicle range at the
same time.
Do not put the transmitter into a
metal container, which
will prevent
the
.signal from getting- to the vehicle.

Automutic Ekctronic
Climate Control (OPTION)
With this system, you can control the
ventilation, heating
and air conditioning
in your vehicle, or you can use the
automatic setting.
Your vehicle also has
the flow-through ventilation system
described later
in this section.
The digital screen displays the outside
temperature, the inside temperature
setting, and the fan speed.
If the inside
temperature is changed,
or if the system
is changed from
OFF to any mode, the
inside temperature setting will be
displayed for several seconds before the
outside temperature is again displayed.
The
air conditioner compressor operates
in all air conditioning positions, and in
(@ (Defrost) when the outside
temperature is above freezing.
When
the air conditioner is on, you may
sometimes notice slight changes in your
vehicle's engine speed and power. This
is normal, because the Automatic
EIectronic Climate Control system
is
designed to cycle the compressor on
and off to keep the desired cooling and
to
help your vehicle's fuel economy.
TEMP SET: This control sets the
interior temperature you want. Press
V to lower the inside temperature
setting; press
A to raise the setting.
The temperature
you set will be
displayed on the digital screen.
Once you set the temperature you want,
the system will try to maintain this temperature,
whether
you are using the
heating
or the cooling controls.
However, if you set the temperature for
60°F (16°C) or 90°F (3Z°C), the fan will
stay on 3p udess you select a
different speed.
Your Automatic Electronic Climate
Control system
has three sensors. The
sun load sensor on top of the dashboard
detects increased interior temperature
caused by sunlight.
To keep you
comfortable, it reduces the interior
temperature
by as much as 5°F (3°C)
below the setting on the digital screen.
The outside air temperature sensor,
located on the right
side of the upper
radiator support
in the grille opening,
reads the outside temperature.
This is
what you usually see on the display.

The outside ternperatufe sensor reading
is filtered (to minimize false readings)
as follows:
If- the outside temperature decreases,
the -&splayed temperature
will update
immediately.
I€- the outside temperature increases
(such as when stopped in traffic), the
displayed temperature will not update
until one
of the following eonditiom
is met:
Vehicle speed is above 25 mph
Vehicle speed 'is above 45 mph
Updates will occur continuously as long
as the vehicle speed remains above
25 mph (40 Wh).
zf the ignition is turned off for more
than three hours, the current outside air
tempepature when the vehicle is restarted
will be stored in the system immediately.
The third sensor
is the in-vehicle
tempefature sensor, located
in-the
center air outlet on the passenger side.
If you block or cover either interior
sensor, the sensor
will give your system
a false reading.

AUTO # (Automatic Fan): when

In the AUTO mode
during hot weather (after the vehicle

the vehicle of hot interior air. In the

fan speed, press the A button and

Fan speeds wil1 range from 1 (lowest
setting)
to 10 (highest setting). When
any fan speed is selected, it will appear
on the digital screen briefly and the
ot~tside temperature will also appear.
Air Conditioning System
If a light above a button flashes when
you turn
on the ignition, it may indicate
an electrical problem with your air
conditioning system. The flashing will
continue for one minute, then go but. It
means you should have your system
checked
and serviced if needed.
It may
also mean the rekigerant level is
too low in your air conditioner system.
The. light will still flash after rebigerant
is added. This means your system will
not cool the air until it is reset.

On She Road
Uidess you are the -only driver, it is good
to share the driving task with others.
Limit turns behind
the wheel to about
100 miles (160 km) Or two hours at a
sitting.-Then, either change drivers ar
stop for some rdreshment like coffee,
tea or
soft drinks and some limbering
up.
But do stop and move around. Eat
lightly along the way. Heavier meals
tend to
mdke some people sleepy.
On two-lane highways or
undivided
multilane highways that do not have
controlled .access,.you’ll
wmt to watch
for some situations :not usustlly found
on freeways. Examples: are: stop signs
and signals, shopping tenters with
direct access
to the highway, no passing
zones and school zones, vehicles
turning
le& and- right off the-road,
pedestrians, cyclists, parked vehicles, and even a&&.
Highway Hypnosis
Is thete-actually such a condition as
“highway hypnosis”? Or
is it just plain
falling asleep at the wheel? Call it
highway hypnosis, lack
of awareness, or
whatever.
There is
something about an easy
stretch
of road with the same scenery,
along with the
hum of the tires on the
road, the drone of the engine; and the
rush of the wind against the vehicle that
can make you sleepy. Don’t let it
happen
to you! If it does, your vehicle
can leave the road in less than a
second, and you could crash and be
injured.
What can you do about highway
hypnosis? First, be aware that it can
happen.
Then here
are some tips:
4 Make sure your vehicle is well
ventilated,
with a comfortably cool
interior.
Keep your eyes moving. Sca.n the road
ahead and
-to the sides. Check your
rearview mirrors frequently and your
instruments from time to time. This
can help you avoid
a fixed stare.
Wear good sunglasses in bright light.
Glare can cause drowsiness. But
don’t
wear sunglasses at night. They will.
drastically reduce-your,overall.~sion
at the very time you need all the.
seeing power
you have.
If you get sleepy, pull off the road into
a rest, service, &‘parking area and
take a nap, get so.me exercise, or both.
For safety, treat drowsiness on the
highway
as an emergency.
As in any driving situation, keep pace
with traffic and allow adequate
foIlowing distances.
