Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Safety Belt Reminder Light
When the key is turned to RUN or START, a chime will
come on for about eight seconds to remind people to
fasten their safety belts,
unless the driver’s safety belt is
already buckled.
The safety belt light will
also come on and stay
on for about
20 seconds,
then
it will flash for about
70 seconds. If the driver’s
belt is already buckled,
neither the chime nor the
light will come on.
Air Bag Readiness Light
There is an air bag readiness light on the instrument
panel, which shows
AIR BAG. The system checks the
air bag’s electrical system for malfunctions. The light
tells
you if there is an electiical problem. The system
check includes the air bag sensors, the air bag modules,
the wiring and the crash sensing and diagnostic module.
For more information on the air bag system, see “Air
Bag” in the Index.
, You will see this light flash
for a few seconds when you
turn your ignition to RUN
or START. Then the light
should
go out. This means
,, the system is ready.
If the air bag readiness light doesn’t come on when you
start your vehicle, or stays on, or comes on when you
are driving, your air bag system may not work properly.
Have your vehicle serviced right away.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Fan Button
The button with the fan symbol adjusts the fan speed.
Press the up arrow to increase fan speed and the down
arrow to decrease fan speed.
Temperature Button
The red and blue temperature buttons adjust the air
temperature coming through the system. Press the blue
button for
a cooler setting or the red button for a warmer
setting. The outside temperature
is always displayed
when your vehicle
is running. You can change it from
Fahrenheit
to Celsius by pressing the ENG/MET
(English/metric) button on the
DIC.
Mode Controls
The AUTO/ECON button automatically controls the
direction of air delivery for air conditioning and non-air
conditioning modes.
Automatic Operation
When the system is set for AUTO, sensors will control
the air delivery mode. Air will come from the
floor,
middle or windshield outlets. The fan speed will vary as
the system maintains the selected temperature setting. Be
careful not
to put anything over the solar sensor
located in the middle of the instrument panel near the
windshield. This sensor is used by the automatic system
to regulate temperature.
To find your comfort zone, start with
75°F (24°C)
setting, allow about 20 minutes for the system to
regulate. Press the red or blue temperature buttons to
adjust the temperature if necessary. If you choose 60°F
(1 6"C), the system will remain at that maximum cooling
setting and will not regulate fan speed.
If you choose the
temperature
of 90°F (32 "C), the system will remain at
that maximum heating setting and will not regulate fan
speed. Choosing either maximum setting will not cause
the system
to heat or cool any faster.
With this setting, the air conditioning compressor
automatically cycles when needed to
cool the air. In
cold weather, when the system senses the need for
heat, the airflow will be directed
out the floor outlets.
As the interior temperature approaches a desired setting,
the blower speed will decrease.
To maintain interior
comfort, the airflow may move
to the instrument panel
air outlets and floor outlets
(BI-LEVEL mode). On
bright, sunny days in cold weather, the airflow may
come
out of the A/C outlets (A/C mode) to maintain
comfort and prevent stuffiness.

With this setting, the air conditioning compressor
automatically cycles when needed to cool the air.
In cold
weather, when the system senses the need for heat, the
airflow will be directed out
the floor outlets. As the
interior temperature approaches a desired setting, the
blower speed
will decrease. To maintain interior
comfort, the airflow may move
to the instrument panel
air outlets and floor outlets
(BI-LEVEL mode). On
bright sunny days in cold weather, the airflow may come
out
of the A/C outlets (AC mode) to maintain comfort
and prevent stuffiness.
If your vehicle is sitting
out on a hot day and you have it
set on AUTO, the air will first flow out the floor air
outlets for a few seconds. That is normal. This
is to
expel hot air in the air outlets. As the air is cooled, the
airflow will move through the A/C outlets. If you start
your vehicle
with the fan setting on HI it will skip the
A/C Purge.
To avoid blowing cold air in cold weather, the system will
delay turning on the fan until warm
air is available. The
length of delay depends on the outside
air temperature,
engine coolant temperature or the time since the'engine
was last started.
As the coolant warms up, the blower fan
speed will gradually increase and
air will flow from the
heater outlets, with some airflow to the windshield to
prevent fogging under most normal conditions.
If you leave your vehicle, the system will remember the
control setting the next time you start your engine,
except for recirculation and defrost. Each ignition cycle
cancels recirculation, whereas,
DEFROST will change
to AUTO when the ignition is shut off and then turned
back
on.
Manual Operation
You may manually adjust the air delivery mode or fan
speed.

in two ways. Cool air is directed to the upper
portion
of your body through the middle instrument
panel outlets while warmed air
is directed to the floor,
’’ HEATER/DEFROS’E This setting directs air to

DEFROST Press this button to quickly remove
fog
or frost from the windshield. This setting sends most
of the airflow to the windshield with only a small
amount to the
floor outlets.
@? DE-ICE (Option): Pressing this button helps to
remove ice or frost from the windshield. See “Heated
Windshield’’ later in this section.
DEFOG: Press this, button to divide the air between the
windshield and the heater outlets. This is useful when
fog appears on the windshield or side glass due
to
sudden rain or snowy conditions. This feature is not
available with the heated windshield option.
% FAN SPEEDS: Press the button with the fan
symbol until
AUTO is displayed on the screen. At this
setting, the
fan speed is automatically controlled. If it is
cold outside, the blower may not run
in the maximum
high fan speed right away. The system checks the
temperature of the engine coolant
to assure it is warm
enough
to provide heat. When the engine coolant is
warm, the controller allows the fan to gradually increase
to a higher speed. This prevents cold air from blowing
into the passenger compartment.
If you want the blower
fan at
a high speed, press the up arrow button until you
see HIGH on the display. If you want the fan speed to be
automatic, but you like the fan speed
to be higher than
the
AUTO setting, press the fan symbol button until
HIGH AUTO is shown on the display. If you want the
blower fan at a low speed, press the down arrow button
until
LOW is shown on the display. If you want the fan
speed
to run lower than the AUTO setting, press the
button until LOW AUTO is shown
on the display.
OFF: Press this button to turn the system off. Fresh air
will continue to flow through the vehicle, and the
system will try to maintain the previously
set
temperature. The outside temperature will show on the
display when the system is OW.
