Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine With this dual-zone feature, the right front passenger can
control the temperature
of air for hisher own zone. The
passenger
can select a four degree warmer or cooler
temperature from the driver's setting. To turn the system
on, press the PASS/TEMP button. Press the up arrow to
increase the temperature and press the down arrow to
decrease the climate setting. Pressing the
OFF button
will
turn off the dual-zone function.
The outside temperature is always displayed when your
vehicle is running. You can change it from Fahrenheit to
Celsius by pressing the
INFO button (above the radio)
until ENGLHSH/METRIC RESET displays. Once
displayed, press the
INFO RESET button to select.
The outside temperature sensor
is located near the front
grille.
The sensor can be affected by road or engine heat
dnring idling, slow driving or when the engine is first
started after
a short trip. In order to ensure proper
automatic climate control operation,
the outside air
temperature display may not update as quickly
as
expected. This is to allow the air surrounding the outside
temperature sensor to be as close to
the actual outside
conditions as possible. This is determined by how much
time has elapsed since the vehicle has been turned
off
and by vehicle speed. Press this button to deliver
air through the floor, middle
or windshield outlets. The system will
stay in the selected
mode
until the MODE button is pushed again. Press the
up or down ~QW to cycle through the available modes.
Automatic
When the system is set for automatic operation, 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 the 75°F (24°C)
setting and allow about 20 minutes for the system to
regulate. Turn the
TEMP/AUTO knob to adjust the
temperature if necessary. If you' choose 60 OF ( 16 " 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.

a Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow or
any other obstruction (such as leaves). The heater
and defroster will work
far better, reducing the
chance of fogging the inside of the windows.
0 When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, adjust the
fan to
the highest speed for a few moments before
driving
off. This helps clear the intake outlets of
snow and moisture, and reduces the chance of
fogging

objects. This helps circulate air throughout
your vehicle.

quickly in extremely humid or cold conditions.
Press the DEFROST button.
If you select DEFROST,
adjust the fan speed by pressing the fan button up or
