operating range can be input at this time.
Climate Control Personalization
With this feature, your vehicle will recall the latest
climate control settings as adjusted the last time your
vehicle was operated. This feature allows two different
drivers to store and recall their own climate control
settings. The settings recalled by the climate control
system are determined by which remote keyless entry

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Radio Personalization
With this feature, your vehicle will recall the latest radio
settings as adjusted the last time your vehicle was
operated. This feature allows two different drivers to
store and recall their own radio settings for
AM and FM
presets, last tuned station, volume, tone and audio
source (radio, cassette or CD). The settings recalled by
the radio are determined by which remote keyless entry
transmitter
(“1” or “2”) was used to enter the vehicle.
The number on the back
of the remote keyless entry
transmitter corresponds to driver
1 or to driver 2. After
the unlock button is pressed on the remote keyless entry
transmitter and the ignition is in RUN, the radio settings
will automatically adjust to where they were last set by
the identified driver. The settings can also be changed by
briefly pressing the memory seat buttons
1 or 2 located

vehicle. Automatic ride control is achieved through a
computer controller used to control and monitor the
suspension system. The computer controller receives
inputs from various sensors to determine the proper
system response.
If the computer controller detects a
problem within the system, the Driver Information
Center (DIC) will display a SERVICE RIDE
CONTROL message.
If this message appears, have
your vehicle serviced at your dealership.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Driver’s Side 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.
Passenger’s Side Temperature Knob
With this 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 knob on the passenger’s
side armrest. Rotate the knob to the right to increase
the temperature and turn to the left to decrease the
temperature. Press the knob again to turn the system
off.
Outside Temperature Display
The outside temperature is always displayed when your
vehicle is running. You can change it from Fahrenheit to
Celsius by pressing the ENG/MET (EnglisWmetric)
button on the Driver Information Center (DIC).
The outside temperature sensor is located near the
front grille. The sensor can be affected by road or
engine heat during 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.
Mode Controls
The AUTOECON button automatically controls the
direction
of air delivery for air conditioning and non-air
conditioning modes.
Automatic Operation
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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine To find your comfort zone, start with the 75 "F (24°C)
setting and allow about 30 minutes for the system to
regulate. Press the red or blue temperature buttons
to adjust the temperature if necessary. If you choose
60°F (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.
With the automatic 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 air conditioning 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 from the air outlets.
As the air is cooled,
the airflow will move through the air conditioning
outlets. If you start your vehicle with the
fan setting on
HI, it will
skip the air conditioning 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 warrns 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 automatic operation when the ignition is shut off and
then turned back on.
