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
transmitter
(“1” or “2”) was used to enter the vehicle.

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

the climate control settings will automatically adjust to
where they were last
set. The settings can also be
changed by briefly pressing the memory seat
buttons
1 or 2 located on the driver’s door.

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.

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.

This feature lets you know when to change the engine
oil. It’s based on the engine oil temperatures and your
driving patterns.
To see the display, press the INFO
button several times until XX OIL LIFE LEFT appears.
If you see 99% OIL LIFE LEFT, 99 percent of your
current oil life remains.
The Driver Information Center (DIC) may display
a

a written record
of the mileage and date when you
changed your
oil. For more information, see the
Maintenance Schedule booklet.
If you see CHANGE
ENGINE OIL, it means that you have less than
10 percent of the oil life left and you should consider
changing your engine oil.
The system should indicate changing the
oil between
3,000 miles (5 000 kmj and 7,500 miles (1 2 500 km).
It may indicate changing the oil before 3.000 miles
(5 000 km) depending on your driving habits. If the
vehicle has been driven
7.500 miles (1 2 500 km). it
will indicate to change the oil.
If you drive in a dusty
area, you should change your oil every
3.000 miles
(5 000 km) or three months (whichever comes first)
unless the display indicates changing it sooner. The
system doesn’t check
hmt* much oil you have, so you’ll
still have to check for that.
To see how, see “Engine Oil’’
in the Index.
When the oil
is changed. you‘ll need to reset the system.
To reset, display the Oil Life Indicator by pressing the
INFO button. Then press and hold the INFO RESET

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Comfort Controls
This section tells you how to make your air system work
for you. Your Electronic Climate Control (ECC) system
uses ozone-friendly
R- 134a refrigerant.
With
the ECC system, you can control the heating,
cooling and ventilation in your vehicle. Your vehicle
also has a flow-through ventilation system described
later in this section.
Climate Control Panel
Driver’s Side Temperature Knob
The TEMP/AUTO knob adjusts the air temperature
coming through the system. Turn the TEMPIAUTO
knob
to the right to increase the temperature and to the
left to decrease the temperature. Press
the TEMP/AUTO
knob
to put the system in the automatic mode.
Passenger’s Side Temperature Button
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 PASSREMP button. Press the up arrow to
increase
the temperature and press the down arrow to
decrease the climate sating. Pressing the OFF button
will turn off the dual-zone function.
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
INFO button (above the radio)
until ENGLISHMETRIC RESET displays. Once
displayed, press the
INFO RESET button to select. 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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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 Button
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 arrow to cycle through the
available 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.
To find your comfort zone, start with the 75°F (24°C)
setting and allow about 30 minutes for the system to
regulate.
Turn the TEMP/AUTO knob 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.
3-3

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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 warms
up,
the blower fan speed will gradually increase and air
will flow from the heater outlets, with some aifflow
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.
Manual Operation
You may manually adjust the air delivery mode or
fan speed.
/J AC: This setting directs airflow through the
A0
middle instrument panel outlets.
l# BI-LEVEL: This setting directs air into your
vehicle in two ways.
Cool air is directed to the upper
portion
of your body through the four instrument panel
outlets while warmed air is directed to the floor.
'fl HEATER/DEFROST: This setting directs air to
the floor outlets and toward the windshield.
I# HEATER: This'setting directs warmed air
through the
floor outlets. Some warm air is diverted to
the windshield to minimize fogging.

of the airflow to the windshield with only a small
amount
to the floor outlets.
