These  features  allow  both  drivers to personalize  their 
own  climate  control  settings 
as well  as  their  radio 
settings.  For  more  information,  see “Climate  Control 
Personalization”  and  “Radio  Personalization”  in 
the  Index. 
The  outside  temperature  is  always  available  for display 
when  your  vehicle  is  running  unless  an  overriding 
Driver  Information  Center  message  appears.  You can 
change  the  temperature  from Fahrenheit  to  Celsius  by 
pressing  the  ENGMET (EnglisWmetric)  button  on  the 
instrument  panel.  For  more  information  on  the  Driver 
Information  Center,  see “Driver  Information  Center 
Messages”  in  the  Index. 
The  electronic  sensor  can  be affected  by  road  or engine 
heat  during  idling,  slow  driving  or when  the  engine 
is 
first  stared  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. 
Control  Buttons 
RESET  TRIP AB: By 
using  this  button,  you  can

press  and  hold  the  button 
until  zeros  appear. 
If your  vehicle  is domestic,  the  trip  odometer  will  return 
to  zero  after  999.9  miles 
(1 609 km). If  your  vehicle  is 
Canadian,  the  trip  odometer  will 
return to  zero  after 
1 999.9  km  (1,242  miles).  The TRIP  RESET  button  only 
resets  the  trip  odometer 
(A or  B) that is  being  displayed. 
Each  trip  odometer  has 
to be  reset  individually.

Climate  Control  Personalization 
(If Equipped) 
With  this  feature,  your  vehicle  will  recall  the  latest 
climate  control  settings  as  adjusted  the  last  time  your 
vehicle  was  operated.  These  settings  include  the  set 
temperatures  for driver  and  passenger,  air  conditioning, 
mode  and  fan  speed.  (This  feature  does  not  recall 
recirculation 
or defrost  modes.)  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  RKE 
transmitter 
(“1” or “2”) was  used  to  enter  the  vehicle. 
The  number  on  the  back 
of the RKE  transmitter 
corresponds  to  driver 
1 or  to  driver 2. After  any  button 
is  pressed  on  the 
RKE transmitter  or the key  is  placed 
in  the  ignition,  the  climate  control  settings  will 
automatically  adjust  to  where  they  were  last  set.  The 
settings  can  also  be  changed  by  briefly  pressing  buttons 
1 or 2 located  on  the  driver’s  door.
