Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Daytime Running Lamps
Daytime Running Lamps (DIU) can make it easier for
others to see the front
of your vehicle during the day.
DRL can be helpful in many different driving
conditions, but they can be especially helpful in the
short periods after dawn and before sunset.
The DRL system will make your headlamps come
on at
reduced brightness when:
0 the ignition is on,
the headlamp switch is in automatic headlamp
mode and
the parking brake is released.
When the DRL are on, only your headlamps will be on.
The taillamps, sidemarker and other lamps won’t be
on.
The instrument panel won’t be lit up either.
When it begins to get dark, the headlamps will
automatically switch from DRL to the regular headlamps.
When
you turn the headlamp switch off, the regular lamps
will
go off, and your headlamps will change to the reduced
brightness of DRL provided it is not dark outside.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off, set the parking
brake.
The DRL will stay off until you release the
parking brake.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when
you need it.
Fog Lamps (If Equipped)
Use your fog lamps for better vision in foggy or misty
conditions. Your parking lamps must be
on for your fog
lamps to work.
The fog lamp switch is on the instrument panel under
the lamps switch. Press the switch
to turn the fog lamps
on. Press the switch again to turn them off.
A light will
glow in the switch when the fog lamps are
on.
Remember, fog lamps alone will not give off as much
light as your headlamps. Never use your fog lamps in
the dark without turning
on your headlamps.
Fog lamps will go off whenever your high-beam
headlamps come on. When the high beams go off, the
fog lamps will come on again.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Temperature Knob Mode Knob - Automatic Operation
The middle knob on the control panel lets you select the
desired air temperature in your vehicle. This knob will
allow
you to adjust the interior air temperature
independently
of the function knob setting. Move the
knob to the right toward
82 for warmer air. Move the
knob to the left toward 66 for cooler air.
Full Hot: If you turn the temperature knob past 82°F
(28”C), the system will go into the
“full hot” mode. The
system will remain at that maximum heating setting and
the fan will blow at the speed the fan knob is set to. If
the fan is in AUTO, it will run at
full speed.
Full Cold: If you turn the temperature knob past 66°F
(1 9”C), the system will go into the “full cold” mode.
The system will remain at that maximum cooling setting
and the fan will blow at the speed the fan knob is set to. \
If the fan is in AUTO, it will run at
full speed.
Choosing either maximum setting will
not cause the
system to heat or cool any faster. The right knob
on the control panel allows you to
choose the direction of air delivery. When the system is
set for automatic operation, sensors will control the air
delivery mode. Air will come primarily from the floor or
instrument panel outlets, with some air directed to the
windshield
to prevent fogging.
When the system is
in AUTO mode, the air conditioning
light
will turn on, and the recirculation and outside air
lights turn off. With the system in full auto control (both
the fan and mode knobs in AUTO), you still have the ability to override any function. However, continually
overriding the outside air or the A/C compressor will
limit the ability of the system
to cool the
vehicle quickly.
If
you push a button for a function which is not
available,
the light next to that button will flash three
times
to alert you that it’s not available.
To find your comfort zone, start with the
74°F (23°C)
setting and allow about 20 minutes for the system to
adjust the temperature
if necessary.

+H BLEND: Airflow is divided equally between the
heater floor outlet and the windshield defroster outlets.
The air conditioning compressor may run to dehumidify
the air to prevent window fogging.
DEFROST This setting directs most air through
the windshield defroster outlets and some through
the
heater outlets. The air conditioning compressor may run
to dehumidify the air to prevent window fogging.
a OUTSIDE AIR: Press this button to force the
system to use outside air. Press it again to close off the
outside air.
Pressing the OUTSIDE AIR button
will cancel the
RECIRCULATION button.
RECIRCULATION: Press this button to limit
the amount of fresh air entering your vehicle. This is
helpful when you are trying to limit odors entering your
vehicle. In the AUTO mode, the system
will use
recirculation as necessary
to cool the air. Pressing the
recirculation button
will change the operation to a
manual mode and the air will recirculate non-stop. Press
this button again to turn off the recirculation feature. RECIRCULATION may be selected
with the fan control
in OFF to limit odors, outside
air and dust from entering
your vehicle.
Pressing the RECIRCULATION button
will cancel the
OUTSIDE AIR button.
A/C: Press this button to turn the air conditioning
on and
off. The system will cool and dehumidify the air
inside the vehicle when the A/C light
is on.
Air conditioning
will be automatically disabled when
the outside temperature drops below a level which air
conditioning is ineffective.
Remember that
in order for the automatic system to perform
well,
it needs A/C to provide cooling performance.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Air Conditioning
On hot days, open the windows long enough to let hot
inside air escape. This reduces the time it takes for your
vehicle
to cool down. Then keep your windows closed
for the air conditioner to work its best.
For quick cool-down on very hot days, use MAX A/C
with the temperature knob turned to the left. This setting
should be used to keep odors and/or dust from entering
the vehicle. For normal cooling
on hot days, use A/C
with the temperature knob turned to the left.
On vehicles equipped with the Electronic Climate
Control system, this same performance can be achieved
as long as the A/C is enabled and the outside air button
is not active.
Heating
On cool but sunny days, use BI-LEVEL A/C to deliver
warm air to the
floor and cooler air to the instrument
panel outlets.
When the air conditioner is on, you may sometimes
notice slight changes in your vehicle’s engine speed and
power. This is normal because the system is designed
to cycle the compressor on and off to keep the
desired temperature.
The heater works best if you keep your windows closed
while using it. On cold days,
use HEATER with the
temperature knob turned
to the right. BLEND is useful
in cool weather when
you have fog or ice on the
windshield or side windows.
If you use the optional engine coolant heater before starting your engine, your heating system will produce
warmer air faster to heat the passenger compartment in
cold weather. See “Engine Coolant Heater” in the Index.
Ventilation System
For mild outside temperatures when little heating or
cooling is needed, use
VENT to direct outside air
through your vehicle. Airflow is through the instrument
panel outlets.
Your vehicle’s ventilation system supplies outside air to
the inside
of your vehicle when it is moving. When the
vehicle is
not moving, you can get outside air to flow
through by selecting any mode and any fan speed.

- If your vehicle has this
option, the rear window
will have lines that warm
the glass.
For
I - - t results, clear the window of as much snow or
ice as possible before using the rear window defogger.
To turn on the rear window defogger, find the switch
marked
REAR with the defog symbol on the lower right
corner of your climate control system. Press the button
until the light in the switch comes on, then release it.
It
will only work if the ignition switch is turned to RUN.
If your vehicle is equipped with the optional heated
outside rearview mirrors, the rear window defogger
button will activate the rear window defogger and the
heated outside rearview mirrors. The
rear window defogger will stay
on for five to seven
minutes, then turn
off. If you need additional warming
time, turn it
on again. You can turn the defogger off at
any time
by pressing the button.
Do not attach a temporary vehicle license, tape or decals
across the defogger grid
on the rear window.
NOTICE:
Don’t use a razor blade or something else sharp
on the inside
of the rear window. If you do, you
could cut or damage the warming grid, and the
repairs wouldn’t be covered by your warranty.
