indicate to the driver that the Selective Real Time
Damping (SRTD) system has detected a malfunction
and that the system must be serviced. The SERVICE
RIDE CONTROL message will always come on when a
failure is detected by the Selective Real Time Damping
system. If
a fault is present in the SRTD which causes
the shocks to be in their full soft condition, the

will hear two chimes when this message is displayed. To
acknowledge the warning, press RESET. After you press
RESET, a message will reappear and you will hear a
chime every
10 minutes until this condition changes.
This message indicates that the pressure in one of your
tires is less than
25 psi (172 Ea). Next to the LOW
TIRE PRESSURE message, you can see either
LF (left

tire pressures checked and set to those shown on your
Tire Loading Information Label. See “Extended
Mobility Tires” in the Index.
When the LOW TIRE PRESSURE or FLAT
TIRE message is displayed on the Driver
Information Center, your vehicle’s handling
capabilities will be reduced during severe
maneuvers.
If you drive too fast, you could lose
control of your vehicle.
You or others could be
injured. Don’t drive over

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Automatic Electronic Dual Climate Control System
(If Equipped)
Your vehicle may be equipped with a Dual Zone
Electronic Climate Control System. This system can
automatically adjust and control temperature output, fan
speed, air delivery mode, air conditioning operation and
air intake. You can use the AUTO (automatic) setting or
override the automatic operation with manual control
settings. The control settings will be remembered each
time you turn the ignition
off and restart in the same
settings. You can use the Memory option to store and
recall your settings. (See “Memory” in the Index.)
Digital Display
The digital display shows readings in Fahrenheit or Celsius
by pressing the EM button (EnglisWMetric) on the Driver
Information Center @IC). When you
start the vehicle, the
display will show the current fan speed, air delivery mode
and the driver-set temperature for approximately five
seconds and then show the outside temperature.
When the system is fully in the automatic mode, the
word AUTO will also appear on the display. If you have
selected a manual fan speed, then the fan symbol will
appear on the display.
If a manual air delivery mode has
been selected, the delivery mode symbol will appear on
the display.
Driver Set Temperature Knob
The DRIVER knob changes the temperature on the
driver’s and passenger’s side of the vehicle. Turn the
knob to the right to increase the temperature and to the
left to decrease the temperature. Whenever you turn this
knob, the temperature will be displayed for
approximately five seconds along with the current fan
speed and air delivery mode.
3-4

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When adjusting the temperature, start with a driver-set
temperature of
73°F (23 "C) until you determine your
comfort zone. If you choose
60°F (16"C), the system
will remain at maximum cooling and will not
automatically adjust fan speed or air delivery. If you
choose
90°F (32"C), the system will remain at
maximum heating and will not automatically adjust fan
speed or air delivery. Choosing either maximum setting
will not cause the system to heat or cool any faster.
Turning the knob past either maximum setting has no
effect on the operation of the system.
Passenger Temperature Offset
The PASSENGER knob changes the temperature on the
passenger's side of the vehicle. When the knob is in the
12 o'clock position, the passenger's temperature is the
same as the driver's. Turn the knob to the right for
warmer air
on the passenger's side, to the left for cooler
air. If the driver-set temperature is set at
60°F (1 6 " C) or
90 OF (32 " C), turning the passenger knob has no effect
because the system is locked at a maximum setting.
Automatic Operation
Press the AUTO button to place the entire system in the
automatic mode. After a five second display of the current settings, only the word
AUTO and the outside
temperature will be shown on the digital display. The
system will operate to achieve your comfort set
temperature as quickly as possible. If you have set the
driver temperature at
60°F (16°C) or 90°F (32"C), the
system will not operate automatically until a different
temperature is selected. The AUTO control system
works best with the windows up and the removable roof
installed or the convertible top up.
A Typical Cold Weather Example:
Your vehicle has been parked outside overnight in cold
weather (below
32 OF/ 0 " C) and you have set the driver
temperature at
73°F (23°C) and have selected the AUTO
mode. The system will automatically adjust the
temperature output to maximum heating. The fan will start
at a low speed. This is to avoid blowing cold
air into the
vehicle. The length of the delay depends on the amount of
time since the engine was last started, the outside
temperature and the engine coolant temperature. As the
coolant warms up, the fan speed will gradually increase.
Air will flow to the floor with some air to the windshield
to prevent fogging under most normal conditions.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Air Conditioning Heating
On
very hot days, your vehicle will cool down more
quickly and economically if you open the windows long
enough to let hot inside
air escape. Then keep your
windows closed in order to allow the air conditioning to
work best. Maximum cooling will occur when the
RECIRCULATE setting is operating, airflow direction is
in the upper mode, and the temperature control knob (on
a manual climate control system) is turned all the way to
the blue area. These settings will be selected by the
Automatic Electronic Dual Climate Control System if
operating in AUTO when maximum cooling is required.
When the air conditioning is on, you may sometimes
notice slight changes in your vehicle’s engine
performance and power. This is normal. The system is
designed to .help fuel economy while maintaining the
desired cooling level.
The
air conditioning removes moisture from the air, so you
may notice water dripping fi-om under your vehicle when
it is idling or after it has been turned
off. This is normal. The
heater works best
if you keep your windows closed.
Maximum heating will occur when airflow direction is
in the lower mode and the temperature control knob (on
a manual climate control system) is all the way
in the
red area. These settings will be selected by the
Automatic Electronic Dual Climate Control System if
operating in AUTO when maximum heating is required.
The BI-LEVEL setting is designed for use on sunny days
when the
air is only moderately warm or cool. On days
like these, the sun may adequately warm your upper body,
but your lower body may not
be warm enough. The
BI-LEVEL setting will direct cooler airflow to
your upper
body and warmer
air to the floor area.
If you have the optional engine coolant heater and use it
during cold weather
0°F (- 18 “C) or lower, your heating
system will provide heat more quickly because the
coolant is already warmed. See “Engine Coolant Heater”
in the Index.
