In cold weather, the system will delay turning on the fan
to avoid blowing cold air. The length of the delay
depends on the engine coolant temperature and the
outside temperature. Turning the AUTO FAN knob will
override this delay by turning off the automatic fan
mode and changing the fan speed.
Your automatic electronic climate control system has
two sun sensors located on the top of the instrument
panel that detect direct sunlight. To keep you and your
passengers comfortable, the system may supply cooler
air to the side toward the sun. Be careful not to put
anything over these sun sensors. The automatic
electronic climate control system may not operate
correctly if these sensors are covered.To change the automatic electronic climate control
display from an English display to a metric display, push
the OFF button located in the Driver Information Center
(DIC) for two seconds. The display in the DIC will also
change from an English to a metric display. To return to
an English display, repeat the above procedure.
Manual Operation
You may override the automatic airflow distribution by
turning the AUTO
-PUSH knob. After you turn this
knob, the comfort setting will be displayed for five
seconds, then the outside temperature will be displayed.
The fan control will remain in the automatic control
mode unless you turn the AUTO FAN knob to select a
manual fan speed.

outlets. There is also a small amount of air directed to
the front defroster and the side window defrosters.

DEFOG: This setting directs the majority of the
airflow to the lower floor outlets and the front defroster.
A small amount of airflow is directed to the side
window defroster outlets. This mode can be useful to
remove the moisture from the inside of the windshield
when the outside temperature is cold or the humidity
is high.
DEF (Defrost): This setting directs the majority
of the airflow to the windshield with some airflow to
the side window defrosters and lower floor outlets.
To increase the fan speed, turn the AUTO FAN
knob clockwise.

outside air entering your vehicle. This is helpful when
you are trying to cool the interior of the vehicle quickly
or limit the amount of outside air entering your vehicle
for some other reason. The RECIRC ON button and the
AUTO
-PUSH knob may be selected at the same time.
The system will remain in RECIRC ON until the
ignition is turned off, then the system will return back to
the previously selected mode. RECIRC ON may be
selected in all manual airflow modes except
front defrost.Operating the RECIRC ON mode in cold temperatures
or under high humidity conditions may cause moisture
to form on the inside of the windshield. If this condition
occurs, deselect the RECIRC ON button.
A/C ON: Press this button to turn the air conditioning
on and off. If the system is operating in the automatic
mode, the A/C ON indicator light will automatically
illuminate. In the auto mode, the A/C compressor will
only operate when the system determines it is needed.

-PUSH knob to OFF. Turning the
system off will cause the fan to turn off and the airflow
to be directed out the lower floor outlets. The system
will still try to keep the interior of the vehicle at the
previously chosen comfort setting. The outside
temperature will show in the display when the system is
set to OFF.
