NOTICE:
Damage to your engine from neglected oil problems
can be costly and is not covered by your warranty.
Oil pressure may vary with engine speed, outside
temperature and oil viscosity, but readings above the
low pressure zone indicate the normal operating range.
A reading in the low pressure zone may be caused by a
dangerously low oil level or other problems causing low
oil pressure.
Security Light
This light will come on
briefly when you turn
the key toward START.
The light will stay on
until the engine starts.
If the light flashes, the Passlock

system has entered a
tamper mode. If the vehicle fails to start, see ªPasslockº
in the Index.If the light comes on continuously while driving and
stays on, there may be a problem with the Passlock
system. Your vehicle will not be protected by Passlock,
and you should see your dealer.
Also, see ªContent Theft
-Deterrentº in the Index for
additional information regarding the SECURITY light.
Service Four-Wheel-Drive Warning Light
(If Equipped)
This light should come on
briefly when you turn on
the ignition, as a check to
show you it is working.
The SERVICE 4WD light comes on to indicate that
there may be a problem with the drive system and
service is required. Malfunctions can be indicated by the
system before any problem is apparent, which may
prevent serious damage to the vehicle. This system is
also designed to assist your service technician in
correctly diagnosing a malfunction.

Comfort Controls
With this system, you can control the heating, cooling
and ventilation in your vehicle.
Standard Climate Control System
Fan Knob
The knob on the left side of the heating system control panel
controls the fan speed. To increase airflow, move the knob
clockwise. To decrease airflow, move it counterclockwise.Temperature Knob
The middle knob on the control panel lets you select the
relative temperature of the air flowing into the passenger
area of your vehicle. Move the knob clockwise
toward the red area for warmer air. Move the knob
counterclockwise toward the blue area for cooler air.
Mode Knob
The right knob on the control panel allows you to
choose the direction of air delivery.
OFF: This setting turns the system off. Some outside
air will still enter the vehicle whenever the vehicle is
moving forward. If outside air entering the vehicle is
warmer than desired, turn the temperature knob fully
counterclockwise and turn the mode knob to VENT.
MAX A/C: This setting provides maximum cooling
with the least amount of work. MAX A/C recirculates
much of the air inside your vehicle so it cools quickly.
This setting directs most of the air through the
instrument panel vents and a small amount through
the floor vents.
ProCarManuals.com

3-3
A/C: This setting cools the air entering your vehicle
and directs most of the air through the instrument panel
vents and a small amount through the floor vents.
BI-LEVEL A/C: This setting cools the air
entering your vehicle and directs it through the heater
floor outlets as well as the instrument panel outlets.
VENT: This setting directs most of the air through
the instrument panel outlets and a small amount through
the floor outlets. The air conditioning compressor is not
working when VENT is selected.
HEATER: This setting directs most of the
warmed air through the heater floor outlets and some
air through the windshield defroster outlets.
BLEND: This setting divides the airflow equally
between the heater floor outlets and the windshield
defroster outlets.
DEFROST: This setting directs most air through
the windshield defroster outlets and some through the
heater (floor) outlets.
Electronic Climate Control System
(If Equipped)
Fan Knob
The knob on the left side of the electronic climate
control panel controls the fan speed. To manually
increase airflow, move the knob clockwise. To manually
decrease airflow, move it counterclockwise.
OFF: If the knob is in OFF, outside air will still enter
the vehicle, and will be directed based on the position of
the mode knob.
AUTO: If the knob is in AUTO, the fan speed will
vary as the system maintains the selected temperature.

Temperature Knob
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 clockwise toward 82 for warmer air. Move the
knob counterclockwise toward 66 for cooler air.
Full Hot: If you turn the temperature knob past
82
F (28
C), the system will go into the ªfull hotº
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 (19
C), the system will go into the ªfull coldº
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.Mode Knob - Automatic Operation
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.
ProCarManuals.com

3-7 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 on and the outside air button is not active.
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.
Heating
The heater works best if you keep your windows closed
while using it. On cold days, use HEATER with the
temperature knob turned clockwise. 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 ªEngine Coolant Heaterº in the Index.
Defogging and Defrosting
On cool, humid days, use BLEND to keep the
windshield and side windows clear.
Use DEFROST to remove fog or ice from the
windshield quickly in extreme humid or cold conditions.
Turn the temperature knob to the right and move the
fan knob toward high.
