Comfort Controls
This section tells you how to operate your climate
control system.
Your vehicle may be equipped with a passenger
compartment air filter. For more information, see
ªPassenger Compartment Air Filterº in the Index.
Comfort Controls Personalization
(If Equipped)
This feature allows two different drivers to store and
recall their own climate control settings for temperature,
air delivery mode and fan speed. The personal choice
settings recalled are determined by the transmitter used
to enter the vehicle. After the button with the unlock
symbol on a remote keyless entry transmitter is pressed,
and the ignition is in RUN, the climate control will
adjust to the last settings of the identified driver. The
settings can also be changed by pressing one of the
memory buttons (1 or 2) located on the driver's door,
until you hear two beeps. When adjustments are made,
the new settings are automatically saved for that driver.
Automatic Electronic Climate Control
Your vehicle is equipped with either a Single Zone or
a Dual Zone Automatic Electronic Climate Control
System. You can use the automatic setting or override
the automatic setting by using the manual controls.
Your vehicle also has the flow
-through ventilation
system described later in this section.
AUTO
-PUSH Knob
By pressing the AUTO
-PUSH knob, you have
selected the electronic climate control system to be in
the automatic mode. The climate control system will
automatically control the air temperature, air inlets, air
distribution and the fan speed based on your selected
temperature setting as well as on the temperature inside
the vehicle, the outside temperature and the sun load.

Passenger Compartment Air Filter
The passenger compartment air filter removes certain
particles from the air, including pollen and dust particles.
Reductions in airflow, which may occur more often in
dusty areas, indicate that the filter may need to be
replaced early.
The filter should be replaced as part of the routine
scheduled maintenance. See ªMaintenance Scheduleº
in the Index for more information.
The passenger compartment
air filter is located on the
passenger side at the base
of the windshield and can
be accessed through a
removable panel under the
hood of the vehicle.
See ªEngine Compartment
Overviewº in the Index
for more information
on location.To check or replace the air filter:
1. With the hood open, unlatch and remove the
access panel.
2. To remove the filter, press on the spring tab on
the side of the filter housing and pull the filter out of
the housing.
3. To install the new filter, press on the spring tab and
insert the filter into the housing. The filter should be
fully inserted into the upper and lower grooves and
locked into place by the spring tab.
4. Reinstall the air filter access panel at the base of
the windshield.
