Be sure to continue scanning your displays, controls and
driving environment just as you would in a vehicle
without HUD. If you never look at your instrument
panel cluster, you may not see something important,
such as a warning light.
NOTICE:
Although the HUD image appears to be near the
front of the vehicle, do not use it as a parking aid.
The HUD was not designed for that purpose. If
you try to use the display as a marker for the
front of your vehicle, such as in a parking lot, you
may misjudge distance and hit an obstacle or
another vehicle.
The HUD controls are located on the instrument panel to
the left of the steering wheel.
1. Start your engine and slide the HUD dimmer lever
all the way up.
The brightness of the HUD image is determined by
an internal photo
-cell, and where you have the HUD
dimmer control set.
2. Adjust the seat to your driving position. Press the
image height adjuster switch to raise the image as far
as possible.

Comfort Controls
This section describes how to operate your climate
control system. With this system, you can control the
heating, cooling and ventilation in your vehicle.
Your vehicle also has a flow
-through ventilation system
described later in this section.
Electronic Touch Climate Control
Fan Lever
The FAN lever is used to select the speed of the fan.
Moving the lever between LOW and HIGH will
decrease or increase the fan speed. The fan will be
off when the system is off.Temperature Lever
This lever is used to adjust the temperature of the air
coming through the system. Move the TEMPERATURE
lever between COOL and WARM to change the
temperature of the air coming through your outlets.
Mode Controls
The buttons on your system allow you to choose settings
to deliver air through the floor ducts, instrument panel
outlets or windshield outlets.
RECIRC (Recirculation): Press this button to limit the
amount of 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. To turn off RECIRC, press the
button again. If you select FRONT defrost or BLEND
while RECIRC is selected, the system will automatically
turn off RECIRC to prevent fogging. If you select
RECIRC while in FRONT defrost, the RECIRC light
will flash three times to let you know this is not allowed.

3-3
VENT: This setting directs outside air through the
instrument panel outlets. The air conditioning
compressor is not working when VENT is selected. If
you select VENT while in FRONT defrost, the VENT
light will flash three times to let you know this is not
allowed. This is to prevent fogging.
HTR (Heater): This setting directs most of the air
out of the floor ducts while some air will flow through
the windshield and side window outlets. The air
conditioning compressor is not working when
HTR is selected.
BLEND: When BLEND is selected, the airflow will be
split between the windshield outlets and the floor ducts.
The air conditioning compressor will be operating.
FRONT: This setting directs most of the airflow
toward the windshield.
OFF: The ventilation system always allows fresh air to
flow through your vehicle when it is moving. The
system will try to keep the air at a previously chosen
temperature. When the system is off, the blower fan is
also off.MAX (Maximum Air Conditioning): This setting
directs airflow through the instrument panel outlets. The
amount of outside air entering your vehicle is limited
with this setting. The air conditioning compressor is on
in this mode.
Also in this mode, the RECIRC function is activated
to create the maximum cooling effect in the vehicle. If
RECIRC was active before selecting MAX, the light in
the RECIRC button will go off. If RECIRC is selected
after MAX, the light in the RECIRC button will not
come on.
NORM (Normal): This setting cools the outside
air entering your vehicle and directs it through the
instrument panel outlets. The air conditioning
compressor is on in this mode.
BI
-LEV (Bi-Level): This setting directs warmer air
to the floor ducts and cooler air to the instrument panel
outlets. The air conditioning compressor is on in
this mode.

3-5
OFF: If the passenger comfort control is turned on, it
can be turned off by pressing the OFF button once.
Pressing the OFF button a second time will turn off the
main system. Turning off the main system causes the fan
to turn off and the airflow to be directed toward the
floor. The system will still try to keep the interior of the
vehicle at the previously chosen temperature setting.
The outside temperature will show on the display when
the system is off.
The ventilation system always allows fresh air to flow
through your vehicle when the vehicle is moving even
when the system is off.
VENT (Flow
-Through Ventilation): The VENT
button allows outside air to flow through your vehicle
without the air conditioning compressor working. To
turn off the VENT selection, push the VENT button
again. If you select VENT while in FRONT defrost, the
VENT light will flash three times to let you know this is
not allowed. This is to prevent fogging.RECIRC (Recirculation): When RECIRC is selected,
the system will limit the amount of 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. RECIRC and AUTO
may be selected at the same time. The system will remain
in RECIRC until the ignition is turned off or the RECIRC
button is pressed again. RECIRC can be selected in all
manual airflow modes except FRONT defrost and VENT.
If you select RECIRC while in FRONT defrost, the
RECIRC light will flash three times to let you know this is
not allowed. This is to prevent fogging. FRONT: This selection is used to defrost
the windshield by directing the airflow toward the
windshield. To turn off FRONT, press the AUTO
or AIR FLOW button.
If the AIR FLOW up button is selected while in the
FRONT defrost mode, the system will direct the air
toward the windshield and the floor. If the AIR FLOW
down button is selected while in the FRONT defrost
mode, the system will direct the air toward the floor, and
the FRONT defrost mode will cancel.
FRONT defrost will work better if any ice or snow is
cleared from the hood and the air inlet area between the
base of the windshield and the hood.

3-6 Passenger Climate Control (If Equipped)
If your vehicle is equipped with the Dual Automatic
ComforTemp system, the front seat passenger can
control the air temperature in his or her seating area. The
control is located on the passenger's door armrest.The temperature can be set up to 5
F (3
C) cooler
or warmer than the primary setting. To activate the
passenger control, press the button with the red arrow
to increase temperature. Each time you press the button, a
red indicator light will come on. To decrease temperature,
press the button with the blue arrow. Each time you press
the button a blue indicator light will come on.
If the passenger control has been turned on, it can be
turned off by pressing the OFF button on the main
system once. (Pressing the OFF button a second time
will turn off the main system.)
Automatic Operation
Press the AUTO button when you want the system to
automatically maintain a selected temperature inside of
your vehicle. When the system is set for automatic
operation, air will come from the floor ducts, instrument
panel outlets or windshield outlets depending on the
temperature inside the vehicle, the outside temperature
and sun load. Fan speed and use of air conditioning and
recirculation will vary as needed.

3-7
Sun and temperature sensors automatically adjust the air
temperature, the airflow direction and the fan speed to
maintain your temperature setting. The system may
supply cooler air to the side of the vehicle toward the
sun. Be careful not to put anything over the sensor on
top of the dash.
The display will show fan speed, temperature level
setting and airflow direction for a few seconds whenever
AUTO is selected, and then it will display the outside
temperature. The outside temperature reading is most
accurate when the vehicle is moving. During stops, the
display shows the previous temperature for best
accuracy and system control.
To find your preferred temperature setting, start with the
system in AUTO mode and the TEMP button adjusted
to 75
F (24
C), give the vehicle about 20 minutes to
stabilize, and adjust your temperature setting if
necessary, by using the TEMP button. The display will
show the temperature setting for a few seconds and then
it will display the outside temperature. If you want to
see your current automatic fan speed, airflow direction
and temperature setting, press the AUTO button.In cold weather, the system will delay turning on the fan,
to avoid blowing cold air. During this delay the system
will be in FRONT defrost mode and the light in the button
will come on and stay on as long as the display is showing
the current mode, set TEMP and FAN speed. This light
will go off when the display returns to the outside
temperature. The length of the delay depends on the
engine coolant temperature and the outside temperature.
Pushing the FAN, AIR FLOW or FRONT buttons will
override this delay, turn off the AUTO setting and return
the system to manual operation.
Personal Choice Comfort Controls
(If Equipped)
This feature enables up to two drivers to store and recall
comfort control settings for the temperature, fan speed
and the direction of the airflow.
The memory buttons (1 or 2) for this feature are located
on the driver's door panel and correspond to the
numbers (1 or 2) found on the back of each keyless
entry transmitter.
To recall comfort settings, press the unlock button on the
remote keyless entry transmitter and put the ignition in
ACCESSORY or RUN. The climate control setting last
chosen by the identified driver (1 or 2) will be recalled.
