2-72 Air Bag Readiness Light
There is an air bag readiness light on the instrument
panel, which shows AIR BAG. The system checks the
air bag's electrical system for malfunctions. The light
tells you if there is an electrical problem. The system
check includes the air bag sensors, the air bag modules,
the wiring and the crash sensing and diagnostic module.
For more information on the air bag system,
see ªAir Bagº in the Index.
This light will come on
when you start your vehicle,
and it will flash for a few
seconds. Then the light
should go out. This means
the system is ready.
If the air bag readiness light stays on after you start
the vehicle or comes on when you are driving, your
air bag system may not work properly. Have your
vehicle serviced right away.
CAUTION:
If the air bag readiness light stays on after you
start your vehicle, it means the air bag system
may not be working properly. The air bags in
your vehicle may not inflate in a crash, or they
could even inflate without a crash. To help avoid
injury to yourself or others, have your vehicle
serviced right away if the air bag readiness light
stays on after you start your vehicle.
The air bag readiness light should flash for a few seconds
when you turn the ignition key to RUN. If the light
doesn't come on then, have it fixed so it will be ready
to warn you if there is a problem.

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 75F (24C), 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.
