3-5 Dual Automatic ComforTemp Climate
Control (If Equipped)
With this system, you set a temperature. You can then
either let the system automatically control airflow
direction and force to maintain the temperature, or you
can manually adjust it. The system works best if you
keep your windows closed while using it.
The vehicle's interior will warm up or cool down at the
same rate no matter which temperature you choose. For
example, if you set the system at 90
F (32
C) it will not
heat any faster than if you had set it at 70
F (21
C).
It will just continue to heat longer.Automatic Control
For the most efficient operation, you should set the
system temperature and push the driver's temperature
knob for automatic operation. The word AUTO will be
shown in the display. The system will select the best fan
speed and airflow settings to keep you comfortable.
The air conditioning compressor will run if the outside
temperature is above 32
F (0
C). You may notice a
delay of two to three minutes before the fan comes on
when you start your vehicle in cool weather.
Driver's Temperature Control
The driver's temperature knob sets the temperature for
the system when the passenger's temperature setting is
in neutral. If the passenger's temperature setting is not in
neutral, the driver's temperature knob sets the
temperature for the driver only.
Turn the knob clockwise to raise the temperature and
counterclockwise to lower the temperature. The display
will show the temperature briefly, then the outside
temperature will be displayed.
If you push the temperature knob for automatic
operation, the system will control the fan speed and
air temperature.

Passenger's Temperature Control
The passenger's temperature knob adjusts the
temperature on the passenger's side of the vehicle so
it is warmer or cooler than the temperature set by the
driver. The passenger temperature setting is shown
under the words PASS TEMP in the display.
Turn the knob clockwise to raise the temperature and
counterclockwise to lower the temperature. The display
will not show the passenger's temperature
-- only that
of the driver. Indicators under the words PASS TEMP in
the display will show passenger temperature relative
driver's set temperature.
The large single bar in the center of the + and
- symbols
(neutral) indicates the same temperature as the driver.
The bars between the center bar and the + symbol
indicate a warmer temperature setting than the driver.
The bars between the center bar and the
- symbol
indicate a cooler temperature setting than the driver.
Manual Control
You can also manually control the heating, cooling
and ventilation in your vehicle. You can select airflow
direction, fan speed, outside or recirculated air and air
compressor operation by using the following:Mode Button

instrument panel outlets.
(Lower): This setting brings in most of the air
through the floor ducts. The rest comes out of the
defroster and side window vents.
(Defrost): This setting brings in outside air and
directs most of the air through the defrost vent. Some of
the air also goes to the floor ducts and the side window
defogger outlets. The air conditioning compressor will
run automatically in this setting unless the outside
temperature is below 32
F (0
C).
