Comfort Controls
This section tells you how to make your air system work
for you.
Climate Control Panel
Your vehicle is equipped with a dual-zone electronic
climate control system. This system can automatically
adjust and control temperature, fan speed, air delivery
mode, air conditioning operation and air intake. You can
use the AUTO (automatic) setting or override the
automatic operation by manually altering the settings.If your vehicle is equipped with the climate control
personalization feature, you will be able to program
your preferred climate control settings and recall them
using your remote keyless entry transmitter. See
ªClimate Control Personalizationº in the Index.
TEMP (Temperature): These knobs adjust the air
temperature coming through the system. Turn a TEMP
knob clockwise to increase the temperature and
counterclockwise to decrease the temperature.
Both TEMP knobs adjust from 60 F (16 C) to
90 F (32 C) independent of each other. It is
recommended that the passenger's setting stay no more
than four degrees warmer or cooler in temperature from
the driver's setting.
3-5
If your vehicle is sitting in direct sunlight on a hot day
and you have the climate control system in AUTO, the
air will first flow out the floor ducts for a few seconds.
This is normal. This removes hot air from the air outlets.
As the air is cooled, the airflow will enter the vehicle
through the instrument panel outlets.
To avoid blowing cold air in cold weather, the system
will start at a reduced fan speed until warm air is
available. The length time required for this to happen
depends on the outside air temperature, engine coolant
temperature or the time since the engine was last started.
As the coolant warms up, the fan speed will gradually
increase and air will flow from the floor ducts, with
some airflow to the windshield to prevent fogging under
most normal conditions. If you select defrost mode or a
fan speed manually, this function will be canceled.
If you leave your vehicle, the system will remember
the control setting the next time you start your engine,
except for recirculation and defrost. Each ignition cycle
cancels recirculation. Defrost will change to automatic
operation when the ignition is shut off and then turned
back on.Electronic Solar Sensor
The sensor monitors the sun's solar radiation and is located
near the end of the instrument panel near the windshield.
The climate control panel uses this information to
automatically make the necessary temperature and
airflow adjustments to maintain your comfort. The
climate control system may supply cooler air to one side
of your vehicle, if that side is facing the sun.
Be sure not to put anything over the electronic solar
sensor. If you do, the climate control system may not
function properly.

Audio Systems
Your audio system has been designed to operate easily
and give years of listening pleasure. You will get the
most enjoyment out of it if you acquaint yourself with it
first. Find out what your audio system can do and how
to operate all of its controls to be sure you're getting the
most out of the advanced engineering that went into it.
Your vehicle has a feature called Retained Accessory

SPACIOUS: This setting is used to make the listening
space seem larger.Using RDS
Your audio system is equipped with Radio Data Systems
(RDS). RDS mode gives you many useful new features.
With RDS the radio can:
seek to stations with traffic announcements,
receive announcements concerning local and
national emergencies,
receive and display messages from radio stations and
search for a stronger station when a station is too
weak for listening.
RDS features are only available for use on FM stations
which broadcast RDS information.
RDS (Radio Data Systems): If you are tuned to a
station broadcasting RDS information, the station's
call letters and Program Type (PTY) will replace the
station's frequency on the display. After five seconds,
the program type will be replaced on the display by the
station's program type name. The program type and
program type name may be the same or different.
Press BAND to recall the frequency and program type
displays. If the radio is tuned to a station that is not
broadcasting RDS information, the station's frequency
will remain on the display. With RDS the radio will
search for a stronger station in the network when a
station gets too weak for listening.
3-22
When a traffic announcement comes on the current radio
station or a related network station, you will hear it,
even if the volume is muted or a cassette tape or
compact disc is playing. If the radio tunes to a related
network station for a traffic announcement, it will return
to the original station when the announcement is
finished. If the cassette tape or compact disc player was
being used, the tape or compact disc will stay in the
player and resume play at the point where it stopped.
Press the TA button again to turn TA off.
MSG (Message): If the current station has a message,
MSG will appear on the display. Press the MSG button,
