3-10 Rear Comfort Controls
Your vehicle has one of the following rear comfort
control systems. With either system, the rear comfort
controls will be disabled when the front comfort control
system is in defrost. This occurs to provide maximum
airflow to clear the windshield.
The temperature of the air coming through the rear
outlets is determined by the front passenger's
temperature setting. Press the PWR button to turn the
rear comfort controls on and off. Use the mode knob to
change the direction of airflow (upper, bi
-level or floor)
to the rear seat area.
If your vehicle has the rear seat audio system the lower
buttons are used to adjust the rear seat comfort controls.
The temperature of the air coming through the rear
outlets is determined by the front passenger's
temperature setting. The button with the up and down
arrows on it regulates the fan speed. The mode button
can be used to change the direction of airflow (upper,
bi
-level or floor) to the rear seat area. To turn the rear
comfort controls off, press the lower PWR button.

3-11 Ventilation System
For mild outside temperatures when little heating
or cooling is needed, use the panel outlet setting
(on the standard system) to direct outside air through
your vehicle. Air will flow through the instrument
panel outlets.
Your vehicle's flow
-through ventilation system supplies
outside air into the vehicle when it's moving. When the
vehicle is not moving, you can get outside air to flow
through by selecting any air delivery mode and any
fan speed.
Your vehicle has air outlets that allow you to adjust
the direction and amount of airflow inside the vehicle.
Move the outlet up or down and move the control in
the center of each outlet side
-to-side to direct the air
from the outlet. Use the thumbwheel under the outlet
to turn the outlet off. For the most efficient airflow
and temperature control, keep the outlet in the fully
opened position.
The rear seat outlets can be used to adjust the airflow
toward either seating area, the floor or upward. Move
the control in the center of each outlet in any direction
to direct airflow.

Ventilation Tips

Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow or
any other obstruction such as leaves. The heater and
defroster will work better, reducing the chance of
fogging your windows.

In cool damp weather, minimize your use of
recirculation to reduce the chance of fogging
your windows.

When you enter a vehicle with the standard system
in cold weather, select floor mode to supply air
through the floor outlets. Then turn the fan on high
for a few moments before driving away. This will
blow moist air from the intake outlets toward the
floor, not the windshield. It reduces the chance of
fogging your windows. If you have the electronic
system, the AUTO setting will do this for you.
Manual operation of the electronic system in the
floor mode will also supply air through the
floor outlets.

Keep the air path under the front seats clear of
objects. This helps air to circulate throughout
your vehicle.Comfort Control Steering Wheel Controls
(If Equipped)
If your vehicle has this
feature, you can control
certain comfort control
functions using the buttons
on your steering wheel.
(Fan): Press the up arrow to increase the fan speed
and the down arrow to decrease the fan speed.
(Temperature): Press the up arrow to increase the
temperature of the air flowing through the system and
the down arrow to decrease the temperature of the air
flowing through the system.

Using RDS
Your audio system is equipped with a Radio Data
System (RDS). RDS is a system that sends data along
with the audio of the FM station you are currently tuned
to. You can use RDS to display program information
and to control your radio. With RDS your radio can do
the following:

Seek only to stations with the types of programs you
want to listen to,

seek to stations with traffic announcements,

receive announcements concerning local and
national emergencies, and

receive and display messages from radio stations.RDS features are only available on FM stations which
broadcast RDS information. The RDS features of your
radio rely on receiving specific RDS information from
these stations. These features will only work when the
RDS information is available. In rare cases, a radio
station may broadcast incorrect information that will
cause the radio features to work improperly. If this
happens, please contact the radio station.
When you are tuned to an RDS station, the station name
will appear on the display, instead of the frequency.
Most RDS stations provide their station name, the time
of day and a Program Type (PTY) for their current
programming. Some stations also provide the name of
the current program.
TUNE DISP: Press this control to change what appears
on the display while using RDS. Pressing this control
will also display an RDS station frequency or program
type when the radio is on. The display options are
station name, station frequency, PTY and the name of
the program (if available). Pressing and holding this
control will activate the RDS default display.
