If the outside temperature is displayed while the DEATC system is in the
OFF mode and the DEATC is turned on, the driver and passenger
temperatures will be displayed for 4 seconds. Following this, the outside
temperature display will return to the window.
The outside temperature reading is most accurate when the vehicle is
moving. Higher readings may be obtained when the vehicle is not
moving. The readings that you get may not agree with temperatures
given on the radio due to differences in vehicle and station locations.
Operating tips
•In humid weather conditions, place the climate control system in
orRbefore driving. This will reduce fogging on your windshield.
Once the windshield has been cleared, operate the climate control
system as desired.
•To reduce humidity buildup inside the vehicle in cold weather
conditions, don’t drive with the climate control system in the OFF
position or
.
•To reduce humidity buildup inside the vehicle in warm weather
conditions, don’t drive with the climate control system in the OFF
position.
•Under normal weather conditions, your vehicle’s climate control
system should be left in any position other than OFF or
when
the vehicle is parked. This allows the vehicle to“breathe”through the
outside air inlet duct.
•Under snowy or dirty weather conditions, your vehicle’s climate
control system should be left in the OFF position when the vehicle is
parked. This allows the climate control system to be free from
contamination of outside pollutants.
•If your vehicle has been parked with the windows closed during warm
weather conditions, the air conditioner will perform more efficiently in
cooling the vehicle if driven for two or three minutes with the
windows open. This will force most of the hot, stale air out of the
vehicle. Once the vehicle has been“aired out”, operate the climate
control system as desired.
•Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of
the windshield.
•Do not place objects over the defroster outlets. These objects can
block airflow and reduce your ability to see through your windshield.
Avoid placing small objects on top of the instrument panel. These

objects may fall down into the defroster outlets and block airflow, in
addition to damaging the climate control system.
To aide in side window defogging/demisting in cold weather conditions:
1. Select
2. Set the temperature control to full heat
3. Select A/C
4. Set the fan speed to High
5. Direct the outer panel vents towards the side windows
In order to increase the airflow to the outer panel vents, close the
central panel vents.
Do not place objects on top of the instrument panel, as these
objects may become projectiles in a collision or sudden stop.
Auxiliary climate controls (if equipped)
Your vehicle may be equipped with auxiliary climate controls which are
located in the overhead console of the first row and in the headliner for
second row seating. The auxiliary climate control feature provides
increased capacity to quickly heat or cool your vehicle.
If your vehicle is equipped with a manual heating and air conditioning
system, the auxiliary climate controls are dependent on the main climate
control system. If the main climate control system is in the OFF position,
the auxiliary climate controls will not work.
If your vehicle is equipped with a DEATC system, the auxiliary climate
controls are independent of the main climate control system. If the main
climate control system is in the OFF position, the auxiliary climate
controls will still work. However, the A/C function will not operate unless
the A/C control has been selected on the main climate control system.

Troubleshooting the CD changer (if equipped)
The laser beam used in the compact disc player is harmful to the
eyes. Do not attempt to disassemble the case.
If sound skips:
•You may be traveling on a rough road, playing badly scratched discs or
the disc may be dirty. Skipping will not scratch the discs or damage
the player.
If your changer does not work, it may be that:
•A disc is already loaded where you want to insert a disc.
•The disc is inserted with the label surface downward.
•The disc is dusty or defective.
•The player’s internal temperature is above 60°C (140°F). Allow the
player to cool down before operating.
•A disc with format and dimensions not within industry standards is
inserted.
Cleaning compact discs
Inspect all discs for contamination before playing. If necessary, clean
discs only with an approved CD cleaner and wipe from the center out to
the edge. Do not use circular motion.
CD and CD changer care
•Handle discs by their edges only. Never touch the playing surface.
•Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or heat sources for extended
periods of time.
•Do not insert more than one disc into each slot of the CD changer
magazine.
