Temperature Buttons
Maintain the temperature inside the vehicle by using the
red and blue arrows located below the digital display. If
you want a warmer comfort level, push the red arrow. If
you want a cooler comfort level, push the blue arrow.
Your selected comfort setting will be shown on the
digital display for five seconds, then the outside
temperature will be displayed.
Manual Operation
Use the left and right mode knobs, along with the
buttons on your climate control system to operate the
system manually.
OFF: Turning the left mode knob to OFF will cause
the fan to turn off and the airflow to be directed through
the floor ducts. The system will work to maintain the
previously chosen temperature setting. The display will
show the outside temperature when the system is set
to OFF.
(Panel): This setting directs the airflow through
the instrument panel outlets.
(Bi-Level): This setting directs the airflow
through both the instrument panel outlets and the floor
ducts. There is also a small amount of air directed to the
front defroster and the side window defrosters.
(Floor): This setting directs most of the airflow
to the floor ducts. There is also some airflow directed
to the side window defrosters and a small amount of
airflow directed to the front defroster.
(Defogger): This setting directs the majority
of the airflow to the floor ducts and the front defroster,
with a small amount of airflow to the side window
defrosters. This can be useful in helping to remove
moisture from the inside of the windshield when the
outside temperature is cold or the humidity is high. The
air conditioning indicator light will come on to show the
air compressor is working to dehumidify the air.
(Defroster): This setting directs the majority of the
airflow to the windshield with some airflow to the side
window defrosters and the floor ducts. To increase the
fan speed, turn the right mode knob clockwise.
Even though air conditioning is not selected, in defrost
mode the air conditioning compressor will run
automatically at temperatures over approximately 40
F
(4
C) to improve windshield clearing performance. This
dehumidifies the air to help dry the windshield. Even
though the compressor may be running, the air
conditioning indicator light will not come on in defrost
unless you select air conditioning.

3-6 Comfort Controls Personalization
(If Equipped)
This feature enables up to two drivers to store and recall
comfort control settings for temperature, air delivery
mode and fan speed.
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 remote
keyless entry transmitter.
To recall comfort settings, press the unlock button
on the remote keyless entry transmitter and put the
ignition in ACC (Accessory) or ON. The climate
control setting last chosen by the identified
driver (1 or 2) will be recalled.
To program a personal climate control setting, do
the following:
1. Choose a climate control setting for the driver
and if desired, for the passenger. See ªAutomatic
Electronic Climate Controlº and ªPassenger
Temperature Control (Option)º earlier in this section.
2. Adjust the direction of the airflow.3. Locate the memory buttons on the driver's
door panel.
4. Press a memory button (1 or 2) until you hear two

Air Conditioning
The air conditioner cools and dehumidifies the air inside
of the vehicle.
The air conditioning compressor is enabled in all
modes unless the air conditioning button is not selected
(the indicator light will not be illuminated). However,
the air conditioning compressor will not operate when
the outside temperature is below 34
F (1
C). When the
air conditioner is on, you may sometimes notice slight
changes in your vehicle's engine speed and power. This
is normal, because the system is designed to cycle the
compressor on and off to maintain the desired
temperature and to help with fuel economy.

Understanding Radio Reception
AM
The range for most AM stations is greater than for
FM, especially at night. The longer range, however, can
cause stations to interfere with each other. AM can pick
up noise from things like storms and power lines. Try
reducing the treble to reduce this noise if you ever get it.
FM Stereo
FM stereo will give you the best sound, but FM signals
will reach only about 10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km). Tall
buildings or hills can interfere with FM signals, causing
the sound to come and go.
Cellular Phone Usage
Cellular phone usage may cause interference with
your vehicle's radio. This interference may occur when
making or receiving phone calls, charging the phone's
battery or simply having the phone on. This interference
is described as an increased level of static while
listening to the radio. If you notice static while listening
to the radio, unplug the cellular phone and turn it off.
