Comfort Controls
This section tells you how to make your air systems
work for you.
With these systems, you can control the heating,
cooling and ventilation in your vehicle. Your vehicle
also has a flow
-through ventilation system described
later in this section.
Comfort Controls Personalization
(If Equipped)
If your vehicle is equipped with memory seats and
mirrors, you can store and recall the climate control
settings for temperature, air delivery mode and fan
speed for two different drivers. The personal choice
settings recalled are determined by the transmitter used
to enter the vehicle. After the button with the unlock
symbol on a remote keyless entry transmitter is pressed,
the climate control will adjust to the last settings of the
identified driver. The settings can also be changed by
pressing one of the memory buttons (1 or 2) located on
the driver's door. When adjustments are made, the new
settings are automatically saved for that driver.

Control System
With this system, you can select different comfort
control settings for the driver and passengers.
Driver's Side Temperature Knob
The driver's side knob is used to adjust the temperature
of the air coming through the system on the driver's
side. Turn the knob counterclockwise to lower the cabin
temperature. The display will show the temperature
decreasing as you turn the knob counterclockwise.

3-8 Rear Comfort Control
The lower buttons on the rear seat audio system 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 is 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.
Ventilation System
For mild outside temperatures when little heating or
cooling is needed, use the panel outlet setting 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.
