Trunk
CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with the trunk lid
open because carbon monoxide (CO) gas can
come into your vehicle. You can't see or smell
CO. It can cause unconsciousness and even death.
If you must drive with the trunk lid open or if
electrical wiring or other cable connections must
pass through the seal between the body and the
trunk lid:
Make sure all other windows are shut.
Turn the fan on your heating or cooling
system to its highest speed with the setting
on VENT. That will force outside air into
your vehicle. See ªComfort Controlsº in
the Index.
If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all the way.
See ªEngine Exhaustº in the Index.
Trunk Lock
To unlock the trunk from the outside, insert the key and
turn it clockwise.
You can also use the remote keyless entry transmitter
(if equipped).
Remote Trunk Release
Press the button on the
left side of the instrument
panel to unlock the trunk
from inside your vehicle.
Your vehicle must be
in PARK (P).

Comfort Controls
Air Conditioning with Electronic Controls
With this system, you can control the heating, cooling
and ventilation in your vehicle. The system works best if
you keep your windows closed while using it.Fan Knob
The left knob regulates the amount of air coming into
the vehicle. To turn the fan off, turn the knob to OFF.
The fan must be on for the air conditioning compressor
to operate.
If the airflow seems very low when the fan knob is
turned to the highest setting, regardless of the mode
setting, your passenger compartment air filter (if
equipped) may need to be replaced. See ªMaintenance
Scheduleº and ªPassenger Compartment Air Filterº
in the Index.
Temperature Knob
The right knob changes the temperature of the air
coming through the system. Turn this knob clockwise
(toward red) for warmer air. Turn it counterclockwise
(toward blue) for cooler air.

DRIVER (Driver Temperature): This knob regulates
the temperature for the entire vehicle when the PASS
knob is in the center neutral position. Turn the DRIVER
knob clockwise (toward red) to raise the temperature.
Turn it counterclockwise (toward blue) to lower the
temperature. The display will show your selection for a
few seconds, then it will show the outside temperature.
If you press the knob, the set temperature will again
be displayed for a few seconds, followed by the
outside temperature.
PASS (Passenger's
Temperature): This knob
adjusts the air temperature
on the passenger's side
to be warmer or cooler
than the temperature set
by the driver.
Turn the PASS knob clockwise to raise the temperature.
Turn it counterclockwise to lower the temperature.
The passenger side temperature will not be shown in
the display.Off Button
Press the OFF button to turn the system off. The display
will show OFF and outside temperature.
Manual Control of the Automatic System
If you prefer to manually control the heating, cooling
and ventilation in your vehicle, set the system to the
temperature and fan speed you want. Next, press the
mode button to select the desired airflow direction. The
system will try to maintain the temperature you set using
the mode you select. The following suggestions will
help the system run more efficiently in manual mode.
(Fan): The button with the fan symbol and the two
arrows located below the display is used to manually
select the force of air desired. The display will show the
fan speed.
If the airflow seems very low when the fan is turned
to the highest setting regardless of the setting, your
passenger compartment air filter may need to be
replaced. See ªMaintenance Scheduleº and
ªPassenger Compartment Air Filterº in the Index.

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
Power (RAP). With RAP, you can play your audio
system even after the ignition is turned off. See
ªRetained Accessory Power (RAP)º in the Index.
Setting the Clock
Press and hold HR until the correct hour appears.
The letters A or P may appear on the display for AM
or PM. Then, press and hold MN until the correct
minute appears. The clock may be set with the ignition
on or off.
To set the clock to the time of an FM station
broadcasting Radio Data System (RDS) information,
press and hold HR and MN at the same time until
UPDATED appears on the display. If the time is not
available from the station, NO UPDATE will appear on
the display instead.

Playing the Radio
POWER: Press this knob to turn the system on and off.
VOLUME: Turn the knob clockwise to increase
volume. Turn it counterclockwise to decrease volume.
SCV (Speed
-Compensated Volume): With SCV, your
audio system adjusts automatically to make up for road
and wind noise as you drive. Set the volume at the
desired level. Press this button to select MIN, MED or
MAX. Each higher choice allows for more volume
compensation at faster vehicle speeds. Then, as you
drive, SCV automatically increases the volume, as
necessary, to overcome noise at any speed. The volume
level should always sound the same to you as you drive.
If you don't want to use SCV, select OFF.
RCL (Recall): Press this button to display the time with
the ignition on or off. When the radio is playing, press
this knob to display the station frequency.

Using RDS
Your audio system is equipped with a Radio Data
System (RDS). RDS mode gives you many useful new
features. With RDS, the 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 for use on FM stations
which broadcast RDS information. The RDS features of
your radio rely upon 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, 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.Finding a PTY Preset Station
To find a PTY preset station, perform the
following steps:
1. Press the P
-TYPE button to turn on PTY select, if it
is not already on. PTY will be displayed and the light
next to the button will turn on. The last selected PTY
will appear on the display for five seconds.
2. Turn the P
-TYPE knob either clockwise or
counterclockwise to select a program type. The list is
alphabetical. If you select ANY TYPE your radio
will seek to the first PTY available.
3. Push the SEEK button to activate search. The radio
will seek to the first RDS broadcaster of the selected
program type. If the radio cannot find the desired
program type, NOT FOUND will appear on the
display and the radio will return to the last station
you were listening to.
To use the P
-TYPE interrupt feature, press and hold
the P
-TYPE button until you hear a beep on the PTY
you want to interrupt on. An asterisk will appear next to
the PTY name (for example CLASSICAL*). When you
are listening to a compact disc, the last selected RDS
FM station will interrupt play if that selected PTY
format is broadcast.
