Engine Coolant Temperature Gage
United States Canada
This gage shows the engine coolant temperature.To prevent engine overheating, the air conditioning
compressor will turn off automatically just prior to the
gage pointer entering the shaded area. As the engine
cools down, the air conditioning compressor will
automatically turn back on. On vehicles equipped with
the DIC, the message ENGINE HOT... A/C DISABLED
will appear in the DIC display and a warning chime
will sound.
If the gage pointer moves into the shaded area, your
engine is too hot. On vehicles equipped with the systems
monitor, the CHECK GAGES light will come on and a
warning chime will sound.
On vehicles with a DIC, a CHECK GAGES
TEMPERATURE message will be displayed and a
warning chime will sound. See ªDIC Warnings and
Messagesº in the Index for more information.
The section ªProblems on the Road,º in this manual
explains what to do if your engine overheats. See
ªEngine Overheatingº in the Index.

Comfort Controls
This section tells you how to make your air system work
for you. With this system, 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.
Your vehicle may be equipped with a passenger
compartment air filter. For more information, see
ªPassenger Compartment Air Filterº in the Index.
Standard Climate Control System
FAN: The left knob regulates the force of the air coming
through the system. Push this knob to turn the fan on
and off. Turn the knob clockwise toward HI to increase
the fan speed and counterclockwise toward LO to
decrease the fan speed.The fan must be on in order for
the air conditioning compressor to run.
TEMP (Temperature): The right knob regulates the
temperature of the air coming through the system. Turn
it toward the blue area for cooler air. Turn it toward the
red area for warmer air.

3-7
Be sure not to cover the sensor located on the top of the
instrument panel near the windshield. This sensor
regulates interior temperatures based on sun load.
To avoid blowing cold air through the system in cold
weather, the automatic system will delay turning on the
fan until warm air is available. The length of delay
depends on engine coolant temperature. Pressing the fan
button will override this delay and cancel the automatic
mode, returning the system to manual mode.
The EXT (exterior) temperature sensor is located in the
front of the vehicle behind the grill. The EXT temperature
displayed may not be accurate for a few minutes if you
have restarted the engine after it was already warmed.
Air Conditioning
On hot days, open the windows long enough to let hot
air inside the vehicle escape. This reduces the time it
takes for your vehicle to cool down. Then keep your
windows closed for the air conditioner to work its best.
If you have the standard system, for quick cool
-down on
very hot days, use the airflow from the instrument panel
outlets, press RECIRC and A/C with the temperature knob in
the blue area. If this maximum A/C setting is used for long
periods of time, the air in your vehicle may become too cold
and dry. For normal cooling on hot days, use A/C without
recirculation with the temperature knob in the blue area.If you have the electronic system, in AUTO mode
the system will cool and dehumidify the air inside
the vehicle. Also while in AUTO mode, the system
will maximize its performance by using recirculation
as necessary.
On cool, but sunny days, with the standard system or
through manual operation of the electronic system, use
bi
-level to deliver warm air to the floor and cooler air to
the instrument panel outlets. To warm or cool the air
delivered, turn the temperature knobs.
Heating
If you have the standard system, on cold days use the
floor ducts with the temperature knob in the red area. If
you have the electronic system, press AUTO and adjust
the temperature by turning the temperature knob up or
down. You may also adjust the electronic system
manually by pressing the MODE button and selecting
FLOOR. Again, adjust the temperature by turning the
temperature knobs.
With either system, outside air will be heated and sent
through the floor ducts. The heater works best if you
keep your windows closed while using it.

3-8 Defogging and Defrosting
On cool, humid days, use defog to keep the windshield
and side windows clear. Use FRONT defrost to remove
fog or ice from the windshield quickly in extremely
humid or cold conditions.
If you have the standard system, select defog and adjust
the temperature and fan speed to your comfort level.
Turn the A/C on to help dehumidify the air. Use FRONT
defrost with the temperature toward the red area and the
fan speed toward high.
If you have the electronic system and select FRONT
defrost or defog from AUTO, the system will control the
fan speed.
After the windshield is clear, adjust the temperature to
your normal setting and select the AUTO button and
return to AUTO mode and fan control.
For maximum FRONT defrost performance under
extreme icing or frosting conditions, increase the
temperature setting to 90
F (33
C) and increase
the fan speed to high.
Rear Window Defogger
The lines you see on the rear window warm the glass.
Press the button to start
warming your window.
A light will glow in the
button while the defogger
is working.
If your vehicle is equipped with heated mirrors, this
button will activate them.
After 10 minutes the system will turn off by itself, or
press the button during the heating cycle to turn it off.
If you need additional warming time, push the button
again. The system will then operate for five minutes
before turning off by itself. If your speed is maintained
over 30 mph (48 km/h), the rear defog will not turn off
automatically to help keep the rear glass clear.
