Lockout Protection
This feature protects you from locking your key in the
vehicle when the key is in the ignition and a door is open.
If the power lock switch is pressed when a door is open
and the key is in the ignition, all
of the doors will
lock and then the driver’s door will unlock.
Liftgate/Liftglass
It can be dangerous to drive with the liftgab- or
liftglass 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
liftgate open or
if electrical wiring or other
cable connections must pass through the seal
between the body and the liftgate or liftglass:
Make sure all other windows are shut.

Climate Controls
Electronic Climate Control System
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.
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. The temperature can be adjusted even if the
system is turned off. This is possible since outside air
will always
flow through the system as the vehicle
is moving forward unless it is set
to recirculation mode.
See “Recirculation” later in this section.
Turn the knob counterclockwise or clockwise
to lower or
increase the cabin temperature. The display will show
the temperature setting decreasing or increasing and an
arrow pointing
to the driver will be displayed under
and
to the left of the temperature setting.
Passenger’s Side Temperature Knob
The passenger’s side knob can be used to change the
temperature of the air coming through the system
on the passenger’s side
of the vehicle. The temperature
can be adjusted even
if the system is turned off. This
is possible since outside air will always flow through the
system as the vehicle is moving forward unless
it is
set
to recirculation mode. See “Recirculation later” in
this section.

Turn the knob counterclockwise or clockwise to lower or
increase the cabin temperature. The display will show
the temperature setting decreasing or increasing and an
arrow pointing
to the passenger will be displayed
under and
to the right of the temperature setting.
The passenger’s temperature setting can be set
to
match the driver’s temperature setting by pressing and
holding the AUTO button for four seconds. Both the
driver and passenger arrows will be displayed.
Automatic Operation
AUTO (Automatic): When automatic operation is
active the system will control the inside temperature, the
air delivery, and the fan speed.
0 (Off): Press this button to turn off the entire climate
control system. Outside air will still enter the vehicle,
and will be directed
to the floor. This direction can
be changed by pressing the mode button. The
temperature can also be adjusted using either
temperature knob. Press the up or down arrows on the
fan switch, the defrost button, the AUTO button, or
the air conditioning button
to turn the system on when it
is off.
Use the steps below to place the entire system in
automatic mode:
1. Press the AUTO button.
When AUTO is selected, the display will change
to
show the current driver’s set temperature, delivery
mode and fan speed. Press the AUTO button again
within five seconds
to display the passenger’s set
temperature.
If the driver and passenger’s temperature settings
are not the same, the opposite side temperature
setting will be displayed for an additional five
seconds. To make the passenger’s temperature the
same as the driver’s press and hold the AUTO
button for approximately four seconds.
When auto is selected, the air conditioning operation
and air inlet will be automatically controlled. The
air conditioning compressor will run when the
outside temperature is over approximately
40°F
(4°C). The air inlet will normally be set to outside air.
If it’s hot outside, the air inlet may automatically
switch
to recirculate inside air to help quickly cool
down your vehicle. The light on the button will
illuminate in recirculation.

the following errors.
The tape is tight and the player can’t turn the tape
hubs. Remove the tape. Hold the tape with the
open end down and try to turn the right hub
counterclockwise with a pencil. Turn the tape over
and repeat. If the hubs do not turn easily, your
tape may be damaged and should not be used in
the player. Try a new tape
to make sure your player
is working properly.
The tape is broken. Try a new tape.
* The tape is wrapped around the tape head. Attempt
to get the cassette out. Try a new tape.
CLEAN: If this message appears on the display, the
cassette tape player needs to be cleaned. It will still play
tapes, but you should clean it as soon as possible to
prevent damage
to the tapes and player. See Care
of Your Cassette Tape Player on page 3-87.
If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error can’t be
corrected, contact your dealer.
CD Adapter Kits
It is possible to use a portable CD player adapter kit
with your cassette tape player after activating the bypass
feature on your tape player.

If your engine is still running, shift the transmission
to REVERSE (R), release the parking brake, and
slowly back down the hill as straight as possible in
REVERSE (R).
As you are backing down the hill, put your left hand
on the steering wheel at the
12 o’clock position.
This way, you’ll be able
to tell if your wheels
are straight and maneuver as you back down.
It’s best that you back down the hill with your wheels
straight rather than in the left or right direction.
Turning the wheel
too far to the left or right
will increase the possibility of a rollover.
Here are some things you
must not do if you stall, or
are about to stall, when going up a hill.
Never attempt to prevent a stall by shifting into
NEUTRAL (N)
to “rev-up” the engine and regain
forward momentum. This won’t work. Your vehicle
will roll backwards very quickly and you could
go out of control. Instead, apply the
regular brake to stop the vehicle.
Then apply the parking brake. Shift to
REVERSE
(R), release the parking brake, and
slowly back straight down.
Never attempt to turn around if you are about to
stall when going up a hill. If the hill is steep
enough to stall your vehicle, it’s steep enough
to
cause you to roll over if you turn around. If you can’t
make it up the hill, you must back straight down
the hill.
Q: Suppose, after stalling, I try to back down
the hill and decide
I just can’t do it. What
should
I do?
A: Set the parking brake, put your transmission in
PARK
(P) and turn off the engine. Leave the
vehicle and
go get some help. Exit on the uphill
side and stay clear of the path the vehicle would
take
if it rolled downhill.

Adding only plain water to your cooling
system can be dangerous. Plain water, or
some other liquid such as alcohol, can boil
before the proper coolant mixture will. Your
vehicle's coolant warning system
is set for the
proper coolant mixture.
With plain water or the
wrong mixture, your engine could get too hot
but you wouldn't get the overheat warning.
Your engine could catch fire and you or others
could be burned. Use a
50/50 mixture of clean,
drinkable water and DEX
COOL@ coolant.
Notice: In cold weather, water can freeze and crack
the engine, radiator, heater core and other parts.
Use the recommended coolant and the proper
coolant mixture. You can be burned
if you spill coolant on tist
engine parts. Coolant contains ethylene glycol
and
it will burn if the engine parts are hot
enough. Don't
spill coolant on a hot engine.
1. Park the vehicle on a
level surface.
SURGE RESERVOIR

You
can remove the coolant surge tank pressure
cap when the cooling system, including the coolant
surge tank pressure cap and upper radiator hose,
is no longer hot.
Turn the pressure cap slowly counterclockwise
(left) about one full turn. If you hear a hiss, wait for
that
to stop. A hiss means there is still some
pressure left.
