OPERATING TIPS
•To reduce fog build up on the windshield during humid weather, place
the air flow selector in the
position.
•To reduce humidity build up inside the vehicle: do not drive with the
air flow selector in the OFF or (in cold weather) MAX A/C position.
•Under normal weather conditions, do not leave the air flow selector in
MAX A/C or OFF when the vehicle is parked. This allows the vehicle
to “breathe” using the outside air inlet vents.
•Do not put objects under the front seats that will interfere with the
airflow to the back seats.
•Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of
the windshield.
To aid in side window defogging/demisting in cold weather:
1. Select
.
2. Select A/C.
3. Modulate the temperature control to maintain comfort.
4. Set the fan speed to the highest setting.
5. Direct the outer instrument panel vents towards the side windows.
To increase airflow to the outer instrument panel vents, close the vents
located in the middle of the instrument panel.
Do not place objects on top of the instrument panel as these
objects may become projectiles in a collision or sudden stop.

AUXILIARY A/C-HEATER CONTROLS (IF EQUIPPED)
Your vehicle may be equipped with auxiliary climate controls. These
allow the front or rear seat passengers to control airflow direction,
temperature and fan level of the rear compartment to quickly heat or
cool the vehicle.
Auxiliary climate controls are located in the first row overhead console
and in the floor console on the back of the front row console.
If the main climate control system is in the OFF position, the auxiliary
climate control will not operate.
The auxiliary unit can be controlled either by the front seat occupant(s)
using the front auxiliary control or by the rear seat passenger(s) using
the rear auxiliary control but not both. To control the auxiliary unit using
the rear control, the front auxiliary blower control must be in the REAR
position.
Front auxiliary controls:
1.Temperature control:
Determines airflow temperature in
the rear of the vehicle. If the main
climate control system is cooling in
MAX A/C or
mode, the
auxiliary temperature control will
not function as the entire vehicle
will operate at a full cool
temperature.
2.Mode selector:Press to select
air flow direction to
(Floor) or(Panel).
Directs air to the floor of the third row seating.
directs air to the overhead registers of the second and third row
seating. The selected mode will illuminate on the temperature control.
3.Fan control:Determines fan speed in the auxiliary system. Turn to
REAR to give rear seat passengers control of the rear auxiliary controls.
Otherwise, the front auxiliary control will determine the settings for the
auxiliary A/C-heater. If set to O (OFF), the rear auxiliary controls will
not function.

REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER
Used to manually enable or disable
rear window defrost in all modes.
After approximately 10 minutes of
rear defrost operation, the climate
control system will automatically
disable the rear defrost operation. If
desired, the rear defrost can be
manually disabled through the use
of the rear defrost button. When
operating, the rear defrost indicator will be lit. The rear window
defroster switch also activates the standard exterior mirror defrost
feature.
Do not use razor blades or other sharp objects to clean the inside
of the rear window or to remove decals from the inside of the
rear window. This may cause damage to the heated grid lines and
will not be covered by your warranty.

PANEL DIMMER CONTROL
Use to adjust the brightness of the
instrument panel and all applicable
switches in the vehicle during
headlamp and parklamp operation.
Move the control to the full upright
position, past detent, to turn on the
interior lamps.
Move the control to the full down
position, past detent, to prevent the interior lights from illuminating
when the doors are opened.
VERTICAL AIM ADJUSTMENT
1. Park the vehicle directly in front of a wall or screen on a level surface,
approximately 25 feet (7.6 meters) away.
•(1) Eight feet
•(2) Center height of lamp to ground
•(3) Twenty-five feet
•(4) Horizontal reference line
2. Measure the height from the
center of your headlamp (indicated
by a 3.0 mm circle on the lens) to
the ground and mark an 8 foot
(2.4 meter) horizontal reference line
on the vertical wall or screen at this
height (a piece of masking tape
works well).
3. Turn on the low beam headlamps
to illuminate the wall or screen and open the hood. Cover one of the
headlamps so no light hits the wall.
4. On the wall or screen you will
observe a light pattern with a
distinct horizontal edge towards the
right. If this edge is not at the
horizontal reference line, the beam will need to be adjusted so the edge
is at the same height as the horizontal reference line.
