MANUAL HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
(IF EQUIPPED)
1.Temperature selection:
Controls the temperature of the
airflow in the vehicle.
2.Air flow selections:Controls
the direction of the airflow in the
vehicle. See the following for a brief
description on each control.
MAX A/C:Uses recirculated air
through the instrument panel registers to cool the vehicle. This mode is
more noisy than A/C, but is more economical and efficient and may help
prevent undesirable odors from entering the vehicle.
:Distributes outside air through the instrument panel vents.
:Distributes outside air through the instrument panel vents and
floor ducts.
O (OFF):Outside air is shut out and the fan will not operate.
:Distributes outside air through the floor vents.
:Distributes outside air through the windshield defroster vents and
floor vents.
:Distributes outside air through the windshield defroster vents.
3.A/C:Used to manually enable or disable the operation of the air
conditioning in all modes except Floor & Defrost, Defrost and MAX A/C.
4.
: Clears ice and fog from the rear windshield.
5.Fan speed adjustment:Controls the volume of air circulated in the
vehicle.
Since the air conditioner removes moisture from the air, it is considered
normal operation if water drips on the ground under the air conditioner
drain.
The A/C compressor will only function if the outside temperature is
above approximately 2°C (35°F).

16.Temperature conversion:
Press to toggle between Fahrenheit
and Celsius temperature on the
DATC display only. The set point temperatures in Celsius will be
displayed in half-degree increments.
Manual override controls:Allows
you to manually determine where
airflow is directed. To return to fully
automatic control, press AUTO.
Dual automatic temperature control (DATC) system with heated
and cooled seats (if equipped)
1.A/C:Press to engage/disengage
the air conditioning in all modes
except defrost and floor/defrost.
Uses outside air to cool the vehicle.
2.Recirculation control:Press to
engage/disengage. Used to manually
enable or disable recirculated air
operation. When activated, recirculates air in the cabin thereby reducing
the amount of time to cool down the interior of the vehicle. May also
help reduce undesired odors from reaching the interior of the vehicle.F C

Compass zone adjustment
1. Determine which magnetic zone
you are in for your geographic
location by referring to the zone
map.
2. Turn ignition to the ON position.
3. Start the engine.
4. Locate the reset button on the
compass sensor mounted on the
base of mirror.
5. Press and hold for six seconds
and release. You will see that ZONE
appears in the instrument cluster display.
6. Press and release the button until the desired zone number appears.
Note:The range of zone values are from 01 to 15 and “wraps” back to
01.
7. The zone will be stored, and the cluster display will return to the
normalmode when the button has not been pressed for 4 seconds.
Compass calibration adjustment
Perform this adjustment in an open area free from steel structures and
high voltage lines. For optimum calibration, turn off all electrical
accessories (heater/air conditioning, wipers, etc.) and make sure all
vehicle doors are shut.
1. Start the vehicle.
2. Locate the reset button on the
compass sensor mounted on the
base of mirror.
3. To enter the compass calibration
mode, press and hold the button for greater than eight seconds. The
display will then show CAL in the display window.
4. Drive the vehicle slowly (less than 3 mph [5 km/h]) in circles until
CAL indicator turns off. As many as 5 complete circles may be required.
5. The compass is now calibrated.

8. To exit the zone setting mode,
and to “lock in” your change, press
and release the RESET control.
Perform compass calibration in an open area free from steel structures
and high voltage lines. For optimum calibration, turn off all electrical
accessories (heater/air conditioning, wipers, etc.) and make sure all
vehicle doors are shut.
9. Press the RESET control to start
the compass calibration function.
10. Slowly drive the vehicle in a
circle (less than 3 mph [5 km/h])
until the CIRCLE SLOWLY TO
CALIBRATE display changes to CALIBRATION COMPLETE. It will take
up to five circles to complete calibration.
11. The compass is now calibrated.
Distance to empty (DTE)
Selecting this function from the
INFO menu estimates approximately
how far you can drive with the fuel
remaining in your tank under
normal driving conditions.
Remember to turn the ignition OFF
when refueling to allow this feature to correctly detect the added fuel.
The DTE function will display LOW FUEL LEVEL and sound a tone for
one second when you have approximately 50 miles (80 km) to empty. If
you RESET this warning message, this display and tone will return
within 10 minutes.
DTE is calculated using a running average fuel economy, which is based
on your recent driving history of 500 miles (800 km). This value is not
the same as the average fuel economy display. The running average fuel
economy is reinitialized to a factory default value if the battery is
disconnected.

Some warning lights will briefly illuminate. SeeWarning lights and
chimesin theInstrument Clusterchapter for more information
regarding the warning lights.
Starting the engine
Note:Whenever you start your vehicle, release the key as soon as the
engine starts. Excessive cranking could damage the starter.
1. Turn the key to 4 (START)
without pressing the accelerator
pedal and release as soon as the
engine starts. The key will return to
3 (ON).
2. When the engine starts, release the key.
3. After idling for a few seconds, apply the brake, shift into gear and
drive.
Note:If the engine does not start within five seconds on the first try,
turn the key to OFF, wait 10 seconds and try again. If the engine still
fails to start, press the accelerator to the floor and try again; this will
allow the engine to crank with the fuel shut off in case the engine is
flooded with fuel.
Guarding against exhaust fumes
Carbon monoxide is present in exhaust fumes. Take precautions to avoid
its dangerous effects.
If you smell exhaust fumes inside your vehicle, have your dealer
inspect your vehicle immediately. Do not drive if you smell
exhaust fumes.
Important ventilating information
If the engine is idling while the vehicle is stopped for a long period of
time, open the windows at least one inch (2.5 cm) or adjust the heating
or air conditioning to bring in fresh air.

•NEVER decrease the coolant concentration below 40%.
•Decreased engine coolant concentrations below 40% will
decrease the corrosion protection characteristics of the engine
coolant and may cause engine damage.
•Decreased engine coolant concentrations below 40% will
decrease the freeze protection characteristics of the engine
coolant and may cause engine damage.
•Refer to the chart on the coolant container to ensure the
coolant concentration in your vehicle will provide adequate
protection at the temperatures in which you drive.
Vehicles driven year-round in non-extreme climates should use a 50/50
mixture of engine coolant and distilled water for optimum cooling system
and engine protection.
What you should know about fail-safe cooling
If the engine coolant supply is depleted, this feature allows the vehicle to
be driven temporarily before incremental component damage is incurred.
The “fail-safe” distance depends on ambient temperatures, vehicle load
and terrain.
How fail-safe cooling works
If the engine begins to overheat:
•The engine coolant temperature
gauge will move to the red (hot)
area.
•CHECK ENGINE TEMPERATURE
will illuminate in the message
center (if equipped).
•The
indicator light will illuminate.
•CHECK GAGE will appear on the instrument panel cluster.
If the engine reaches a preset over-temperature condition, the engine
will automatically switch to alternating cylinder operation. Each disabled
cylinder acts as an air pump and cools the engine.
When this occurs the vehicle will still operate. However:
•The engine power will be limited.
•The air conditioning system will be disabled.
•Warning messages will appear in the message center (if equipped).
