10. Fan Speed: Press to manually increase or decrease the fan
speed. To return to automatic fan operation, press AUTO.
11. 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. Will work in all modes except
defrost. In automatic operation, the recirculated air operates
automatically as necessary to achieve the selected temperature.
12. EXT control: Press to display the outside air temperature. Press
again to return to interior temperature. Note: Exterior readings are most
accurate when the vehicle has been moving for a period of time.
13. A/C control: Press to activate/deactivate air conditioning. Use with
recirculated air to improve cooling performance and efficiency. Engages
automatically in AUTO, (defrost) and (floor/defrost).
14. OFF: Outside air is shut out and the fan will not operate.
15. Driver’s side temperature control: Controls the temperature on
the driver side of the vehicle in dual zone and controls the temperature
of both the driver and passenger sides in single zone.
16. AUTO: Press to engage automatic temperature control. Use the
temperature control to select the desired temperature setting. The
system will automatically determine fan speed, airflow location, A/C on or
off, and outside or recirculated air to heat or cool the vehicle, allowing it
to reach the desired temperature. Press and hold AUTO for about two
seconds to toggle between single zone and dual zone temperature control.
Dual Automatic Temperature Control (DATC) system 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
system OFF, or with recirculated air engaged and A/C off.
• 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 improve the A/C cool down, drive with the windows slightly open
for 2-3 minutes after start up or until the vehicle has been “aired out.”

Pull toward you slightly to activate
and release to deactivate.
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.
At dusk and dawn, the brightness
are illuminated to higher than
normal intensity to enhance contrast
and visibility. The system automatically “dims down” as ambient light
reaches the dash-mounted sensor. The interior control lights dim
progressively in four steps until they reach nighttime operating levels.
Certain displays like the message center and the climate control unit do
not change with the dimmer control till the dash-mounted sensor senses
full night conditions. O F F

information through a constant
monitor of vehicle systems. Yo u
may select display features on the message center for a display of status
preceded by a brief indicator chime. The system will also notify you of
potential vehicle problems with a display of system warnings followed by
a long indicator chime.

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 when you have
approximately 50 miles (80 km) to empty. If you RESET this warning
message, this display 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.
Average fuel economy (AFE)
Select this function from the INFO
menu to display your average fuel
economy in miles/gallon or liters/100
km.
If you calculate your average fuel
economy by dividing gallons of fuel
used by gallons of fuel used by 100 miles traveled (kilometers traveled
by liters used), your figure may be different than displayed for the
following reasons:
• Your vehicle was not perfectly level during fill-up
• Differences in the automatic shut-off points on the fuel pumps at
service stations
• Variations in top-off procedure from one fill-up to another
• Rounding of the displayed values to the nearest 0.1 gallon (liter)
1. Drive the vehicle at least 5 miles (8 km) with the speed control
system engaged to display a stabilized average.
2. Record the highway fuel economy for future reference.
It is important to press the RESET control (press and hold RESET for 2
Seconds in order to reset the function) after setting the speed control to
get accurate highway fuel economy readings.
For more information refer to Fuel Information in the Maintenance
and Specifications chapter.

Average Speed
Select this function from the INFO menu to display AVERAGE SPEED
and press the RESET control (press and hold RESET for 2 Seconds in
order to reset the function). Your average speed from that point will be
displayed until RESET is pressed and held for two seconds again.
Compass display
Select this function from the INFO menu. Press the INFO button
repeatedly until the Compass and Odometer are displayed. (Do not
select Trip, DTE, or AFE. The top of the message center must be blank).
The compass reading may be affected when you drive near large
buildings, bridges, power lines and powerful broadcast antenna. Magnetic
or metallic objects placed in, on or near the vehicle may also affect
compass accuracy.
Usually, when something affects the compass readings, the compass will
correct itself after a few days of operating your vehicle in normal conditions.
If the compass still appears to be inaccurate, a manual calibration may be
necessary. Refer to Compass zone/calibration adjustment.
Most geographic areas (zones) have a magnetic north compass point that
varies slightly from the northerly direction on maps. This variation is four
degrees between adjacent zones and will become noticeable as the
vehicle crosses multiple zones. A correct zone setting will eliminate this
error. Refer to Compass zone/calibration adjustment.
Compass zone/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. Turn ignition to the RUN position.
2. Start the engine.
3. Press the INFO button repeatedly until the Compass and Odometer
are displayed. (Do not select Trip, DTE, or AFE. The top of the message
center must be blank).
Note: If the compass displays  CAL 000000.0 mi  instead of heading
information, the compass will need to be calibrated. Slowly drive the
vehicle in a circle (less than 3 mph [5 km/h]) until the  CAL  indicator
changes to display compass heading. This may take up to 3 circles to
complete calibration.

the compass calibration function.
9. Slowly drive the vehicle in a
circle (less than 3 mph [5 km/h])
until the CIRCLE SLOWLY TO
CALIBRATE indicator changes to
CALIBRATION COMPLETED. This
will take up to three circles to complete calibration.
