the wheel to a comfortable position and raise
the lever to lock the wheel in place.

6(Delay/Intermittent Speed Sensitive):When
the lever is in the delay position, move the
intermittent adjust band to set for shorter or longer
delay cycles. To the left of the adjust band are
bars that indicate the frequency of the wipes.
Smaller bars mean the wiper movement is less
frequent. Larger bars mean the wiper movement is
more frequent.
During intermittent wiping mode, the delay cycle
time is sensitive to vehicle speed. As the vehicle
speed increases your delay cycle time will decrease
and wiper movement will occur more frequently.
9(Off):Move the lever to this position to turn off
the windshield wipers.
8(Mist):Move the lever all the way down to
mist and release for a single wiping cycle.
The windshield wipers will stop after one wipe and
the lever will return to its original position. If
additional wipes are needed, hold the band on
mist longer.
As an added safety feature, if the wipers are on
for more than 15 seconds, the vehicle’s headlamps
will turn on automatically. They will turn off
15 seconds after the wipers are turned off.
Windshield Washer
To wash your windshield, press the button at the
end of the lever until the washers begin.
{CAUTION:
In freezing weather, do not use your
washer until the windshield is warmed.
Otherwise the washer uid can form ice
on the windshield, blocking your vision.
When you release the button, the washers will
stop, but the wipers will continue to wipe for about
three times or will resume the speed you were
using before.

Rear Window Wiper/Washer
The rear window
washer/wiper button is
located on the
instrument panel below
the climate controls.
{CAUTION:
In freezing weather, do not use your
washer until the windshield is warmed.
Otherwise the washer uid can form ice
on the windshield, blocking your vision.
5(Delay):Press this side of the button to turn
on the intermittent wiping setting that has a longer
delay.
Y(Washer Fluid):Press this button to wash
and wipe the window.
The rear window washer uses the same uid
bottle as the windshield washer. However, the rear
window washer will run out of uid before the
windshield washer. If you can wash your
windshield but not your rear windows, check the
uid level.
Z(Rear Wiper):Press this side of the button to
turn on an intermittent setting that has a shorter
delay.
To turn either of the intermittent wiper settings off,
press the opposite side of the button to turn it
to the off position. Pressing the button all the way
down on either side will activate an intermittent
wiper setting.

Operation
To change the current mode, select one of the
following:
H(Vent):This mode directs air to the instrument
panel outlets.
)(Bi-Level):This mode directs approximately
half of the air to the instrument panel outlets, and
then directs the remaining air to the oor outlets.
Cooler air is directed to the upper outlets and
warmer air to the oor outlets.
6(Floor):This mode directs most of the air to
the oor outlets with some air directed to the
windshield and side windows.
The right knob can also be used to select defog or
defrost mode. Information on defogging and
defrosting can be found later in this section.
Recirculation mode is not allowed in this mode.
9(Fan):Turn the center knob clockwise
or counterclockwise to increase or decrease the
fan speed. In any setting other than off, the fan will
run continuously with the ignition on. The fan
must be turned on to run the air conditioning (AC)
compressor.
9(Off):To turn the fan off, turn the knob all the
way counterclockwise to the off position.
Temperature Control:Turn the left knob
clockwise or counterclockwise to increase or
decrease the temperature inside your vehicle.
171
Page 173 of 446

The air conditioning system removes moisture
from the air, so you may sometimes notice a small
amount of water dripping underneath your
vehicle while idling or after turning off the engine.
This is normal.
The air conditioning compressor cannot be turned
on when the fan is off.
Defogging and Defrosting
Fog on the inside of windows is a result of high
humidity (moisture) condensing on the cool window
glass. This can be minimized if the climate
control system is used properly. There are
two modes to clear fog or frost from your
windshield and side windows. Use the defog mode
to clear the windows of fog or moisture and
warm the passengers. Use the defrost mode to
remove fog or frost from the windshield more
quickly. For best results, clear all snow and ice
from the windshield before defrosting.
Turn the right knob to select the defog or
defrost mode.
-(Defog):This mode directs approximately half
of the air to the windshield and the side window
outlets and half to the oor outlets. When you
select this mode the system runs the air
conditioning compressor. To defog the windows
faster, turn the temperature control knob clockwise
to the warmest setting.
Recirculation mode is not available in defog mode.
0(Defrost):This mode directs most of the
air to the windshield, with some air directed to the
side window outlets and the oor outlets. When
you select this mode the system runs the air
conditioning compressor. To defrost the windows
faster, turn the temperature control knob
clockwise to the warmest setting.
Recirculation mode is not available in defog mode.
