mode. When the blower control is set to any position
other than off, it selects the amount of air delivered to the
passenger compartment. There are four blower speeds.
The fan speed increases as you
move the control clockwise.
Dual Zone Temperature Control — If Equipped
With the Dual Zone Temperature Control System, each
front seat occupant can independently control the tem-
perature of air coming from the outlets on their side of
the vehicle. This is accomplished by having a separate temperature
control lever for both the driver and front seat passenger.
The blue area of the scale indicates cooler temperatures
while the red area indicates warmer temperatures. Dual Zone Temperature Control UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 279

of these outlets can be individually adjusted to direct the
flow of air. Moving the air vane knob on the center
outlets down, will close off the air flow from the center
outlets. The thumbwheel next to the outboard outlets can
be rotated to regulate or shut off the air flow from these
outlets. Bi-Level Mode

Rear Blower Control
The primary control for the rear blower is on the front
climate control unit located on the instrument panel. The center knob on the front climate control unit has five
positions, “REAR”, “OFF”, and a range of blower speeds.
Only when the primary control for the rear blower is in
the “REAR” position do the second seat occupants have
control of the rear blower speed.
The rear blower control, located in the headliner near the
center of the vehicle has an OFF position and 3 blower
speed positions. This allows the second seat occupants to
control the volume of air circulated in the rear of the
vehicle.

The rear temperature knob and the rear blower speed can
be adjusted as desired by the second seat occupants.
Automatic Temperature Control — If Equipped
The Infrared Three-Zone Automatic Temperature Control
System automatically maintains the interior comfort level
desired by the driver and all passengers. This is accom-
plished by using two infrared sensors, located in the
center of the instrument panel. The two infrared sensors
independently measure the surface temperature of the
driver and passenger. Based on the sensor input, the
system automatically adjusts the air temperature, the air
flow volume, and amount of outside air recirculation.
This maintains a comfortable temperature even under
changing conditions. Operation of the system is quite simple. Begin by press-
ing the auto rocker switch to the “HI” or “LO” position,
the word “AUTO” will illuminate in the front ATC
display along with “HI” or “LO”. The system will then
automatically regulate the amount of air flow. Next, dial
in the temperature you would like the system to maintain
by pressing the driver’s or passenger’s temperature con-
trol button. The rear temperature can only be adjusted
from the front when the “REAR SYSTEM” knob on the Three-Zone Automatic Temperature Control UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 289
