Dual Automatic Climate
Control System
With this system, you can control the heating,
cooling, and ventilation in your vehicle. Your
vehicle also has a ow-through ventilation system
described later in this section.
You can select different climate control
temperature settings for the driver and passengers.
203

When AUTO is selected, the air conditioning
operation and air inlet are automatically
controlled. The air conditioning compressor
runs when the outside temperature is
over about 40°F (4°C). The air inlet is normally
set to outside air. If it is hot outside, the air
inlet can automatically switch to recirculate
inside air to help quickly cool down your
vehicle. The light comes on the recirculation
button while in recirculation.
2. Set the driver’s and passenger’s temperature.
To nd your comfort setting, start with a
73°F (23°C) temperature setting and allow
about 20 minutes for the system to regulate.
Use the driver’s or passenger’s temperature
buttons to adjust the temperature setting
as necessary. If you choose the temperature
setting of 60°F (15°C), the system remains
at the maximum cooling setting. If you choose
the temperature setting of 90°F (32°C), the
system remains at the maximum heat setting.
Choosing either maximum setting will not
cause the vehicle to heat or cool any faster.Do not cover the solar sensor located on the
top of the instrument panel near the windshield.
This sensor regulates air temperature based
on sun load and also turns on your vehicle’s
headlamps. For more information on the solar
sensor, see “Sensors” later in this section.
To avoid blowing cold air in cold weather, the
system delays turning on the fan until warm air is
available. The length of delay depends on the
engine coolant temperature. Press the fan switch
to override this delay and change the fan to a
selected speed.
O(On/Off):Press this button to turn off the
climate control system. Outside air still enters
the vehicle, and is directed to the oor. This
direction can be changed by pressing the mode
button. Recirculation can only be selected in
vent or bi-level mode. The temperature can also
be adjusted using either temperature button.
If you adjust the air delivery mode or temperature
settings with the system off, the display comes
on briey to show the settings and then turns off.
Press the on/off button or the up down arrows
on the fan switch, the defrost button, AUTO button,
or the air conditioning button to turn the system
on when it is off.
