Section 3 Instrument Panel

)(Bi-Level):This mode directs about half of the
air to the instrument panel outlets, then directs
most of the remaining air to the floor outlets. Some
air may be directed toward the windshield.
6(Floor):This mode directs most of the air to
the floor outlets with some air directed to the
outboard outlets (for the side windows) and some
air directed to the windshield.
The right knob can also be used to select the
defrost and defog modes. Information on defogging
and defrosting can be found later in this section.
9(Fan):Turn the left knob clockwise or
counterclockwise to increase or decrease the fan
speed.
Temperature Control:Turn the center knob
clockwise or counterclockwise to increase
or decrease the temperature inside your vehicle.If your vehicle has air conditioning, your heating/air
conditioning controls will look like this:
On hot days, open the windows to let hot inside
air escape; then close them. This helps to reduce
the time it takes for your vehicle to cool down.
It also helps the system to operate more efficiently.
A/C (Air Conditioning):This setting will begin
to cool and dehumidify the air inside of your
vehicle.
MAX A/C (Maximum Air Conditioning):Turn the
right knob to MAX A/C for maximum cooling.
This setting cools the air the fastest, by
recirculating the inside air.
160

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 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 knob on the right of the climate control
panel to select the defog or defrost mode.
-(Defog):With this setting, the outside air
comes out of both the floor and defroster outlets.
Adjust the temperature knob for warmer or
cooler air. The air conditioning compressor may
operate in this setting to dehumidify the air.
1(Defrost):This setting operates the defroster.
Most of the air comes out near the windshield,
with some going to the floor outlets and front side
windows. The air conditioning compressor may
operate in this setting to dehumidify the air.
The defog setting is useful for cold weather with
a large number of passengers or very humid
conditions to help keep the windshield clear.
Use defrost to remove fog or ice from the
windshield quickly in extremely cold conditions.
The temperature knob should be in the red area
and the fan control toward high. Do not drive the
vehicle until all the windows are clear.

Rear Air Conditioning and
Heating System
Your vehicle may have a rear heating and
air-conditioning system. This system regulates the
temperature, the fan speed and the air delivery for
the rear-seat passengers only. It also works with
the main climate-control system in your vehicle.
Use this control panel when you would like to
maintain a separate temperature setting. Adjust the
direction of the airflow or adjust the fan speed
for the rear seat passenger(s).If your vehicle has a 135 inch (343 cm) wheelbase,
a rear control panel for this system is located in
the second row behind the driver in the rear
of your vehicle. A rear seat passenger can use
this control panel to personally adjust the
temperature, the direction of the airflow and the
fan speed for the rear seating area.
The fan knob located on the front climate control
panel must be turned to REAR CNTL to allow a rear
seat passenger to use the control panel in the rear
seating area. Performing this action disables the
front control panel. To return control to this panel,
move the fan knob out of REAR CNTL.
Turn the center knob clockwise or
counterclockwise to change the direction of the
airflow in the rear seating area.

To change the current mode, select one of the
following:
H(Vent):Use this mode to direct air to the upper
outlets, with a little air directed to the floor outlets.
2(Floor):Use this mode to direct most of the
air to the floor outlets.
9(Fan):Turn the left knob clockwise or
counterclockwise to HIGH, MED (Medium) or
LOW to increase or decrease the fan speed in the
rear-seating area. Turn the knob to OFF to turn
off the fan.Temperature Control:To increase or decrease
the temperature for the rear of the vehicle, turn the
right knob located on the climate-control panel.
The air-conditioning system on the main climate
control panel must be turned on to direct cooled air
to the rear of the vehicle. If it is not on, then the
temperature in the rear of the vehicle will remain at
cabin temperature.
Be sure to keep the area under the front seats
clear of any objects so that the air inside of your
vehicle can circulate effectively.
For information on how to use the main climate
control system, seeClimate Control System on
page 159. For information on ventilation, seeOutlet
Adjustment on page 162.

Tire Terminology and Denitions
Air Pressure:The amount of air inside the tire
pressing outward on each square inch of the
tire. Air pressure is expressed in pounds
per square inch (psi) or kilopascal (kPa).
Accessory Weight:This means the combined
weight of optional accessories. Some examples of
optional accessories are, automatic
transmission/transaxle, power steering, power
brakes, power windows, power seats, and
air conditioning.
Aspect Ratio:The relationship of a tire’s height
to its width.
Belt:A rubber coated layer of cords that is
located between the plies and the tread. Cords
may be made from steel or other reinforcing
materials.
Bead:The tire bead contains steel wires wrapped
by steel cords that hold the tire onto the rim.Bias Ply Tire:A pneumatic tire in which the plies
are laid at alternate angles less than 90 degrees
to the centerline of the tread.
Cold Tire Pressure:The amount of air pressure in
a tire, measured in pounds per square inch (psi) or
kilopascals (kPa) before a tire has built up heat
from driving. SeeInation - Tire Pressure on
page 348.
Curb Weight:This means the weight of a motor
vehicle with standard and optional equipment
including the maximum capacity of fuel, oil, and
coolant, but without passengers and cargo.
DOT Markings:A code molded into the sidewall
of a tire signifying that the tire is in compliance
with the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT)
motor vehicle safety standards. The DOT code
includes the Tire Identification Number (TIN),
an alphanumeric designator which can also identify
the tire manufacturer, production plant, brand,
and date of production.
