2. Set the driver’s and passenger’s temperature.
To nd your comfort setting, start with a 74°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
will remain at the maximum cooling setting. If you
choose the temperature setting of 90°F (32°C),
the system will remain at the maximum heat setting.
Choosing either maximum setting will not cause
the vehicle to heat or cool any faster.
Be careful not to 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 headlamps. For more information
on the solar sensor, see “Sensors” later in this section.To avoid blowing cold air in cold weather, the system
will delay turning on the fan until warm air is available.
The length of delay depends on the engine coolant
temperature. Pressing the fan switch will 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 will still enter the vehicle,
and will be directed to the oor. This direction can
be changed by pressing the mode button. Recirculation
can be selected once you have selected 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 will illuminate briey to show
you the settings and then return 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.

Manual Operation
The air delivery mode or fan speed can be manually
adjusted using these buttons:
DC(Fan):Use the fan buttons to manually adjust the
fan speed. To increase or decrease the airow,
press the
DorCbutton.
Pressing one of these buttons when the system is off
will turn the system on. Pressing one of these buttons
when in automatic control will place the fan under
manual control. The fan setting remains displayed,
AUTO is no longer displayed, and the AUTO button
indicator light turns off. The air delivery mode will
remain under automatic control.
HG(Mode):Use the mode buttons to manually
change the direction of the airow in the vehicle.
Repeatedly press the
HorGbutton until the desired
mode appears on the display. Pressing one of these
buttons when the system is off will change air delivery
mode without turning the system on. Pressing one
of these buttons when in automatic control will place
the mode under manual control.
The air delivery mode setting remains displayed,
AUTO is no longer displayed, and the AUTO button
indicator light turns off.
H(Vent):This setting will deliver air to the instrument
panel outlets.
)(Bi-Level):This mode directs half of the air to
the instrument panel outlets and the oor outlets.
The ow can be divided between vent and oor outlets
depending upon where the knob is placed between
the settings. A little air is directed towards the windshield
and side window 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 of the air directed to the windshield,
side window outlets, and second row oor outlets. In this
mode, the system automatically selects outside air.
-(Defog):See “Defogging and Defrosting” later in
this section.
@(Recirculation):Press this button to turn the
recirculation mode on. When the button is pressed,
an indicator light will come on.
This mode keeps outside air from entering the vehicle.
It can be used to reduce outside air and prevent
odors from entering the vehicle. Recirculation may also
help cool the air inside the vehicle more quickly once
the temperature inside the vehicle is less than the
outside temperature.

Outlet Adjustment
Your vehicle has air outlets that let you adjust the
direction and amount of airow inside the vehicle.
Use the thumbwheels located beside the air outlets to
direct the airow up and down. Use the thumbwheels
below the air outlets to direct the air left or right.
Operation Tips

Keep the hood and front air inlets free of ice,
snow, or any other obstruction, such as leaves.
The heater and defroster will work far better,
reducing the chance of fogging the inside of
the windows.
Keep the air path under the front seats clear of
objects. This helps air to circulate throughout
the vehicle.
Adding outside equipment to the front of the
vehicle, such as hood-air deectors, etc., may affect
the performance of the heating and air conditioning
system. Check with your dealer/retailer before
adding equipment to the outside of your vehicle.
Rear Air Conditioning and
Heating System and Electronic
Climate Controls
If your vehicle has this rear climate control system
there are rear seat audio controls located in the
center console.
The rear system can be controlled through the AUX
button on the front climate control panel. Press the
AUX button to turn the rear climate control system
on or off. An indicator light in the AUX button comes
on when the rear climate control system is on. The
direction, temperature, and speed of the airow for
the rear of the vehicle will be the same as those set
for the front of the vehicle.
Use the controls located in the rear of the front console,
to independently control the air ow for the rear of
the vehicle separately from that of the front of the
vehicle. To turn the system on, press any of the rear
air conditioning control buttons, except the
Cbutton.
To turn the system off, press and hold the
Cbutton.
