Power Outlet 115 Volt Alternating
Current
For vehicles with this power outlet, it can be used to
plug in electrical equipment that uses a maximum limit of
150 watts.
The power outlet is located
on the rear of the center
console.
An indicator light on the outlet turns on to show it is in
use. The light comes on when the ignition is in ON/RUN
and equipment requiring less than 150 watts is plugged
into the outlet, and no system fault is detected.The indicator light does not come on when the ignition
is in LOCK/OFF or if no equipment is plugged into
the outlet.
If equipment is connected using more than 150 watts or
a system fault is detected, a protection circuit shuts
off the power supply and the indicator light turns off.
To reset the circuit, unplug the item and plug it back in
or turn the Remote Accessory Power (RAP) off and
then back on. SeeRetained Accessory Power (RAP) on
page 2-27. The power restarts when equipment using
150 watts or less is plugged into the outlet and a system
fault is not detected.
The power outlet is not designed for the following
electrical equipment and may not work properly if these
items are plugged into the power outlet:
Equipment with high initial peak wattage such as:
compressor-driven refrigerators and electric
power tools.
Other equipment requiring an extremely stable
power supply such as: microcomputer-controlled
electric blankets, touch sensor lamps, etc.

Climate Controls
Climate Control System
With this system you can control the heating, cooling,
defrost, defog, and ventilation of the vehicle.
Manual Operation
9
(Fan):Turn the left knob clockwise or
counterclockwise to increase or decrease the fan speed.
Turn the knob all the way counterclockwise to turn the
front system off.
Temperature Control:Turn the center knob clockwise
or counterclockwise to increase or decrease the
temperature of the air owing from the system.Airow Mode Control:Turn the right knob clockwise
or counterclockwise to direct the airow inside of
the vehicle.
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 about half of the
air to the instrument panel outlets and half to the oor
outlets. 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. Recirculation cannot be selected when in
Floor Mode.
The right knob can also be used to select defog or
defrost mode. For more information, see “Defogging
and Defrosting” later in this section.
By positioning the right knob between two modes,
a combination of those two modes is selected.

Using recirculation for long periods of time may cause
the air inside of the vehicle to become too dry. To
prevent this from happening, after the inside of the
vehicle has cooled, turn the recirculation mode off.
The air conditioning system removes moisture from the
air, so you might notice a small amount of water
dripping underneath the front center and right rear of
the vehicle while idling or after turning off the engine.
This is normal.
Defogging and Defrosting
Fog on the inside of the 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 the windshield. Turn the right knob
clockwise to select the defog or defrost mode.
-(Defog):The defog mode is used to clear the
windows of fog or moisture and warm the passengers.
This mode directs air to the windshield, oor outlets,
and side window vents. When you select this mode,the system turns off recirculation and runs the air
conditioning compressor unless the outside temperature
is less than 40°F (4°C). The recirculation mode
cannot be selected while in the defog mode. Do not
drive the vehicle until all the windows are clear.
0(Defrost):The defrost mode is used to remove fog
or frost from the windshield more quickly. This mode
directs most of the air to the windshield and side window
vents and some to the oor vents. In this mode, the
system will automatically force outside air into your
vehicle. The recirculation mode cannot be selected while
in the defrost mode. The air conditioning compressor
will run automatically in this setting, unless the outside
temperature is less than 40°F (4°C). Do not drive
the vehicle until all the windows are clear.
AUX (Auxiliary):Press this button to turn the rear
heating and air conditioning on. SeeRear Air
Conditioning and Heating System on page 3-34or
Rear Air Conditioning and Heating System and
Electronic Climate Controls on page 3-36.
