Outside Air Temperature Display
A new outside temperature reading is displayed if
the vehicle has been off for more than three hours.
If the vehicle has been off for less than three hours,
the old temperature reading may be displayed because
underhood heat is affecting the true outside temperature.
Underhood heat can also affect the outside temperature
while the engine is running. It may also take several
minutes of driving before the display updates to
the actual outside temperature.
Automatic Operation
AUTO (Automatic):When automatic operation is
active, the system controls the air delivery mode,
fan speed, and temperature inside the vehicle.
Use the steps below to place the entire system in
automatic mode:
1. Press AUTO.
When AUTO is selected, the air conditioning and air
inlet are automatically controlled. The air conditioning
compressor will run continuously when the outside
temperature is over approximately 40°F (4°C).
The air inlet will normally be set to outside air.
If it is hot outside, the air inlet automatically changes
to recirculate inside air to help quickly cool down
the vehicle.2. Set the driver’s and passenger’s temperature.
To nd your comfort setting, start with a 72°F (22°C)
temperature setting and allow about 20 minutes for
the system to adjust. Turn the driver or passenger
side temperature knob to adjust the temperature
setting as necessary. If a temperature setting of
60°F (15°C) is chosen, the system will remain at the
maximum cooling setting. If a temperature setting of
90°F (32°C) is chosen, the system remains at the
maximum heat setting. Choosing either maximum
setting may not cause the vehicle to heat or cool
any faster.Manual Operation
9(Off):Press to turn off the entire climate control
system. Outside air still enters the vehicle, and will be
directed to the oor. The system turns on by pressing
either AUTO, air delivery mode, fan control, or by
adjusting either temperature knob.
Driver’s Side Temperature Knob:Turn clockwise
or counterclockwise to increase or decrease the
temperature on the driver side of the vehicle.
The display will show the temperature setting
decreasing or increasing and an arrow pointing
toward the driver. This knob can also adjust the
passenger side temperature setting if the two
are linked.
3-23

Passenger Side Temperature Knob:Turn clockwise
or counterclockwise to increase or decrease the
temperature on the passenger side of the vehicle. The
display will show the temperature setting decreasing or
increasing and an arrow pointing toward the passenger.
The passenger temperature setting can be set to match
and link to the driver’s temperature setting by pressing
and holding the AUTO button for three seconds. When
adjusting the driver side temperature setting, the
passenger side temperature setting will follow and both
arrows will appear on the display. The passenger side
temperature setting also resets and re-links to the driver
side temperature setting if the vehicle has been off for
more than three hours.
w9x(Fan Control):Press the arrows to increase
or decrease the fan speed. The display shows the
selected fan speed and the driver side temperature
setting for ve seconds.
C(Air Delivery Mode Control):Press to change the
direction of the airow in the vehicle. The air delivery
modes will appear on the display as it is being adjusted.
The display shows the selected air delivery mode and
the driver temperature setting for ve seconds.To change the current air delivery mode, select one of
the following:
H(Vent):Air is directed to the instrument panel
outlets.
)(Bi-Level):Air is divided between the instrument
panel and oor outlets. Some air is directed toward
the windshield and side window outlets. Cooler air is
directed to the upper outlets and warmer air to the
oor outlets.
6(Floor):Air is directed to the oor outlets. Some
air also comes out of the defroster and side window
outlets. The recirculation button cannot be selected
in oor mode.
-(Defog):This mode clears the windows of fog or
moisture. Air is directed to the oor and windshield
outlets.
0(Front Defrost):Press the front defrost button
to clear the windows of fog or frost more quickly. The
system automatically controls the fan speed if defrost is
selected from AUTO mode. If the outside temperature is
40°F (4°C) or warmer, the air conditioning compressor
runs automatically to help dehumidify the air and dry the
windshield.
Do not drive the vehicle until all the windows are clear.
3-24

#A/C (Air Conditioning):Press to turn the air
conditioning system on or off. When the system is on,
the system automatically begins to cool and dehumidify
the air inside of the vehicle. The air conditioning symbol
appears on the display when the air conditioning is on
and turns off when the air conditioning is off.
If the air conditioning is turned off while in front defrost
or defog mode, the air conditioning symbol turns off,
however, the A/C compressor remains on to help
de-humidify the air inside the vehicle. If one of the
other modes is selected, the compressor will then
turn the A/C off until it is selected again or the AUTO
button is pressed.
To avoid fogging the inside glass on rainy and humid
days at a temperature above freezing, press the air
conditioning button to run the A/C compressor. Also it is
best to avoid the use of the recirculation mode except
when maximum air conditioning performance is needed
or for short times to avoid exterior odors.
You may notice a slight change in engine performance
when the air-conditioning compressor shuts off and turns
on again. This is normal.@(Recirculation):Press to turn the recirculation
mode on or off. An indicator light comes on to show
that recirculation is on. This mode recirculates and
helps to quickly cool the air inside the vehicle. It can
be used to help prevent outside air and odors from
entering the vehicle. Recirculation mode can be used
with vent and bi-level modes, but it cannot be used
with oor, defog or defrost modes.
If recirculation mode is selected with oor, defog,
or defrost modes, the indicator ashes three times
and turns off to indicate the selection is not available.
The air conditioning compressor may also run while
in recirculation mode. This is normal and helps to
prevent window fogging.
If the weather is cold and damp, the system may cause
the windows to fog while using recirculation mode.
If the windows do start to fog, select defog or defrost
mode and increase fan speed.
Recirculation mode, if selected, will be cleared when the
engine is turned off.
