Tune/Scroll Knob
In the List mode, the Tune/Scroll knob functions in a
similar manner as the scroll wheel on the iPod.
Turning the Tune/Scroll knob clockwise (forward) and
counterclockwise (backward) scrolls through lists, dis-
playing the track detail on the radio display. Once you
have the track to be played highlighted on the radio
display, press the Tune/Scroll knob to select and start
playing the track. By turning the Tune/Scroll knob fast,
you can jump through the list faster. During fast scroll,
you may notice a slight delay in updating the informa-
tion on the radio display.
During all List modes, the iPod will display all lists in
“wrap-around” mode. So if the track you wish to select is
at the bottom of the list, you just turn the Tune/Scroll
knob backward (counterclockwise) to get to the track
faster. Radio Preset Buttons
In the List mode, the radio preset buttons are used as
shortcuts to the following lists on the iPod
device.
•1 – Playlists
•2 – Artists
•3 – Albums
•4 – Genres
•5 - Audiobooks
•6 – Podcasts
After pressing a preset button, you will see the list you
are in on the top line and the first item in that list on the
second line.
To exit the List mode without selecting a track, press the
same preset button again to go back to Play mode.

wiping from center to edge.
3. Do not apply paper, paper CD labels, or tape to the
disc; avoid scratching a disc.
4. Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, cleaners,
or antistatic sprays.5. Store a disc in its case after playing.
6. Do not expose a disc to direct sunlight.
7. Do not store a disc where temperatures may become
too high.
8. Do not play discs that are small in size or have
irregular shapes.
RADIO OPERATION AND CELLULAR PHONES
Under certain conditions, the cellular phone being on in
your vehicle can cause erratic or noisy performance from
your radio. This condition may be lessened or eliminated
by relocating the cellular phone antenna. This condition
is not harmful to the radio. If your radio performance
does not satisfactorily “clear” by the repositioning of the
antenna, it is recommended that the radio volume be
turned down or off during cellular phone operation.

CLIMATE CONTROLS
The air conditioning and heating system is designed to
make you comfortable in all types of weather. For infor-
mation about basic climate control functions, refer to
“General Climate Control Functions — All Systems.” For
more detailed information about the climate controls in
your vehicle, refer to “Single-Zone Manual Air Condi-
tioning and Heating System,” “Two- and Three-Zone
Manual Air Conditioning and Heating Systems,” or
“Two- and Three-Zone Automatic Temperature Control
(ATC) Systems.”
General Climate Control Functions — All Systems
Blower Control
Use this control to regulate the amount of air forced
through the ventilation system in any mode.
Temperature Control
Use this control to regulate the temperature of the air
inside the cabin.
Air Conditioning (A/C) Control
Use this control to engage and disengage the A/C.
NOTE:
•The A/C compressor will not engage until the engine
has been running for about 10 seconds.
•If A/C performance seems lower than expected, check
the front of the A/C condenser (located in front of the
radiator) for an accumulation of dirt or insects. Clean
with a gentle water spray from behind the radiator
and through the condenser. Fabric front fascia protec-
tors may reduce airflow to the condenser, reducing air
conditioning performance.
Mode Control (Air Direction)
Use these controls to choose from several patterns of air
distribution.

•PanelAir is directed through the outlets in the instrument
panel. For vehicles equipped with a three-zone sys-
tem, air is also directed through the outlets in the
headliner, unless the climate control for the rear passen-
gers is ON and in Floor mode.
NOTE: These outlets are adjustable to direct airflow. For
maximum airflow to the rear, aim the center instrument
panel outlets so that they are directed toward the rear
seat passengers.

is a difference in temperature between the upper and lower outlets. The warmer air flows to the floor outlets.
This feature gives improved comfort during sunny but
cool conditions.
•Floor
Air is directed through the floor outlets with a
small amount flowing through the defrost and side
window demist outlets. For vehicles equipped with a
three-zone system, air is directed through the floor outlet
in the right quarter trim panel, unless the climate control
for the rear passengers is ON and in Panel mode.
