4. Rear Mode Control
Turn to select Panel, Bi-Level, or Floor for the mode of
rear cabin air distribution.
Automatic Operation — Two- and Three-Zone ATC
The Two- and Three-Zone ATC systems automatically
maintain the climate in the cabin of the vehicle. To
accomplish this, the system gathers information from the
climate controls, from a dual sun-sensor located in the
top of the instrument panel, from an infrared sensor
located between the sun visors, and from various sensors
located throughout the vehicle.
•The climate controls provide the system with operator
input.
•The dual sun-sensor monitors sun load coming
through the windshield.
•The infrared sensor independently measures the sur-
face temperature of the driver and passengers.
•Other sensors take into account vehicle-speed, A/C
pressure, outside temperature, and engine cooling
temperature.
Using all of these inputs, the system automatically ad-
justs airflow temperature, airflow distribution, airflow
volume, and the amount of outside air recirculation. This
maintains a comfortable temperature even under chang-
ing conditions.
To select automatic operation, perform the following
steps:
1. Press and release the AUTO button and the ATC
displays the word “AUTO,” along with current settings
for temperature, mode, and blower speed. It also displays
the snowflake icon if the A/C is running.
2. Turn the Left Front Temperature Control, the Right
Front, and if so equipped, the Rear Temperature Control
to dial in the temperature that you want the system to

AutoStickOperation
By placing the shift lever one shift-level below the DRIVE
position, it can be moved from side to side. This allows
the driver to select a higher or lower range of gears.
Moving the shift lever to the Left (-) triggers a downshift
and to the Right (+) an upshift. The gear position will
display in the instrument cluster on the transaxle range
indicator.
NOTE:In Autostick mode, the transaxle will only shift
up or down when the driver moves the shift lever to the
Right (+) or Left (-).
AutoStick is deactivated when the shift lever is moved
out of the AutoStick (+/-) position.
AutoStick General Information
•
You can start out in 1st or 2nd gear. The system will
ignore attempts to upshift at too low of a vehicle
speed.
•If a ratio other than 1st is selected, and the vehicle is
brought to a stop, the transaxle control logic will
automatically select the 1st gear ratio.
•Starting out in 2nd gear is helpful in snow or icy
conditions.
•Avoid using speed control when Autostick is en-
gaged.
•The transaxle will automatically shift up when maxi-
mum engine speed is reached while Autostick is
engaged.
•Transaxle shifting will be more noticeable when
Autostick is engaged.
318 STARTING AND OPERATING

5. Once you repair or replace the original road tire and
reinstall it on the vehicle in place of the compact spare,
the TPMS will update automatically and the TPMS
Telltale light will turn off, as long as no tire pressure is
below the low-pressure warning limit in any of the four
active road tires. The vehicle may need to be driven for
up to 10 minutes above 15 mph (25 km/h) in order for the
TPMS to receive this information.
Premium System — If Equipped
The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) uses wireless
technology with wheel rim mounted electronic sensors to
monitor tire pressure levels. Sensors, mounted to each
wheel as part of the valve stem, transmit tire pressure
readings to the receiver module.
NOTE:It is particularly important for you to check the
tire pressure in all of the tires on your vehicle monthly
and to maintain the proper pressure. The TPMS consists of the following components:
•Receiver module
•Four Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensors
•Three Trigger modules (mounted in three of the four
wheel-wells)
•Various Tire Pressure Monitoring System messages,
which display in the Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC)
•Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale light
Tire Pressure Monitoring Low Pressure Warnings
The Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale light will
illuminate in the instrument cluster and a chime
will sound when tire pressure is low in one or
more of the four active road tires. In addition, the
360 STARTING AND OPERATING

Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) will display
a graphic showing the pressure values of each tire with
the low tire pressure values flashing.
Should this occur, you should stop as soon as possible
and inflate the tires with low pressure (those flashing in
the EVIC graphic) to the vehicle’s recommended cold
placard pressure value. Once the system receives theupdated tire pressures, the system will automatically
update, the graphic display in the EVIC will stop flash-
ing, and the Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale light will
turn off. The vehicle may need to be driven for up to 10
minutes above 15 mph (25 km/h) in order for the TPMS
to receive this information.
Check TPMS Warning
When a system fault is detected, the Tire Pressure Moni-
toring Telltale light will flash on and off for 75 seconds
and then remain on solid. The system fault will also
sound a chime. In addition, the EVIC will display a
CHECK TPM SYSTEM
message for three seconds and
then display dashes (- -) in place of the pressure value to
indicate which sensor is not being received.

If the ignition key is cycled, this sequence will repeat,
providing the system fault still exists. If the system fault
no longer exists, the Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale
light will no longer flash, and theCHECK TPM SYS-
TEM message will no longer display, and a pressure
value will display in place of the dashes. A system fault
can occur due to any of the following: 1. Jamming due to electronic devices or driving next to
facilities emitting the same radio frequencies as the TPMS
sensors.
2. Installing some form of aftermarket window tinting
that affects radio wave signals.
3. Lots of snow or ice around the wheels or wheel
housings.
4. Using tire chains on the vehicle.
5. Using wheels/tires not equipped with TPMS sensors.
NOTE:
1. The compact spare tire does not have a tire pressure
monitoring sensor. Therefore, the TPMS will not monitor
the pressure in the compact spare tire.
2. If you install the compact spare tire in place of a road
tire that has a pressure below the low-pressure warning
limit, upon the next ignition key cycle, the TPMS Telltale
362 STARTING AND OPERATING

light will remain on and a chime will sound. In addition,
the graphic in the EVIC will still display a flashing
pressure value.
3. After driving the vehicle for up to 10 minutes above 15
mph (25 km/h), the TPMS Telltale light will flash on and
off for 75 seconds and then remain on solid. In addition,
the EVIC will display aCHECK TPM SYSTEM message
for three seconds and then display dashes (- -) in place of
the pressure value.
4. For each subsequent ignition key cycle, a chime will
sound, the TPMS Telltale light will flash on and off for 75
seconds and then remain on solid, and the EVIC will
display a CHECK TPM SYSTEM message for three
seconds and then display dashes (- -) in place of the
pressure value.
5. Once you repair or replace the original road tire and
reinstall it on the vehicle in place of the compact spare,
the TPMS will update automatically. In addition, the TPMS Telltale light will turn off and the graphic in the
EVIC will display a new pressure value instead of dashes
(- -), as long as no tire pressure is below the low-pressure
warning limit in any of the four active road tires. The
vehicle may need to be driven for up to 10 minutes above
15 mph (25 km/h) in order for the TPMS to receive this
information.

Along with the special E-85 fuel filler cap, your vehicle
may display a badge, which also indicates it can operate
on E-85.ETHANOL FUEL (E-85)
E-85 is a mixture of approximately 85% fuel ethanol and
15% unleaded gasoline.
WARNING!
Ethanol vapors are extremely flammable and could
cause serious personal injury. Never have any smok-
ing materials lit in or near the vehicle when remov-
ing the fuel filler tube cap (gas cap) or filling the
tank. Do not use E-85 as a cleaning agent and never
use it near an open flame.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
If your vehicle is E-85 compatible, it will operate on
unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87, or E-85
fuel, or any mixture of these two fuels.E-85 Badge
