. Recirculated air
may turn off automatically in all airflow selections.
Operating tips
•To reduce fog build up on the windshield during humid weather, place
the air flow selector in the
position.
•To reduce humidity build up inside the vehicle: do not drive with the
system off or with recirculated air
engaged.
•Under normal weather conditions, do not leave the air flow selector in
A/C and recirculated air
or with the system off when the
vehicle is parked. This allows the vehicle to “breathe” using the
outside air inlet vents.
•To improve the A/C cool down, drive with the windows slightly open
for 2-3 minutes after start up or until the vehicle has been “aired out”.
•During extreme high ambient temperatures when idling stationary for
extended periods of time in gear, it is recommended to run the A/C
with recirculation mode
selected, turn off the rear A/C unit, reduce
blower fan speed from the highest setting and put the vehicle’s
transmission into the P (Park) position to continue to receive cool air
from your A/C system.

In Manual Override: Press the
(panel), A/C, and recirculated
air
, set the temperature to 60°F (16°C) and the fan to the highest
blower setting.
•Do not put objects under the front seats that will interfere with the
airflow to the back seats.
•Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of
the windshield.
To aid in side window defogging/demisting in cold weather:
1. Select
.
2. Select A/C.
3. Adjust the temperature control to maintain comfort.
4. Set the fan speed to the highest setting.
5. Direct the outer instrument panel vents towards the side windows.
To increase airflow to the outer instrument panel vents, close the vents
located in the middle of the instrument panel.

Note:Do not use the running boards, front and rear hinge assemblies,
running board motors, or the running board under body mounts to lift
the vehicle when jacking. Please utilize proper jacking points. Refer to
Changing the tiresin theRoadside Emergencieschapter.
WARNING:In extreme climates, excessive ice buildup may
occur, causing the running boards not to deploy. Be sure that the
running boards have deployed, and have finished moving before
attempting to step on them. Note: The running boards will resume
normal function once the blockage is cleared.
WARNING:Turn off the running boards before jacking or
placing any object under the vehicle. Never place your hand
between the extended running board and the vehicle. A moving
running board may cause injury.
SPEED CONTROL
With speed control set, you can maintain a set speed without keeping
your foot on the accelerator pedal.
WARNING:Do not use the speed control in heavy traffic or on
roads that are winding, slippery or unpaved.

Memory seat/power mirrors/adjustable pedals (if equipped)
This system allows automatic
positioning of the driver seat,
outside rearview mirrors and
adjustable pedals to two
programmable positions.
The memory seat control is located
on the outboard side of the seat cushion.
•To program position one, move the driver seat, exterior mirrors and
adjustable pedals to the desired positions using the associated
controls. Press and hold control button 1 for at least two seconds.
•To program position two, repeat the previous procedure using control
button 2.
A position can only be recalled when the transmission gearshift is in Park
(automatic transmission). A memory seat position may be programmed
at any time.
The memory seat positions are also recalled when you press your remote
entry transmitter
(unlock) control and the transmitter is
programmed to a memory seat position or when you enter a valid
customer code 1 or 2 on the keypad.
To program the memory seat to remote entry transmitter, refer to
Remote entry systemin theLocks and Security chapter.
Note: The seat will not travel to its final position if the key is not
in the ignition and the easy entry feature is enabled.
Climate controlled seats (if equipped)
Note:It is recommended for optimal performance that the vehicle air
conditioning system be run in the same mode (either heating or cooling)
as the climate control seat system. During start up of the climate control
seat system, a slight difference in seat surface temperature may be
perceived between the seat cushion and seat back until the cabin and
seat temperatures stabilize. If the vehicle air conditioning system is run
in floor mode, the effect may be more pronounced. Switching between
seat heat and seat cool modes in alternate succession will delay the time
it takes for the seat temperatures (back and cushion) to stabilize.
The controls for the climate controlled seats are located on the dual
electronic automatic temperature control (DEATC) system.
