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

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.
#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.

Speedometer and Odometer
The speedometer the vehicle speed in both miles per
hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (km/h).
The odometer shows how far the vehicle has been
driven, in either miles (used in the United States)
or kilometers (used in Canada).
The odometer mileage can be checked without the
vehicle running. Press the trip stem located on
the instrument panel cluster.
If the vehicle needs a new odometer installed, the new
one will be set to the correct mileage total of the old
odometer.
Trip Odometer
The trip odometer can tell you how far your vehicle has
been driven since you last set the trip odometer to zero.
The odometer works together with the Driver Information
Center (DIC). You can set a Trip A and Trip B odometer.
See “Trip Information” underDIC Operation and Displays
on page 3-48.
The odometer mileage can be checked without the
vehicle running. Press the trip stem on the instrument
panel cluster.
Tachometer
The tachometer
displays the engine
speed in revolutions
per minute (rpm).

Voltmeter Gage
When your engine is not
running, but the ignition is
on, this gage displays
the battery voltage in
DC volts.
When the engine is running, the gage shows the
condition of the charging system. The gage may
transition from a higher to lower or a lower to higher
reading. This is normal. Readings between the low and
high warning zones indicate the normal operating range.
The voltmeter gage may also read lower when in fuel
economy mode. This is normal.Readings in the low warning zone may occur when a
large number of electrical accessories are operating
in the vehicle and the engine is left idling for an
extended period. This condition is normal since the
charging system is not able to provide full power
at engine idle. As engine speeds are increased, this
condition should correct itself as higher engine speeds
allow the charging system to create maximum power.
You can only drive for a short time with the reading
in either warning zone. If you must drive, turn off
all unnecessary accessories.
Readings in either warning zone indicate a possible
problem in the electrical system. Have the vehicle
serviced as soon as possible.

If your vehicle has this
light, it will come on if your
gas cap is not securely
fastened.
SeeMalfunction Indicator Lamp on page 3-38for more
information.
Driver Information Center (DIC)
Your vehicle may have this feature. The Driver
Information Center (DIC) display is located on the
instrument panel cluster, below the speedometer.
If your vehicle has DIC buttons, they are located on
the steering wheel. The DIC can display information
such as the trip odometer, fuel economy, customization
features, and warning/status messages.
If your vehicle does not have DIC steering wheel
buttons, you will not have all of the features listed.
Scroll through the odometer and trip odometer by
pressing the trip odometer reset stem located on the
instrument panel cluster. Turn off, or acknowledge, DIC
messages by pressing the trip odometer reset stem.
SeeSpeedometer and Odometer on page 3-29for
information on features for vehicles without DIC buttons.

delay the DIC will display the information that was
last displayed before the engine was turned off.
If a problem is detected, a warning message will appear
on the display. Pressing the trip stem will acknowledge
any warning or service messages. Pressing any of
the DIC steering wheel buttons — trip information, fuel
information, customization, or select button — will
also acknowledge any warnings or service messages.
You should take any message that appears on the
display seriously and remember that clearing the
message will only make the message disappear,
not correct the problem.
The DIC has different modes which can be accessed
by pressing the four DIC buttons located on the
steering wheel. These buttons are trip information,
fuel information, customization, and select. The button
functions are detailed in the following pages.
