On vehicles with navigation system
The climate control system can also
be operated by voice control. See the
Navigation section in your quick
start guide f or an overview of this
system, and the navigation system
manual f or complete details.The automatic climate control
system in your vehicle picks the
proper combination of air
conditioning, heating, and ventilation
to maintain the interior temperature
you select. The system also adjusts
the fan speed and airflow levels.
Press the AUTO button.
Set the desired temperature by
turning the driver’s side
temperature control dial. You will
see AUTO and the selected
temperature in the display. You
can also set the passenger’s side
temperature by turning the
passenger’s side dial.
The system automatically selects the
proper mix of conditioned and/or
heated air that will, as quickly as
possible, raise or lower the interior
temperature to your pref erence. The driver’s side temperature and
the passenger’s side temperature can
be set separately. Turn the dial of
the appropriate temperature control
clockwisetoincreasethe
temperature of airf low. Turn the dial
counterclockwise to decrease it.
Each set temperature is shown in the
display.
When you set the temperature to its
lower limit ( ) or its upper limit
( ), the system runs at f ull
cooling or heating only. It does not
regulate the interior temperature.
When the indicator in the dual
button is on, the driver’s side and
passenger’s side temperature can be
controlled independently (see page
).

The XM satellites are in orbit over
the equator; therefore, objects south
of the vehicle may cause satellite
reception interruptions. To help
compensate f or this, ground-based
repeaters are placed in major
metropolitan areas. Satellite signals are more likely to be
blocked by tall buildings and
mountains the f arther north you
travel f rom the equator. Carrying
large items on a roof rack can also
block the signal.
The selected channel
