the indicator light ashes three times
and the air conditioning stays on.
For quick cool down on hot days,
open the windows to let the hot air to
escape. After a few minutes, close
the windows so the system will work
more effectively.
The air conditioning system removes
moisture from the air, so a small
amount of water might drip under the
vehicle while idling or after turning off
the engine. This is normal.The air conditioning might
automatically turn off during heavy
acceleration or towing with your
vehicle, but the
#will still display.
Recirculation
/(Recirculation):Press to
change the air intake between
recirculated air and outside air.
An indicator light comes when
the recirculation is activated.
The recirculation mode recycles
interior air and is not recommended
for extended use. If it is used for
a long period of time, the system
automatically lets some fresh air into
the vehicle for ventilation.
Do not use the recirculation mode
if occupants are smoking.The recirculation mode cannot
be turned on in defrost mode.
If
/is pressed, the indicator light
ashes three times and recirculation
stays off.

Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a
warming grid to remove fog or
frost from the rear window. It only
works when the ignition is in
ON/RUN.
The rear window defogger will

or damage the warming grid, and
the repairs would not be covered
by the vehicle warranty. Do not
attach a temporary vehicle
license, tape, a decal or anything
similar to the defogger grid.
EXT TEMP
EXT TEMP (Exterior Temperature):
Press EXT TEMP to show the
temperature outside the vehicle or
the normal display.
Pressing any other climate control
button will change the display from
showing the outside temperature to
showing the normal display.
The units for the EXT TEMP can be
displayed in °F or °C. SeeDIC
Vehicle Customization on page 4-31.
Sensors
The climate control system uses
three different sensors to maintain
the desired temperature. The
solar sensor is located on the
instrument panel, near the
windshield. The interior temperature
sensor is located on the instrument
panel near the steering wheel
and the outside temperature sensor
is in front of the radiator.By monitoring the solar radiation,
the air inside the vehicle and
air moving across the outside
sensor, the selected temperature
can be maintained while using
the AUTO mode by adjusting the
temperature, fan speed, and
air delivery system. The system
may also supply cooler air to
the side of the vehicle facing the
sun. The recirculation mode will
also be activated, as necessary.
Do not cover the sensors or
the automatic climate control
system will not work properly.Remote Start Climate Control
Operation
For vehicles with the remote start
feature and it is activated, the climate
control system will automatically set
the temperature to 73°F (23°C).
When the ignition is turned to
ON/RUN the climate control system
heats and cools the inside of the
vehicle using the modes that
were set before the vehicle was
turned off.
7-8 Climate Controls

A (LOCK/OFF):This is the only
position from which you can remove
the key. This locks the steering
wheel, ignition and automatic
transmission.
On vehicles with an automatic
transmission, the shift lever must
be in P (Park) to turn the ignition
switch to the LOCK/OFF position.
The ignition switch can bind in
the LOCK/OFF position with the
wheels turned off center. If this
happens, move the steering wheel
from right to left while turning the key
to ACC/ACCESSORY. If this doesn’t
work, then the vehicle needs service.
B (ACC/ACCESSORY):This
position provides power to some
of the electrical accessories.
It unlocks the steering wheel and
ignition. The transmission is
also unlocked in this position
on automatic transmission
vehicles. To move the key from
ACC/ACCESSORY to LOCK/OFF,
push in the key and then turn it
to LOCK/OFF.C (ON/RUN):The ignition switch
stays in this position when the
engine is running. This position can
be used to operate the electrical
accessories, including the ventilation
fan and 12 volt power outlet, as
well as to display some warning and
indicator lights.
The battery could be drained
if you leave the key in the
ACC/ACCESSORY or ON/RUN
position with the engine off.
You may not be able to start the
vehicle if the battery is allowed
to drain for an extended period
of time.
D (START):This position starts the
engine. When the engine starts,
release the key. The ignition switch
will return to ON/RUN for normal
driving.
A warning tone will sound when the
driver door is opened when the
ignition is still in ACC/ACCESSORY
and the key is in the ignition.Retained Accessory
Power (RAP)
These vehicle accessories may be
used for up to 10 minutes after
the engine is turned off:
