-(Defog):This mode clears the
windows of fog or moisture. Air is
directed to the windshield, oor
outlets, and side window vents.
When this mode is selected, the
system turns off recirculation and
runs the air conditioning unless the
outside temperature is less than
40°F (4°C). Recirculation cannot be
selected while in the defog mode.
Do not drive the vehicle until all the
windows are clear.
0(Defrost):This mode quickly
clears the windshield of fog or frost.
Air is directed to the windshield
and side window vents, with some
to the oor vents. In this mode,
outside air is pulled inside the
vehicle. Recirculation cannot be
selected while in the defrost mode.
The air conditioning system runs

the outside temperature is less
than 40°F (4°C). Do not drive
the vehicle until all the windows
are clear.
#(Air Conditioning):Press to
turn the air conditioning system on
or off. An indicator light comes on
when A/C is on. The air conditioning
system does not operate when
the outside temperature is below
40°F (4°C). The indicator light
ashes three times and turns off
when outside conditions affect
air conditioning operation.
This is normal.For quicker cool down on hot days:
1. Open the windows to let hot
air escape.
2. Select
Hmode.
3. Select
#.
4. Select the coolest temperature.
5. Select the highest fan speed.
6. Close the windows after the hot
air has escaped.
7. Once the vehicle’s interior
temperature is below the outside
temperature, select
@mode
for faster cooling.
Using recirculation for long periods
of time could cause the air inside
of the vehicle to become too dry.
To prevent this from happening, after
the inside of the vehicle has cooled,
turn the recirculation mode off.

Compass Calibration
The compass can be manually
calibrated. Only calibrate the
compass in a magnetically clean
and safe location, such as an
open parking lot, where driving
the vehicle in circles is not a danger.
It is suggested to calibrate away
from tall buildings, utility wires,
manhole covers, or other industrial
structures, if possible.
If CAL should ever appear in the
DIC display, the compass should
be calibrated.
If the DIC display does not show a
heading, for example, N for North,
or the heading does not change after
making turns, there may be a strong
magnetic eld interfering with the
compass.Such interference may be caused by
a magnetic CB or cell phone antenna
mount, a magnetic emergency light,
magnetic note pad holder, or any
other magnetic item. Turn off the
vehicle, move the magnetic item,
then turn on the vehicle and calibrate
the compass.
To calibrate the compass, use the
following procedure:
Compass Calibration Procedure
1. Before calibrating the compass,
make sure the compass zone
is set to the variance zone in
which the vehicle is located.
See “Compass Variance (Zone)
Procedure” earlier in this section.
Do not operate any switches
such as window, sunroof, climate
controls, seats, etc. during the
calibration procedure.2. Press the vehicle information
button until PRESS
VTO
CALIBRATE COMPASS
displays.
3. Press the set/reset button to start
the compass calibration.
4. The DIC will display
CALIBRATING: DRIVE IN
CIRCLES. Drive the vehicle
in tight circles at less than
5 mph (8 km/h) to complete the
calibration. The DIC will display
CALIBRATION COMPLETE for a
few seconds when the calibration
is complete. The DIC display will
then return to the previous menu.

section. Objects blocking the line of
sight could also affect the function of
the remote control.If a CD or DVD is in the Radio DVD
slot, the remote controlObutton can
be used to turn on the video screen
display and start the disc. The radio
can also turn on the video screen
display. SeeRadio(s) on page 3-75
for more information.
Notice:Storing the remote
control in a hot area or in direct
sunlight can damage it, and
the repairs will not be covered by
