Automatic Operation
This climate control system
automatically maintains the desired
temperature inside the vehicle.
Do not cover the sensor located on
the top of the instrument panel
near the windshield or the sensor
grille below the climate control
faceplate. These two sensors help
regulate the inside air temperature.
AUTO (Automatic Fan):Turn
the fan knob to AUTO for the system
to automatically adjust the fan
speed to reach the desired inside
temperature.
Temperature Control:Select the
desired air temperature between
60-90°F (16-32°C). Typically,
the best setting is near 75°F (23°C).
Choosing the coldest or warmest
temperature setting does not cause
the system to heat or cool any
faster.AUTO (Automatic Air Delivery
Mode):Turn the air delivery mode
knob to AUTO for the system to
automatically control the direction of
the airow to help reach the
desired inside temperature.
The system automatically controls
the air inlet to supply the outside air
or recirculated inside air needed
to cool the vehicle faster. The
indicator light on the recirculation
button will be lit whenever the
system changes to recirculation.
Press the recirculation button
to change to outside air. However,
the recirculation mode may turn
back on automatically.
In cold weather, if the fan and air
delivery modes are in automatic, the
system starts at lower fan speeds
to avoid directing cold air into
the vehicle until warmer air is
available. The climate control
system directs air to the oor, but
may automatically change modes as
the vehicle warms up to maintain
the chosen temperature setting.The length of time needed to warm
the interior depends on the
outside temperature and inside
temperature of the vehicle.
Manual Operation
It is best to use the automatic
settings to maximize fuel economy.
A(Fan Control):Turn clockwise
or counterclockwise to increase
or decrease the fan speed. To turn
the fan off, turn the left knob to
the
9position. In any setting other
than off, the fan runs continuously
with the ignition on. The fan must be
turned on to run the air conditioning
compressor. There will be some
airow noticeable from the various
outlets when driving, even with
the fan in the off position. This is to
ensure some fresh air is always
available in the vehicle. To turn off
the air completely, turn the fan
to
9and select the recirculation
button.

Temperature Control:Turn
clockwise or counterclockwise to
increase or decrease the
temperature. Typically, the best
setting is near 75°F (23°C).
Choosing the coldest or warmest
temperature setting does not cause
the system to heat or cool any faster.
Air Delivery Mode Control:Turn
clockwise or counterclockwise
to change the direction of the
airow inside the vehicle.
Select from the following air delivery
modes:
H(Vent):Air is directed to the
instrument panel outlets.
)(Bi-Level):Air is divided
between the instrument panel and
the oor outlets.
6(Floor):Air is directed to the
oor outlets with some air directed to
the windshield. When this mode is
selected, the system turns the
recirculation mode off. Recirculation
mode cannot be selected while
in oor mode. This is to help prevent
window fogging.
-(Defog):This mode clears the
windows of fog or moisture. Air
is directed to the oor outlets, with
some air directed to the windshield
and side window outlets. In this
mode, the system turns the
recirculation mode off and runs the
air conditioning compressor
unless the outside air is at or below
freezing. Recirculation mode
cannot be selected while in defog
mode. This helps prevent window
fogging.
0(Defrost):This mode removes
fog or frost from the windshield
more quickly. Air is directed to the
windshield, with some air directed to
the side window outlets and the
oor outlets. In this mode, the
system turns the recirculation mode
off automatically and runs the air
conditioning compressor unless the
outside air is at or below freezing.
The recirculation mode cannot
be selected while in defrost mode.
This helps prevent window
fogging and moisture building up
inside the vehicle. In this mode, the
climate control system prevents
all automatic engine start/stop
operations. This ensures the best
defrost performance.
For best results, clear all snow and
ice from the windshield before
defrosting.

Try to adjust the speed so you can
drive through the curve. Maintain
a reasonable, steady speed. Wait to
accelerate until out of the curve,
and then accelerate gently into the
straightaway.
Steering in Emergencies
There are times when steering can
be more effective than braking. For
example, you come over a hill and
nd a truck stopped in your lane, or a
car suddenly pulls out from nowhere,
or a child darts out from between
parked cars and stops right in front of
you. These problems can be avoided
by braking — if you can stop in time.
But sometimes you cannot stop in
time because there is no room.
That is the time for evasive
action — steering around the
problem.
The vehicle can perform very well
in emergencies like these. First apply
the brakes. SeeBraking on
page 4-5. It is better to remove
as much speed as possible from acollision. Then steer around the
problem, to the left or right
depending on the space available.
An emergency like this requires
close attention and a quick decision.
If holding the steering wheel at
the recommended 9 and 3 o’clock
positions, it can be turned a full
180 degrees very quickly without
removing either hand. But you have
to act fast, steer quickly, and just
as quickly straighten the wheel once
you have avoided the object.The fact that such emergency
situations are always possible is a
good reason to practice defensive
driving at all times and wear
safety belts properly.
Off-Road Recovery
The vehicle’s right wheels can drop
off the edge of a road onto the
shoulder while driving.
If the level of the shoulder is only
slightly below the pavement,
recovery should be fairly easy.
