enough that high-beam
headlamps are not required.
.The vehicle's speed drops below
24 km/h (15 mph).
.The headlamp stalk is moved
forward to the high-beam
position.
When either of these conditions
occur, the IntelliBeam feature
will be disabled and the
IntelliBeam light in the mirror will
turn off until the high-beam stalk
is returned to the neutral
position.
.If IntelliBeam was using
low-beams prior to this action,
the IntelliBeam feature will be
temporarily disabled until the
stalk is returned to the neutral
position.
.The exterior lamp control is
turned to any setting
except AUTO.When this occurs, IntelliBeam
will be disabled until the control
is turned back to the AUTO
position.
.The IntelliBeam system is turned
off at the inside rearview mirror.
IntelliBeam may not turn off the
high-beams if the system cannot
detect other vehicle's lamps
because of any of the following:
.The others vehicle's lamp(s) are
missing, damaged, obstructed
from view or otherwise
undetected.
.The other vehicle's lamp(s) are
covered with dirt, snow and/or
road spray.
.The other vehicle's lamp(s)
cannot be detected due to dense
exhaust, smoke, fog, snow, road
spray, mist or other airborne
obstructions.
.Your vehicle's windshield is dirty,
cracked or obstructed by
something that blocks the view
of the IntelliBeam light sensor.

Global Positioning
System (GPS)
The navigation system determines
the position of the vehicle by using
satellite signals, various vehicle
signals, and map data. At times, other interferences such
as the satellite condition, road
configuration, the condition of the
vehicle and/or other circumstances
can interfere with the navigation
system's ability to determine the
accurate position of the vehicle.
The GPS shows the current position
of the vehicle using signals sent by
the GPS Satellites of the United
States Department of Defense.
When the vehicle is not receiving
signals from the satellites, a symbol
appears on the map screen. Refer
to
Global Positioning System (GPS)
on page 7‑74.
This system may not be available or
interferences may occur if any of the
following are true:
.Signals are obstructed by tall
buildings, trees, large trucks,
or a tunnel.
.Objects are located on the front
dash of the vehicle.
.Satellites are being repaired or
improved.

O(Off): Press the driver side
temperature knob to turn the climate
control system off. Outside air still
enters the vehicle, and is directed to
the floor. This direction can be
changed by pressing the mode
button. The temperature can also be
adjusted using either temperature
knob. Press the up or down arrows
on the fan switch, the defrost button,
the AUTO button, driver side
temperature knob, or the air
conditioning button to turn the
system on when it is off. Driver and Passenger Side
Temperature Knob
The driver and passenger side
temperature knobs are used to
adjust the temperature of the air
coming through the system on the
driver or passenger's side of the
vehicle. The temperature can be
adjusted even if the system is
turned off. This is possible since
outside air always flows through the
system as the vehicle is moving
forward unless it is set to
recirculation mode. See
“Recirculation”
later in this section.
Turn the knob clockwise or
counterclockwise to increase or
decrease the cabin temperature.
The display will show the
temperature setting increasing or
decreasing.
Set the passenger's temperature
setting to match the driver
temperature setting by pressing the
passenger power knob.

When in defrost mode the
passenger temperature setting
cannot be changed.
Automatic Operation
AUTO (Automatic):When
automatic operation is active the
system will control the inside
temperature, the air delivery, and
the fan speed.
Use the steps below to place the
entire system in automatic mode:
1. Press the AUTO button.
When AUTO is selected, the
display will change to show the
current temperature(s) and
AUTO will appear. The current
delivery mode and fan speed will
also be displayed for
approximately five seconds.
When AUTO is selected, the air
conditioning operation and air
inlet will be automatically
controlled. The air conditioning
compressor will run when the
outside temperature is over
about 4°C (40°F). The air inlet will normally be set to outside
air. If it is hot outside, the air
inlet may automatically switch to
recirculate inside air to help
quickly cool down the vehicle.
The light on the button comes on
in recirculation.
2. Set the driver and passenger temperature.
To find your comfort setting, start
with a 23°C (74°F) temperature
setting and allow about
20 minutes for the system to
regulate. Use the driver or
passenger temperature buttons
to adjust the temperature setting
as necessary. If a temperature
setting of 15°C (60°F) is chosen,
the system remains at the
maximum cooling setting. If a
temperature setting of 32°C
(90°F) is chosen, the system
remains at the maximum heat
setting. Choosing either
maximum setting will not cause
the vehicle to heat or cool any
faster. Do not to cover the sensor located
on the top of the instrument panel
near the windshield. This sensor
regulates air temperature based on
sun load and also turns on the
headlamps.
To avoid blowing cold air in cold
weather, the system will delay
turning on the fan until warm air is
available. The length of delay
depends on the engine coolant
temperature. Pressing the fan
switch will override this delay and
change the fan to a selected speed.
Manual Operation
You may manually adjust the air
delivery mode or fan speed.
y 9 z(Fan Control):
Press the
up or down arrows to increase or
decrease the fan speed
Pressing this button when the
system is off will turn the system on.
Pressing either arrow while using
automatic operation will place the
fan in manual operation. The fan

setting will display and the AUTO
light will turn off. The air delivery will
remain in automatic operation.
yNz(Air Delivery Mode
Control): Press to change the
direction of the airflow in the vehicle.
Repeatedly press the button until
the desired mode appears on the
display.
When the system is turned off, the
display goes blank after displaying
the current status of the system.
H(Vent): Air is directed to the
instrument panel outlets.
)(Bi-Level): Air is divided
between the instrument panel and
floor outlets. Some air is directed
towards the windshield and side
window outlets. Cooler air is
directed to the upper vents and
warmer air to the floor vents.
6(Floor): Air is directed to the
floor outlets, with some to the
windshield, side window outlets, and second row floor outlets. In this
mode, the system automatically
selects outside air.
-(Defog):
This mode clears the
windows of fog or moisture. Air is
directed to the windshield, floor
outlets, and side window vents. In
this mode, the system turns off
recirculation and runs the air
conditioning compressor unless the
outside temperature is close to
freezing. The recirculation mode
cannot be selected while in the
defog mode.
0(Defrost): This mode removes
fog or frost from the windshield
more quickly. Air is directed to the
windshield and side window vents,
with some directed to the floor
vents. In this mode, the system
automatically forces outside air into
the vehicle and runs the air
conditioning compressor unless the
outside temperature is close to
freezing. The recirculation mode
cannot be selected while in the
defrost mode. The passenger temperature control
cannot be activated while in defrost
mode. If the passenger control knob
is pressed, the passenger
temperature flashes three times and
will not work. If the passenger
control knob is adjusted, the driver
temperature indicator changes. The
passenger temperature will not be
displayed.
If vent, bi-level, or floor mode is
selected again, the climate control
system displays the previous
temperature settings.
Do not drive the vehicle until all the
windows are clear.
#(Air Conditioning):
Press to
turn the air conditioning (A/C)
compressor on and off. An indicator
light comes on to show that the air
conditioning is on.
Pressing this button when the
outside temperature is too cool for
air conditioning will make the air
conditioning indicator flash three
times and then turn off indicating the
air conditioning mode is not
