MANUAL CLIMATE CONTROL
A.Fan speed control:Controls the volume of air circulated in your
vehicle. Adjust to select the desired fan speed or switch off. If you
switch the fan off, the windshield may fog up.
B.Temperature control:Controls the temperature of the air circulated
in your vehicle. Adjust to select the desired temperature.
C.Air distribution control:Adjust to select the desired air distribution.
•MAX A/C:Select to distribute maximum air conditioning through the
instrument panel air vents. This mode is more economical and efficient
than normal air conditioning.
•NORM A/C:Select to switch the air conditioning on or off. Air
conditioning cools your vehicle using outside air. To improve air
conditioning when starting your vehicle, drive with the windows slightly
open for two to three minutes.
•VENT:Select to distribute air through the instrument panel air vents.
•OFF:Select to turn the system off.
•FLR:Select to distribute air through the footwell vents.
•MIX:Select to distribute air through the instrument panel and footwell
air vents.
Select to distribute air through the windshield air vents. You
can also use this setting to defog and clear the windshield of a
thin covering of ice. You can also increase the temperature and
fan speed to improve clearing.

If you drive in extremely hot climates:
•It is still necessary to maintain the coolant concentration above 40%.
•NEVER decrease the coolant concentration below 40%.
•A coolant concentration of 40% will provide improved overheat
protection. Engine coolant concentrations below 40% will decrease the
corrosion/freeze protection characteristics of the engine coolant and
may cause engine damage.
•If available, refer to the chart on the coolant container to make sure
the coolant concentration in your vehicle will provide adequate
protection at the temperatures in which you drive.
Vehicles driven year-round in non-extreme climates should use a 50/50
mixture of engine coolant and distilled water for optimum cooling system
and engine protection.
What You Should Know About Fail-Safe Cooling
If the engine coolant supply is depleted, this feature allows the vehicle to be
driven temporarily before incremental component damage is incurred. The
fail-safe distance depends on ambient temperatures, vehicle load and terrain.
How Fail-Safe Cooling Works
If the engine begins to overheat, the engine coolant temperature gauge
will move to the red (hot) area and:
The coolant temperature warning light will illuminate.
The service engine soon indicator will illuminate.
If the engine reaches a preset over-temperature condition, the engine
will automatically switch to alternating cylinder operation. Each disabled
cylinder acts as an air pump and cools the engine.
When this occurs the vehicle will still operate. However:
•The engine power will be limited.
•The air conditioning system will be disabled.
Continued operation will increase the engine temperature and the engine
will completely shut down, causing steering and braking effort to increase.
Once the engine temperature cools, the engine can be restarted. Take
your vehicle to an authorized dealer as soon as possible to minimize
engine damage.
