The Manual Climate Controls consist of a series of rotary
dials with inner push buttons.
1. Blower Control
Rotate this control to regulate the amount of air forced
through the ventilation system in any mode. The blower
speed increases as you move the control clockwise from
the “0” (OFF) position.
2. Temperature Control
Rotate this control to regulate the temperature of the air
inside the passenger compartment. Rotating the dial
counter-clockwise into the blue area of the scale indicates
cooler temperatures, while rotating clockwise into the red
area indicates warmer temperatures. Rotating the Tem-
perature Control all the way counter-clockwise results in
turning on the MAX A/C feature.3. Mode Control
Rotate this control to change the system between Modes
(Panel, Bi-Level, Floor, Mix, Defrost).
•Panel
Air is directed through the outlets in the
instrument panel. These outlets can be ad-
justed to direct airflow.
NOTE: The center instrument panel outlets can be ad-
justed so that they are directed toward the rear seat
passengers for maximum airflow to the rear.
•Bi-Level
Air is directed through the panel and floor
outlets.
• Floor
Air is directed through the floor outlets with a
small amount flowing through the defrost and
side window demister outlets.

Automatic Climate Controls — If Equipped1. Driver Temperature Control
Provides the driver with independent temperature con-
trol. Rotate the adjustment knob to set desired tempera-
ture shown in the Temperature Display. Rotate fully
counter-clockwise for maximum A/C (LO).
2. A/C Button
Push the A/C Control Button to change the current
setting. The indicator illuminates when the A/C is ON.
Pushing the AUTO control button will cause the A/C
operation to change to AUTO mode and the A/C indi-
cator will turn OFF.
3. MAX Defrost Button
Push the MAX Defrost button to change the current
airflow setting to Defrost mode. The indicator illuminates
when this feature is ON. Performing this function will
cause the automatic climate controls to change to manual
mode. The blower speed increases to full (all LEDs ON)

when MAX Defrost mode is selected, the air conditioning
compressor is turned ON, both driver and passenger
temperature controls are set to (HI), defrost mode is
selected (LED ON), rear defroster is turned ON (LED
ON) and the air recirculation is turned OFF (LED OFF). If
the MAX Defrost mode is turned OFF, the climate system
will return to the previous setting.
4. Blower Control Indicator LEDs
A total of eight LEDs illuminate to visually indicate
blower speeds.
5. Rear Defrost Button
Push the Rear Defrost button to turn ON the rear window
defroster and the heated outside mirrors (if equipped).
An indicator will illuminate when the rear window
defroster is ON. The rear window defroster automatically
turns OFF after 20 minutes.6. AUTO Button
Pushing this button will automatically control the inte-
rior cabin temperature by adjusting airflow distribution
and amount. Performing this function will cause the
automatic climate controls to change between manual
mode and automatic modes.
7. Passenger Temperature Control
Provides the passenger with independent temperature
control. Rotate the adjustment knob to set desired tem-
perature shown in the Temperature Display.
NOTE:
Rotating the Passenger Temperature Control
knob while in Sync mode will automatically exit Sync.
8. Passenger Temperature Display
Rotate the Passenger Temperature Control dial clockwise
or counter-clockwise to adjust the air temperature in the
front right (Passenger Temperature Control) zone of the
passenger compartment. The set temperature is shown

NOTE:•When in Max Defrost mode, the Recirculation button
will change the setting to normal Defrost mode. This
indicates that you can not enter to this mode due to
fogging risk.
• When the Auto indicator is ON and the Recirculation
indicator is OFF, the Recirculation is in AUTO mode.
If the Recirculation indicator is ON, the Recirculation
setting is manual and Recirculation is ON.
14. Driver Temperature Display
Rotate the Driver Temperature Control dial clockwise or
counter-clockwise, to adjust the air temperature in the
front left (Driver Temperature Control) zone of the pas-
senger compartment. The set temperature is shown on
the display. Turning the control knob completely in one
direction or the other activates the HI(maximum heat-
ing) or LO(maximum cooling) functions shown in the display, respectively. To deactivate these functions, turn
the temperature knob to the desired temperature.
Description
The Automatic Dual Zone Climate Control system regu-
lates the air temperatures in the passenger compartment
in two zones: driver side and passenger side.
The system maintains comfort inside the passenger com-
partment and compensates for possible variations in
external climate conditions.
The Climate Control system can recognize extremely cold
(or extremely hot) conditions in the passenger compart-
ment and provide optimal management of the system’s
capabilities.
NOTE:
The reference temperature is 72° F (22° C) for
optimal comfort management.

•Heated rear window
• System deactivation
NOTE: The Climate Control system detects the passenger
compartment temperature using a temperature sensor,
located in the lower instrument panel between the center
console and the steering wheel.
Turning On The Climate Control System
The Climate Control system can be turned on in different
ways: it is recommended to turn the Temperature Control
knobs to set the desired temperatures and then push the
AUTO button.
The system operates automatically to adjust the tempera-
ture, quantity and distribution of the air introduced into
the passenger compartment. It also manages the air
recirculation function and the activation of the air condi-
tioning compressor. During automatic operation, you can change the set
temperatures, air distribution and blower speed at any
time by using the relevant buttons or knobs: the system
will automatically change the settings to adjust to the
new requirements.
During automatic operation (AUTO), varying the air
flow and/or distribution or pushing the A/C control
button causes the AUTO function LED to turn off and the
system to operate in MANUAL mode.
Adjusting The Air Temperature
Rotate the Driver Temperature Control, or the Passenger
Temperature Control, dial clockwise or counter-
clockwise, to adjust the air temperature in the front left
(Driver Temperature Control) or right (Passenger Tem-
perature Control) zone of the passenger compartment.
The set temperatures are shown on the displays.

Climate Control System Compressor
Push the A/C Control button to activate/deactivate the
compressor (activation is indicated by the LED on the
button turning on).
The system remembers that the compressor has been
turned off, even after the engine has stopped.
Pushing the A/C button will stop AUTO MODE (AUTO
LED will turn off). To restore automatic control of com-
pressor, push the AUTO button again.
NOTE:With the compressor off, air cannot be introduced
to the passenger compartment with a temperature lower
than the outside temperature. Under certain environmen-
tal conditions, windows could mist rapidly since the air
is not dehumidified.
MAX A/C
MAX A/C sets the system for maximum cooling perfor-
mance. Rotate the driver temperature control adjust knob
counter-clockwise for MAX A/C. Both driver and pas-
senger temperature displays will show MAX A/C LO.
In MAX A/C, the blower speed and mode position can be
adjusted to desired user settings. Pressing other settings
will cause the MAX A/C operation to switch to the
selected setting and MAX A/C to exit.
Rapid Window Demisting (MAX-Defrost function)
Push the MAX-defrost button to activate (LED on) the
windshield and side window demisting function.
The Climate Control system carries out the following
operations:
•
Turns on the air conditioning compressor when envi-
ronmental conditions are suitable.
• Turns air recirculation off.
• Sets blower fan to the maximum speed.
