Your vehicle also has a flow
-through ventilation system
described later in this section.
Electronic Touch Climate Control
Fan Lever
The FAN lever is used to select the speed of the fan.
Moving the lever between LOW and HIGH will
decrease or increase the fan speed. The fan will be
off when the system is off.Temperature Lever
This lever is used to adjust the temperature of the air
coming through the system. Move the TEMPERATURE

The buttons on your system allow you to choose settings
to deliver air through the floor ducts, instrument panel
outlets or windshield outlets.

To program a personal choice climate control setting,
do the following:
1. Choose a temperature setting for the driver and if
desired, for the passenger. See ªDual Automatic
ComforTemp

Climate Controlº and ªPassenger
Climate Controlº earlier in this section.
2. Adjust the fan speed and the direction of the airflow.
3. Locate the memory buttons on the driver's
door panel.
4. Press a memory button (1 or 2) until you hear two
beeps. The beeps confirm that your selection has
been saved and can now be recalled.
Follow these steps each time you want to change the
stored settings. For more information on the memory
feature, see ªMemory Seat and Mirrorsº in the Index.
Air Conditioning
On hot days, open the windows long enough to let hot
inside air escape. This reduces the time it takes for your
vehicle to cool down. Then keep your windows closed
for the air conditioner to work its best.
If you have the electronic touch system, for quick
cool
-down on very hot days, use maximum air
conditioning with the temperature and fan speed
adjusted to COOL and HIGH. If this setting is used
for long periods of time, the air in your vehicle may
become too cold and dry.
For normal cooling on hot days, use Normal and
adjust the temperature and fan speed for your comfort.
If Recirculation is selected while in the Normal air
conditioning mode, the system works like maximum
air conditioning and recirculates the air.

3-10 Defogging and Defrosting
If you have the electronic touch system, press the
FRONT button and adjust the TEMPERATURE lever
toward WARM and the FAN lever toward HIGH.
If you have the Dual Automatic ComforTemp
system,
use the FRONT button to defog or defrost the
windshield. By choosing this button, the airflow will be
directed at the windshield. Adjust your temperature
level by pressing the TEMP up or down arrow. The fan
speed will be controlled by the system. You can change
the fan speed by pressing the up FAN arrow to increase
speed, and the down arrow to decrease speed.
To reduce the chance of fogging your windows in cold
weather, using the electronic touch system, select HTR
to supply air through the floor ducts. Then move the
FAN lever to HIGH for a few moments before driving
away. This will blow moist air from the intake outlets
toward the floor, not the windshield. If you have the
Dual Automatic ComforTemp system, the AUTO setting
will do this for you. Manual operation of the automatic
ComforTemp system in the floor mode will also supply
air through the floor ducts.
Rear Window Defogger
The lines you see on the
rear window warm the
glass. Press this button to
start warming your rear
and side windows.
At speeds above 35 mph (55 km/h), the defogger
will operate continuously until you press the REAR
button again. After 10 minutes of driving below 35 mph
(55 km/h), the defogger will turn off automatically. If
you need additional warming time, push the button
again. The system will then operate for five minutes
before going off by itself.
