Dual Automatic Climate Control
System
With this system, you can control the heating,
cooling, and ventilation in your vehicle. Your
vehicle also has a ow-through ventilation system
described later in this section.
You can select different climate control settings for
the driver and passengers.
Driver’s Side Temperature Knob
The driver’s side knob is used to adjust the
temperature of the air coming through the system
on the driver’s side. The temperature can be
adjusted even if the system is turned off. This is
possible since outside air will always ow 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 counterclockwise or clockwise to
lower or increase the cabin temperature. The
display will show the temperature setting
decreasing or increasing.
Passenger’s Side Temperature Knob
The passenger’s side knob can be used to change
the temperature of the air coming through the
system on the passenger’s side of the vehicle. The
temperature can be adjusted even if the system
is turned off. This is possible since outside air will
always ow through the system as the vehicle
is moving forward unless it is set to recirculation
mode. See “Recirculation” later in this section.

Automatic Operation
AUTO (Automatic):When automatic operation

change to show the current temperature(s)
and AUTO come on the display. The current
delivery mode and fan speed will also be
displayed for approximately ve 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 40°F (4°C). 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 your
vehicle. The light on the button will come on
in recirculation.
2. Set the driver’s and passenger’s temperature.
To nd your comfort setting, start with a 74°F
(23°C) temperature setting and allow about
20 minutes for the system to regulate. Use the
driver’s or passenger’s temperature buttons to
adjust the temperature setting as necessary.
If you choose the temperature setting of 60°F
(15°C), the system will remain at the maximum
cooling setting. If you choose the temperature
setting of 90°F (32°C), the system will remain at
the maximum heat setting. Choosing either
maximum setting will not cause the vehicle to
heat or cool any faster.

{CAUTION:
Adding only plain water to your cooling
system can be dangerous. Plain water, or
some other liquid such as alcohol, can
boil before the proper coolant mixture will.
Your vehicle’s coolant warning system is
set for the proper coolant mixture. With
plain water or the wrong mixture, your
engine could get too hot but you would
not get the overheat warning. Your engine
could catch re and you or others could
be burned. Use a 50/50 mixture of clean,
drinkable water and DEX-COOL
®coolant.
Notice:In cold weather, water can freeze and
crack the engine, radiator, heater core and
other parts. Use the recommended coolant and
the proper coolant mixture.
{CAUTION:
You can be burned if you spill coolant on
hot engine parts. Coolant contains
ethylene glycol and it will burn if the
engine parts are hot enough. Do not spill
coolant on a hot engine.
1. You can remove the
coolant surge tank
pressure cap
when the cooling
system, including
the coolant
surge tank pressure
cap and upper
radiator hose, is no
longer hot.
Remove the coolant surge tank pressure cap
by slowly turning the pressure cap
counterclockwise about one full turn. If you
hear a hiss, wait for that to stop. A hiss means
there is still some pressure left.
