Automatic Operation
AUTO (Automatic) :When automatic operation isactive the system will control the inside temperature, theair delivery, and the fan speed.
Use the steps below to place the entire system inautomatic mode:
1. Press the AUTO button.
When AUTO is selected, the display will change toshow the current temperature(s) and AUTO comeon the display. The current delivery mode and fanspeed will also be displayed for approximatelyfive seconds.
When AUTO is selected, the air conditioningoperation and air inlet will be automaticallycontrolled. The air conditioning compressor willrun when the outside temperature is over about4°C (40°F). The air inlet will normally be set tooutside air. If it is hot outside, the air inlet mayautomatically switch to recirculate inside air tohelp quickly cool down the vehicle. The lighton the button comes on in recirculation.
2. Set the driver's and passenger's temperature.
To find your comfort setting, start with a 23°C(74°F) temperature setting and allow about20 minutes for the system to regulate. Use thedriver or passenger temperature buttons to adjustthe temperature setting as necessary. If atemperature setting of 15°C (60°F) is chosen, thesystem 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 causethe vehicle to heat or cool any faster.
Be careful not to cover the sensor located on the top ofthe instrument panel near the windshield. This sensorregulates air temperature based on sun load and alsoturns on the headlamps.
To avoid blowing cold air in cold weather, the systemwill delay turning on the fan until warm air is available.The length of delay depends on the engine coolanttemperature. Pressing the fan switch will override thisdelay and change the fan to a selected speed.

Warning Lights, Gages, and
Indicators
Warning lights and gages can signal that something iswrong before it becomes serious enough to cause anexpensive repair or replacement. Paying attention to thewarning lights and gages could prevent injury.
Warning lights come on when there might be or there isa problem with one of the vehicle's functions. Somewarning lights come on briefly when the engine isstarted to indicate they are working.
Gages can indicate when there might be or there is aproblem with one of the vehicle's functions. Often gagesand warning lights work together to indicate a problemwith the vehicle.
When one of the warning lights comes on and stays onwhile driving, or when one of the gages shows therecould be a problem, check the section that explainswhat to do. Follow this manual's advice. Waiting to dorepairs can be costly and even dangerous.

Compass Calibration
The compass can be manually calibrated. Only calibratethe compass in a magnetically clean and safe location,such as an open parking lot, where driving the vehiclein circles is not a danger. It is suggested to calibrateaway from tall buildings, utility wires, manhole covers,or other industrial structures, if possible.
If CAL should ever appear in the DIC display, thecompass should be calibrated.
If the DIC display does not show a heading, forexample, N for North, or the heading does not changeafter making turns, there may be a strong magnetic fieldinterfering with the compass. Such interference may becaused by a magnetic CB or cell phone antenna mount,a magnetic emergency light, magnetic note pad holder,or any other magnetic item. Turn off the vehicle, movethe magnetic item, then turn on the vehicle and calibratethe compass.
To calibrate the compass, use the following procedure:
Compass Calibration Procedure
1. Before calibrating the compass, make sure thecompass zone is set to the variance zone in whichthe vehicle is located. See“Compass Variance(Zone) Procedure”earlier in this section.
Do not operate any switches such as window,sunroof, climate controls, seats, etc. during thecalibration procedure.
2. Press the vehicle information button until
PRESSVTO CALIBRATE COMPASS displays.
3. Press the set/reset button to start the compasscalibration.
4. The DIC will display CALIBRATING: DRIVE INCIRCLES. Drive the vehicle in tight circles at lessthan 5 mph (8 km/h) to complete the calibration.The DIC will display CALIBRATION COMPLETEfor a few seconds when the calibration is complete.The DIC display will then return to theprevious menu.
DIC Warnings and Messages
Messages are displayed on the DIC to notify the driverthat the status of the vehicle has changed and thatsome action may be needed by the driver to correct thecondition. Multiple messages may appear one afteranother.
