Fog Lamps
If your vehicle has fog lamps, use them for better vision
in foggy or misty conditions.
The fog lamp button is
located on the left side of
the instrument panel.
Your parking lamps and/or low-beam headlamps must
be on for your fog lamps to work.
Press the button to turn the fog lamps on. Press the
button again to turn them off. An indicator light will glow
in the button when the fog lamps are on.
Remember, fog lamps alone will not give off as much
light as your headlamps. Never use your fog lamps
in the dark without turning on your headlamps.The fog lamps will go off whenever your high-beam
headlamps come on. When the high beams go off, the
fog lamps will come on again.
The fog lamps will be cancelled after the ignition is
turned off. If you still want to use the fog lamps after you
restart the vehicle, you will need to press the fog
lamp button again.
Some localities have laws that require the headlamps to
be on along with the fog lamps.
Auxiliary Roof Mounted Lamp
If your vehicle has this feature, this button includes
wiring provisions for a dealer or a qualied service
center to install an auxiliary roof lamp.
This button is located
on the center of the
instrument panel near
the climate controls.
3-16

Mode Control
To change the current mode, select one of the following:
H(Vent):This mode directs air to the instrument
panel outlets.
)(Bi-Level):This mode directs half of the air to the
instrument panel outlets; then directs most of the
remaining air to the oor outlets. A little air is directed
toward the windshield and the side window outlets.
Cooler air is directed to the upper outlets and warmer
air to the oor outlets.
6(Floor):This mode directs most of the air to the
oor outlets with a little air directed to the windshield and
the side window outlets.
h(Recirculation):The recirculation mode is used to
recirculate the air inside of your vehicle. Use this
mode to help prevent outside odors and/or dust from
entering your vehicle or to help cool the air inside of
your vehicle more quickly. Press this button to turn
the recirculation mode on or off. The light on the
recirculation button will illuminate. Recirculation cannot
be used in oor, defog or defrost modes. An indicator
on the button will light up, ash three times and turn off
when recirculation is selected in these modes.The air-conditioning compressor will also come on when
this mode is activated. While in recirculation mode
the windows may fog when the weather is cold
and damp. To clear the fog, select either the defog or
defrost mode and increase fan speed.
Temperature Control
Driver’s Side:The lever on the left side of the climate
control panel is used to raise or lower the temperature
on the driver’s side of the vehicle. This lever also
adjusts the temperature to the center console outlets
(if equipped).
Passenger’s Side:The lever on the right side of the
climate control panel is used to raise or lower the
temperature on the passenger’s side of the vehicle.
#(Air Conditioning):Press this button to turn the
air-conditioning system on or off. When the button is
pressed, an indicator light will come on and the system
will begin to cool and dehumidify the air inside of your
vehicle. You may notice a slight change in engine
performance when the air conditioning compressor shuts
off and turns on again. This is normal.
3-22

Defogging and Defrosting
Fog on the inside of the windows is a result of high
humidity (moisture) condensing on the cool window
glass. This can be minimized if the climate control
system is used properly. There are two modes to choose
from to clear fog or frost from your windshield. Use
the defog mode to clear the windows of fog or moisture
and warm the passengers. Use the defrost mode to
remove fog or frost from the windshield more quickly.
Turn the right knob to select one of the following modes:
-(Defog):This mode directs the air to the oor
outlets, windshield and the side window outlets. The air
conditioning compressor will run automatically to
dehumidify the air to prevent window fogging. The
recirculation mode cannot be selected while in the
defog mode.
1(Defrost):This mode directs most of the air to the
windshield and the side window outlets, with only a
little air directed to the oor outlets. The air conditioning
compressor will run automatically to dehumidify the
air to prevent window fogging. The recirculation mode
cannot be selected while in defrost mode.
Do not drive the vehicle until all the windows are clear.
Rear Window Defogger
If your vehicle has this feature, the lines you see on the
rear window warm the glass. The rear window defogger
uses a warming grid to remove fog from the rear window.
If your vehicle has a sliding rear window, you will not
have a rear window defogger; however, your vehicle will
still have a mirror button to activate the heated outside
rearview mirrors, if equipped.
<(Rear):Press this button to turn the rear window
defogger on or off. An indicator light in the button
will come on to let you know that the rear window
defogger is activated. This button will also activate the
heated mirrors, if equipped.
The rear window defogger will automatically turn off
several minutes after the button is pressed. Pressing the
button while the defogger is running can also turn off
the defogger.
W(Mirror):If your vehicle does not have a rear defogger
and is equipped with heated mirrors, your vehicle will have
this button to activate the heated mirrors.
Notice:Do not use anything sharp on the inside
of the rear window. If you do, you could cut or
damage the warming grid, and the repairs would
not be covered by your warranty. Do not attach
a temporary vehicle license, tape, a decal or
anything similar to the defogger grid.
3-23

9(Off):Press this button to turn off the entire climate
control system. Outside air will still enter the vehicle,
and will be directed to the oor. This direction can
be changed by pressing the mode button.
The temperature can also be adjusted using either
temperature knob. Press the up or down arrows on the
fan switch, the defrost button, the AUTO button, or the air
conditioning button to turn the system on when it is off.
Manual Operation
You may manually adjust the air delivery mode or
fan speed.
w9x(Fan):The switch with the fan symbol allows
you to manually adjust the fan speed. Press the up
arrow to increase fan speed and the down arrow
to decrease fan speed.
Pressing this button when the system is off will turn the
system on.
C(Mode):Press this button to manually change the
direction of the airow in your vehicle; repeatedly press
the button until the desired mode appears on the display.
If you press the mode button to select an air delivery
mode, the display will change to show you the selected
air mode delivery. The display will then show the current
status of the system. When the system is turned off, the
display will go blank after displaying the current status of
the system.
H(Panel):This setting will deliver air to the instrument
panel outlets.
)(Bi-Level):This setting will deliver warmer air to
the oor and cooler air to the instrument panel outlets.
6(Floor):This setting will deliver air to the oor
outlets.
-(Defog):See “Defogging and Defrosting” later in
this section.
@(Recirculation):Press this button to limit the
amount of outside air entering your vehicle. The light on
the recirculation button will glow. This is helpful when you
are trying to limit odors entering your vehicle and for
maximum air conditioning performance in hot weather.
Press this button again to allow outside air to enter the
vehicle. The light on the recirculation button will go off.
Pressing this button also cancels the auto recirculation
feature. To resume the auto recirculation function, press
the AUTO button. Each time the vehicle is started, the
system will revert to the auto recirculation function.
If you select recirculation while in defrost, defog or oor,
the light in the button will ash and then go out to let you
know that this is not allowed. This is normal and helps to
prevent fogging.
3-26

If your vehicle has a sliding rear window, you will not
have a rear window defogger; however, your vehicle will
still have a mirror button to activate the heated outside
rearview mirrors, if equipped.
<(Rear):Press this button to turn the rear window
defogger on or off. An indicator light in the button
will come on to let you know that the rear window
defogger is activated. This button will also activate the
heated mirrors, if equipped.
The rear window defogger will automatically turn off
several minutes after the button is pressed. Pressing the
button while the defogger is running can also turn off
the defogger.
W(Mirror):If your vehicle does not have a rear
defogger and is equipped with heated mirrors, your
vehicle will have this button to activate them.
Notice:Do not use a razor blade or sharp object
to clear the inside rear window. Do not adhere
anything to the defogger grid lines in the rear glass.
These actions may damage the rear defogger.
Repairs would not be covered by your warranty.
Outlet Adjustment
Use the air outlets located in the center and on the side
of your instrument panel to direct the airow.
Operation Tips

Keep the hood and front air inlets free of ice, snow,
or any other obstruction (such as leaves). The
heater and defroster will work better, reducing the
chance of fogging the inside of your windows.
When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, turn the
fan knob all the way to the right for a few moments
before driving. This helps clear the intake ducts
of snow and moisture, and reduces the chance of
fogging the inside of your window.
Keep the air path under the front seats clear of
objects. This helps air to circulate throughout
your vehicle.
Adding outside equipment to the front of your
vehicle, such as hood-air deectors, may affect the
performance of the heating and air conditioning
system. Check with your dealer before adding
equipment to the outside of your vehicle.
