Temperature control knob
Controls the temperature of the
airflow inside the vehicle.
Mode selector control
Controls the direction of the airflow
to the inside of the vehicle.
The A/C compressor will only
function if the outside temperature
is above approximately 2°C (35°F)
•MAX A/C–Distributes recirculated air through the instrument panel
registers. Max A/C is noisier than A/C, but more economical and
efficient. This mode will reduce undesirable odors from entering the
vehicle. When placed in Max A/C, the A/C indicator will be illuminated
and cannot be manually disabled.
•
(Panel)–Distributes outside air through the instrument panel
registers. The system will allow some airflow through the floor ducts.
•
(Panel & Floor)—Distributes outside air through the
instrument panel registers and the floor ducts and side window
demisters. The air distributed through the floor ducts will be slightly
warmer than that sent to the instrument panel registers.
•O (Off)–Outside air is shut out and the fan will not operate. This
mode will reduce undesirable odors from entering the vehicle but may
increase the possibility of interior window fogging.
•
(Floor)–Distributes outside air through the floor ducts and side
window demisters.

Operating tips
•To reduce fogging in humid weather conditions, unless in Defrost and
Floor & Defrost, press the A/C control before driving as the air
conditioning removes moisture form the air.
•To reduce humidity buildup inside the vehicle in warm weather
conditions, don’t drive with the climate control system in the OFF
position.
•To reduce humidity buildup inside the vehicle in cold weather
conditions, don’t drive with the climate control system in the
recirculation mode or OFF mode.
•Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the exterior base of the
windshield.
•To increase the efficiency of the A/C, drive with the windows slightly
open for 2–3 minutes after start up or until the vehicle has been
“aired out.”
•Do not place objects under the front seat or over the defroster ducts.
They may reduce visibility, fall into the ducts, or degrade the
performance of your climate control system.
Do not place objects on top of the instrument panel, as these
objects may become projectiles in a collision or sudden stop.
AUXILIARY CLIMATE CONTROLS

provides increased capacity to
quickly heat or cool the vehicle.

Usually, when something affects the compass readings, the compass will
correct itself after a few days of operating your vehicle in normal
conditions. If the compass still appears to be inaccurate, a manual
calibration may be necessary. Refer toCompass zone/calibration
adjustment.
Most geographic areas (zones) have a magnetic north compass point that
varies slightly from the northerly direction on maps. This variation is four
degrees between adjacent zones and will become noticeable as the
vehicle crosses multiple zones. A correct zone setting will eliminate this
error. Refer toCompass zone/calibration adjustment.
Compass zone/calibration adjustment
For optimum calibration, turn off all electrical accessories (heater/air
conditioning, wipers, etc.) and make sure all vehicle doors are shut.
1. Determine your magnetic zone by
referring to the zone map.
2. Turn ignition to the ON position.
3. Start the engine.
4. From Info menu, select the
Compass/Odometer function. (Do
not select Trip, DTE, or AFE. The
top of the message center must be
blank).
5. Press and hold the SETUP and
RESET controls until the message
center display changes to show the
current zone setting (xx).
