Automatic Operation
AUTO (Automatic):The system
automatically controls the inside
temperature, the air delivery,
and the fan speed.
To use automatic mode:
1. Press the AUTO button.
When AUTO is selected, the
current temperature(s) selected
and AUTO is shown on the
display. The current air delivery
mode and fan speed also appear
for approximately ve seconds.
When AUTO is selected, the
air conditioning and air inlet
are automatically controlled.
The air conditioning runs when
the outside temperature is over
40°F (4°C). The system is
automatically set to outside
air, unless it is hot outside and
then the air inlet changes to
recirculation mode to help quickly
cool the vehicle. The recirculation
indicator light will come on.2. Set the temperature for the driver
and passenger.
To nd a comfortable setting,
start with a 73°F (22°C)
temperature setting and allow
about 20 minutes for the system
to regulate. Use the driver’s side
or passenger side temperature
buttons to adjust the temperature
setting as necessary. The system
will remain at the selected setting.
Choosing the warmest or coolest
temperatures does not cause
the vehicle to heat or cool more
quickly.
To avoid blowing cold air in
cold weather, the system delays
turning on the fan until warm air is
available. Press the fan control to
override this delay and select the
fan speed.Temperature Control
The driver and passenger side
temperature buttons are used to
adjust the temperature of the
air coming through the system.
The temperature can be adjusted
even if the system is turned off since
outside air still enters the vehicle,
unless the recirculation mode
is selected. See “Recirculation”
later in this section.
Driver Side Temperature
Control:Press the + or−buttons
to increase or decrease the driver
side temperature. The driver side
temperature display will show the
temperature setting.
Passenger Side Temperature
Control:Press the + or−buttons
to increase or decrease the
passenger side temperature.
The passenger side display will
show the temperature setting.

The air conditioning system runs
automatically in this setting, unless
the outside temperature is less than
40°F (4°C).
Do not drive the vehicle until all the
windows are clear.
While in defrost mode, if the PASS
button is pressed, the PASS button
indicator ashes three times to show
that the passenger climate control
system cannot be activated. If the
passenger temperature buttons are
adjusted while in defrost mode, the
driver temperature indicator will
change. The passenger temperature
will not be displayed.Air Conditioning
#(Air Conditioning):Press
to turn the air conditioning (A/C)
on and off. An indicator light comes
on when A/C is on.
The A/C does not work when
the outside temperature is below
40°F (4°C). If
#is pressed the
indicator ashes three times and
turns off to show that the A/C mode
is not available. If the A/C is on and
the outside temperature drops below
a temperature which is too cool for
air conditioning to be effective, the
A/C indicator turns off to show that
the A/C mode has been canceled.On hot days, open the windows
briey to let hot inside air escape.
This helps reduce the time it
takes for the interior of the vehicle
to cool down.
The air conditioning system
removes moisture from the air,
so a small amount of water might drip
under the vehicle while idling or after
turning off the engine. This is normal.
@(Recirculation):Press to
turn the recirculation mode on or off.
An indicator light comes on when
recirculation is on. When the engine
is turned off, the recirculation mode
automatically turns off and must be
re-selected when the engine is
turned on again.

DIC Warnings and
Messages
Messages are displayed on the DIC
to notify the driver that the status
of the vehicle has changed and that
some action may be needed by
the driver to correct the condition.
Multiple messages may appear
one after another.
Some messages may not require
immediate action, but you can
press any of the DIC buttons on the
instrument panel or the trip odometer
reset stem on the instrument panel
cluster to acknowledge that you
received the messages and to
clear them from the display.
Some messages cannot be cleared
from the DIC display because they
are more urgent. These messages
require action before they can be
cleared. You should take anymessages that appear on the display
seriously and remember that clearing
the messages will only make the
messages disappear, not correct
the problem.
The following are the possible
messages that can be displayed
and some information about them.
ALL WHEEL DRIVE OFF
If your vehicle has the All-Wheel
Drive (AWD) system, this message
displays when there is a compact
spare tire on the vehicle, when
the Antilock Brake System (ABS)
warning light comes on, or when the
rear differential uid is overheating.
This message turns off when
the differential uid cools.
The AWD system is disabled until
the compact spare tire is replaced
by a full-size tire. If the warningmessage is still on after putting on
the full-size tire, you need to reset
the warning message. To reset the
warning message, turn the ignition
off and then back on again after
30 seconds. If the message stays on,
see your dealer/retailer right away.
