the switch is in this position.
1(Automatic):The lamp will come on when a
door is opened. SeeEntry Lighting on page 153.
+(On):The lamp will stay on as long as
the switch is in this position.
Entry Lighting
If the dome lamp is in the automatic position,
the lamps inside your vehicle will come on when
any door is opened. In addition, the lights will
come on when the remote keyless entry unlock
button is pressed. It will stay on for 20 seconds or
until a door is opened. After the door is opened

)(Bi-Level):This mode directs air to the
instrument panel outlets and to the oor 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 some air directed to the
windshield.
When you select this mode, the system will turn
recirculation mode off and run the air conditioning
compressor unless the outside air is at or below
freezing. Recirculation mode cannot be selected
while in oor mode. This helps prevent window
fogging and moisture building up within the cabin.
The right knob can also be used to select defog or
defrost mode. See “Defogging and Defrosting”
later in this section.
A(Fan):Turn the left knob clockwise to increase
the fan speed or counterclockwise to decrease
the fan speed. To turn the fan off, turn the left knob
all the way counterclockwise. In any setting
other than off, the fan will run continuously with
the ignition on. The fan must be turned on to run
the air conditioning compressor. There will besome airow noticeable from the various outlets
when driving, even with the fan in the off position.
This is to ensure some fresh air is always
available in the vehicle.
Temperature Control:Turn the center knob
clockwise to increase or counterclockwise
to decrease the temperature inside your vehicle.
@(Recirculate):Press this button to toggle
between recirculate and outside air modes. The
indicator light turns on when recirculate mode is
selected. This mode can be used to prevent
outside air and odors from entering your vehicle
or to help heat or cool the air inside your vehicle
more quickly. Avoid using the recirculate mode on
during high periods of humidity or cool outside
temperatures since this may result in increased
window fogging. If window fogging is experienced,
select the defrost mode.
Recirculation mode is not available in oor, defog,
or defrost modes and will shut off automatically and
change to outside air until a mode other than oor,
defog, or defrost is selected. This helps prevent
window fogging and moisture building up within
the cabin.

#(Air Conditioning):Press this button to
turn the air conditioning system on or off. When
this button is pressed, an indicator light above
the button will come on to let you know the
air conditioning is activated. Air conditioning
can be selected in any mode as long as the
fan is on in any speed position.
On hot days, activate the air conditioning system,
select maximum fan speed and the coldest
temperature setting. Open the windows long
enough to let the hot inside air escape, then close
them. This helps reduce the time it takes for your
vehicle to cool down. It also helps the system to
operate more efficiently. Adjust fan speed and
temperature setting as required to achieve comfort.
The air conditioning system removes moisture
from the air, so you may sometimes notice a
small amount of water dripping underneath your
vehicle while idling or after turning off the
engine. This is normal.Defogging and Defrosting
Fog on the inside of 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
clear fog or frost from your windshield and side
windows. 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. For best results, clear all
snow and ice from the windshield before defrosting.
Turn the right knob to select the defog or
defrost mode.
-(Defog):This mode directs air to the
windshield, side window outlets and oor outlets.
When you select this mode, the system will turn
recirculation mode off and run the air conditioning
compressor unless the outside air is at or below
freezing. Recirculation mode cannot be selected
while in defog mode. This helps prevent window
fogging and moisture building up within the cabin.
To defog the windows faster, turn the temperature
knob clockwise to the warmest setting.

0(Defrost):This mode directs most of the air to
the windshield, with some air directed to the side
window outlets and the oor outlets. When you
select this mode, the system will turn recirculation
mode off automatically and will run the air
conditioning compressor unless the outside air is
at or below freezing. Recirculation mode cannot be
selected while in defrost mode. This helps prevent
window fogging and moisture building up within
the cabin. To defrost the windows faster, turn the
temperature knob clockwise to the warmest setting.
Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to
remove fog from the rear window.
The rear window defogger will only work when the
ignition is in RUN.
<(Rear Window Defogger):Press the button to
turn the rear window defogger on or off. An indicator
light above the button will come on to let you know
that the rear window defogger is activated.
The rear window defogger will stay on for
approximately 15 minutes after the button is
pressed, unless the ignition is turned to ACC or
LOCK. If turned on again, the defogger will only run
for approximately seven minutes before turning off.
The defogger can also be turned off by pressing the
button again or by turning off the engine.
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.

Operation Tips

Clear away any ice, snow, or leaves from the
air inlets at the base of the vehicle that may
block the ow of air into your vehicle.

deectors that could adversely affect the
performance of the system.

objects to help circulate the air inside of
your vehicle more effectively.
Passenger Compartment Air Filter
The passenger compartment air is routed through
a passenger compartment lter. The lter
removes certain particles from the air, including
pollen and dust particles. Reductions in airow,
which may occur more quickly in dusty areas,
indicate that the lter needs to be replaced.The lter should be replaced as part of routine
scheduled maintenance. SeeScheduled
Maintenance on page 420for replacement
intervals. To nd out what type of lter to use,
seeNormal Maintenance Replacement Parts
on page 434.
The passenger compartment air lter can be

brake system (ABS) warning light will come
on briey, as a check, when you start your vehicle.
If it does not, have your vehicle serviced so that
the light works properly when it needs to.
The ABS light is located
in the instrument panel
cluster, to the left of
the engine coolant
temperature gage.
If the light stays on longer than a few seconds
after you start your engine, or comes on and stays
on while you are driving, try resetting the system.To reset the system, do the following:
1. If you are driving, pull over when it is safe
to do so.
2. Be sure the vehicle is in PARK (P).
3. Turn off the ignition.
4. Then restart the engine.
If the light remains on after resetting the system
or comes on again while driving, your vehicle
needs service. If the ABS light is on, but the
regular brake system warning light is not on, the
anti-lock brakes are not working properly, but
the regular brakes are still functioning. Have your
vehicle serviced right away. If both brake lights
are on, you do not have anti-lock brakes, and
there’s a problem with your regular brakes as well.
Have your vehicle towed for service. SeeTowing
Your Vehicle on page 284.
The anti-lock brake system warning light should
come on briey when you turn the ignition key to
RUN. If the light does not come on then, have it
xed so it will be ready to warn you if there is a
problem.
