With these systems, you can control the heating, cooling
and ventilation in your vehicle. Your vehicle also has a
flow
-through ventilation system described later in
this section.
Electronic Touch Climate Control
If your vehicle has this climate control system, the
following information tells you how it works.Fan Lever
The FAN control is used to select the speed of the
blower fan and the force of air you want. Moving the
lever between LOW and HIGH will decrease or increase
the fan speed. The fan will be off when the system is off.

3-4 Dual Automatic Comfortemp
Climate Control (If Equipped)
If your vehicle is equipped with the Dual Automatic
Comfortemp Climate Control system, the following
information tells you how it works.You will hear a beep each time a button is pushed and a
light on the button will indicate which function is active.
The lights are on all buttons except TEMP, FAN and
AIR FLOW. The display will show fan speed, comfort
level setting and airflow direction for a few seconds
whenever AUTO is selected, and then it will display the
outside temperature. The outside temperature reading is
most accurate when the vehicle is moving. During stops,
the display shows the previous temperature for best
accuracy and system control.
If the display is flashing after the climate control system
is started, there is a problem with the system and you
should see your dealer for service.
Sun and temperature sensors automatically adjust the
air temperature, the airflow direction and the fan speed
to maintain your comfort setting. The system may
supply cooler air to the side of the vehicle toward the
sun. Be careful not to put anything over the sensor on
top of the dash.

can be turned off by pressing the OFF button once.
Pressing the OFF button a second time will turn off the
main system. Turning off the main system causes the fan
to turn off and the airflow to be directed toward the
floor. The system will still try to keep the interior of the

system is OFF.The ventilation system always allows fresh air to flow
through your vehicle when the vehicle is moving even
with the system in the OFF mode.

through your vehicle without the air conditioning
compressor working. Selecting VENT and the AUTO
button at the same time allows the system to control
automatically without the use of the RECIRC mode.
To turn off the VENT selection, push the VENT button
again. If you select VENT while in FRONT defrost, the
VENT light will flash three times to let you know this is
not allowed. This is to prevent fogging.
RECIRC: When RECIRC is selected, the system will
limit the amount of outside air entering your vehicle.
This is helpful when you are trying to cool the interior
of the vehicle quickly or limit the amount of outside air
entering your vehicle. RECIRC and AUTO may be
selected at the same time. The system will remain in
RECIRC until the ignition is turned off, then the system
will return back to the previously selected mode.
Deselecting the RECIRC button will also turn off the
RECIRC function. RECIRC can be selected in all
manual airflow modes except FRONT defrost and
VENT. If you select RECIRC while in FRONT defrost,
the RECIRC light will flash three times to let you know
this is not allowed. This is to prevent fogging.
