Compass Variance
Compass variance is the difference between magnetic
north and geographic north. In some areas of the
country, the difference is great enough to cause the
compass to give false readings. If this occurs, the
compass must be set.
Automatic Compass Calibration
The compass is self
-calibrating, which eliminates the
need to manually set the compass. When the vehicle is
new, the calibration process may not be complete. In
these cases, the calibration symbol C will be displayed
where the compass reading is normally displayed.
To calibrate the compass, in an area free from large
metal objects, make three 360 degree turns. The
calibration symbol will turn off and the compass reading
will be displayed.Manual Compass Calibration
If the compass appears erratic and the calibration
symbol does not appear, you must manually put the
compass into the calibration mode. To get into this
mode, do the following:
1. Turn the ignition on and cycle the DIC to the
compass/temperature mode.
2. Press and hold the SET button for longer than
three seconds.

How the System Works
If the rear park aid disable switch is not on, the rear
parking assist will turn on automatically when the shift
lever is moved into REVERSE (R) and the vehicle
speed is less then 3 mph (5 km/h). When the system
turns on, the three lights on the display will illuminate
for 1.5 seconds to let you know that the system is
working. The red light will flash to indicate that the
system is disabled if your vehicle is moving in
REVERSE (R) at a speed greater then 3 mph (5 km/h).
When shifting into REVERSE (R) with the vehicle
speed less than 3 mph (5 km/h) and an object is
detected, one of the following will occur:
A chime will sound the first time an object is detected,
if the object is between 20 inches (0.5 m) and
5 feet (1.5 m) away.
RPA can detect objects 3 inches (7.6 cm) and wider,
and at least 10 inches (2.5 cm) tall, but cannot detect
objects that are above liftgate level. In order for the rear
sensors to recognize an object, it must be within
operating range.

(Defog): This setting directs air to the windshield
and through the floor ducts. This mode is particularly
useful during cold or inclement weather because of your
vehicle's larger windshield area.
(Defrost): This setting directs most of the air to the
windshield and side window vents.
Mode Buttons
(Recirculation): Press this button (the light will
glow) to recirculate the air inside of your vehicle and to
limit the amount of outside air and/or odors entering
the vehicle.
Press this button again (the light will go off) to send
outside air into your vehicle. Using this setting while
trying to defrost or defog the windows will help clear
the vents of moisture. When the defog, defrost or lower
setting is selected, the system will automatically go to
outside air mode.
Operating the Heating/Ventilation/Air Conditioning
(HVAC) system in the recirculation mode may cause
fogging of the vehicle's windows when the weather
is cold and damp. To clear the fog, switch the HVAC
system to either the defog or defrost mode and increase
the fan speed. To avoid refogging of the windows,
operate the HVAC system in the outside air mode.Air Conditioning
On very hot days, your vehicle will cool down more
quickly and economically if you open the windows long
enough to let hot, inside air escape. For all settings,
adjust the temperature knob and fan speed as desired.
To get maximum cooling or a quick cool
-down on
very hot days, press the A/C and recirculation buttons
(the lights will glow) and turn the temperature knob
counterclockwise (toward the blue area). Then, adjust
the mode knob to direct the air to the desired location.
This setting should not be used for long periods of time
because the air may become too cold and dry.
Push the A/C button again (the light will go off) to turn
off the air conditioning.
When the air conditioner compressor is on, you may
sometimes notice slight changes in your vehicle's engine
performance and power. This is normal. The system is
designed to help fuel economy while it maintains the
desired cooling level.
The air conditioner removes moisture from the air, so
you may sometimes notice water dripping from under
your vehicle's engine compartment when it is idling or
after it has been turned off. This is normal.

3-5 Dual Automatic ComforTemp Climate
Control (If Equipped)
With this system, you set a temperature. You can then
either let the system automatically control airflow
direction and force to maintain the temperature, or you
can manually adjust it. The system works best if you
keep your windows closed while using it.
The vehicle's interior will warm up or cool down at the
same rate no matter which temperature you choose. For
example, if you set the system at 90
F (32
C) it will not
heat any faster than if you had set it at 70
F (21
C).
It will just continue to heat longer.Automatic Control
For the most efficient operation, you should set the
system temperature and push the driver's temperature
knob for automatic operation. The word AUTO will be
shown in the display. The system will select the best fan
speed and airflow settings to keep you comfortable.
The air conditioning compressor will run if the outside
temperature is above 32
F (0
C). You may notice a
delay of two to three minutes before the fan comes on
when you start your vehicle in cool weather.
Driver's Temperature Control
The driver's temperature knob sets the temperature for
the system when the passenger's temperature setting is
in neutral. If the passenger's temperature setting is not in
neutral, the driver's temperature knob sets the
temperature for the driver only.
Turn the knob clockwise to raise the temperature and
counterclockwise to lower the temperature. The display
will show the temperature briefly, then the outside
temperature will be displayed.
If you push the temperature knob for automatic
operation, the system will control the fan speed and
air temperature.

3-6
Passenger's Temperature Control
The passenger's temperature knob adjusts the
temperature on the passenger's side of the vehicle so
it is warmer or cooler than the temperature set by the
driver. The passenger temperature setting is shown
under the words PASS TEMP in the display.
Turn the knob clockwise to raise the temperature and
counterclockwise to lower the temperature. The display
will not show the passenger's temperature
-- only that
of the driver. Indicators under the words PASS TEMP in
the display will show passenger temperature relative
driver's set temperature.
The large single bar in the center of the + and
- symbols
(neutral) indicates the same temperature as the driver.
The bars between the center bar and the + symbol
indicate a warmer temperature setting than the driver.
The bars between the center bar and the
- symbol
indicate a cooler temperature setting than the driver.
Manual Control
You can also manually control the heating, cooling
and ventilation in your vehicle. You can select airflow
direction, fan speed, outside or recirculated air and air
compressor operation by using the following:Mode Button
This button has several settings to control direction of
airflow when the system is not in AUTO. To access the
various modes available, continue to press MODE until
the desired mode appears in the display.
(Defog): This setting directs half of the air to
the floor ducts and half to the defroster and side
window vents.
(Bi-Level): This setting directs half of the air
through the instrument panel outlets. Most of the
remaining air is directed through the floor ducts and
a little to the defroster and side window vents.
(Upper): This setting directs air through the
instrument panel outlets.
(Lower): This setting brings in most of the air
through the floor ducts. The rest comes out of the
defroster and side window vents.
(Defrost): This setting brings in outside air and
directs most of the air through the defrost vent. Some of
the air also goes to the floor ducts and the side window
defogger outlets. The air conditioning compressor will
run automatically in this setting unless the outside
temperature is below 32
F (0
C).

3-7
Mode Buttons
VENT: This button turns the air conditioning
compressor on and off and changes the mode to
upper. The words A/C OFF are shown in the display.
Recirculation is not permitted when the compressor
is off. The system will try to control the temperature
automatically, but without the compressor.
(Recirculation): Press this button
(the recirculation symbol in the display will be lit) to
recirculate the air inside of your vehicle and to limit the
amount of outside air and/or odors entering the vehicle.
Press this button again (the recirculation symbol will
go off) to send outside air into your vehicle. Using this
setting while trying to defrost or defog the windows will
help clear the vents of moisture. When the defog, defrost
or lower setting is selected, the system will
automatically go to outside air mode.
Operating the Heating/Ventilation/Air Conditioning
(HVAC) system in the recirculation mode may cause
fogging of the vehicle's windows when the weather
is cold and damp. To clear the fog, switch the HVAC
system to either the defog or defrost mode and increase
the fan speed. To avoid refogging of the windows,
operate the HVAC system in the outside air mode.Air Conditioning
On very hot days, your vehicle will cool down more
