Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine STABILITY ENGAGED - 55: You may see the
STABILITY ENGAGED message on the Driver
Information Center. It means that
an advanced,
computer-controlled system has come on to help your
vehicle continue to go in the direction in which you’re
steering. This stability enhancement system activates
when the computer senses that your vehicle is just
starting to spin, as it might if you hit a patch of ice or
other slippery spot on the road. When the system is on,
you may hear- a noise or feel a vibration
in the brake
pedal.
This is normal.
When the STABILITY
SYS ENGAGED message is on,
you should continue to steer in the direction you want to
go. The system is designed to help you in bad weather or
other difficult driving situations by making the most of
whatever road conditions will permit. If the STABILITY
SYS ENGAGED message comes on, you’ll know that
something has caused your vehicle to start to spin,
so
you should consider slowing down.
SERV STABILITY SYS - 54: If you ever see the
SERV STABILITY SYS message, it means there may
be a problem with your stability enhancement system. If
you see
this message, try to reset the system (stop; turn
off the engine; then start the engine again). If the SERV
STABILITY
SYS message still comes on, it means there
is a problem. You should see your dealer for service.
Reduce your speed and drive accordingly.
STARTING DISABLED, REMOVE KEY - 33: This
message will appear when the Personalized Automotive
Security System (PASS-Key
II) senses that an improper
ignition key
is being used to try to start the vehicle.
Check the ignition key for damage.
If it is damaged, it
may need to be replaced.
If you see no damage, clean
the pellet contacts with a soft cloth or napkin. Remove
the ignition key and wait for the Driver Information
Center (DIC) to display WAIT
3 MINUTES. The
instrument panel cluster will then run
a timer and
change the messages to WAIT
2 MINUTES, WAIT 1
MINUTE and then START CAR. When the START
CAR message is displayed,
try again to start the engine.
THEFT SYSTEM PROBLEM, CAR MAY NOT
RESTART
- 34: This message means there is a problem
in the Personalized Automotive Security System (PASS-Key
11). A fault has been detected in the system
which means that the PASS-Key
II system is disabled
and is not protecting the vehicle. The vehicle usually
restarts, however, you may want to take your vehicle to a proper service center before turning
off the engine.
TOP SPEED - FUEL OFF - 111: This message will
appear when the PCM senses that the maximum speed
for your vehicle has been reached. The speed
of your
vehiclebill decrease several mph as the fuel supply is
cutoff. This allows your vehicle
to stay in a stable
operating range.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Driver’s Side Temperature Button
The red and blue temperature buttons adjust the air
temperature coming through the system. Press the
blue button for a cooler setting or the red button for a
warmer setting.
Passenger’s Side Temperature Knob
With this feature, the right front passenger can control
the temperature of air for hisher own zone. The
passenger can select a four degree warmer or cooler
temperature from the driver’s setting.
To turn the system on, press the knob on the passenger’s
side armrest. Rotate the knob to the right to increase
the temperature and turn to the left to decrease the
temperature. Press the knob again to turn the system
off.
Outside Temperature Display
The outside temperature is always displayed when your
vehicle is running. You can change it from Fahrenheit to
Celsius by pressing the ENG/MET (EnglisWmetric)
button on the Driver Information Center (DIC).
The outside temperature sensor is located near the
front grille. The sensor can be affected by road or
engine heat during idling, slow driving or when the engine
is first started after a
short trip. In order to ensure
proper automatic climate control operation, the outside
air temperature display may not update as quickly as
expected. This is to allow the air surrounding the outside
temperature sensor to be as close to the actual outside
conditions as possible. This is determined by how much
time has elapsed since the vehicle has been turned
off
and by vehicle speed.
Mode Controls
The AUTOECON button automatically controls the
direction
of air delivery for air conditioning and non-air
conditioning modes.
Automatic Operation
When the system is set for automatic operation, sensors
will control the air delivery mode. Air will come from
the floor, middle or windshield outlets. The fan speed
will
vary as the system maintains the selected
temperature setting.
Be careful not to put anything over the solar sensor
located in the middle of the instrument panel near the
windshield. This sensor is used by the automatic system
to regulate temperature.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine To find your comfort zone, start with the 75 "F (24°C)
setting and allow about 30 minutes for the system to
regulate. Press the red or blue temperature buttons
to adjust the temperature if necessary. If you choose
60°F (16"C), the system will remain at that maximum
cooling setting and
will not regulate fan speed. If you
choose the temperature of
90°F (32" C), the system will
remain at that maximum heating setting and will not regulate fan speed. Choosing either maximum setting
will not cause the system to heat or cool any faster.
With the automatic setting, the air conditioning
compressor automatically cycles when needed to cool
the air. In cold weather, when the system senses the need for heat, the airflow will be directed out the floor
outlets.
As the interior temperature approaches a desired
setting, the blower speed will decrease.
To maintain
interior comfort, the airflow may move to the instrument
panel air outlets and floor outlets (bi-level mode). On
bright sunny days in cold weather, the airflow may come
out of the air conditioning outlets
(AC mode) to
maintain comfort and prevent stuffiness. If your vehicle is sitting
out on a hot day and you have
it set on
AUTO, the air will first flow out the floor air
outlets for a few seconds. That is normal.
This is to
expel hot air from the air outlets.
As the air is cooled,
the airflow will move through the air conditioning
outlets. If you start your vehicle with the
fan setting on
HI, it will
skip the air conditioning purge.
To avoid blowing cold
air in cold weather, the system will
delay turning on the fan until warm air is available. The
length of delay depends on the outside air temperature,
engine coolant temperature or the time since the engine
was last started.
As the coolant warrns up, the blower fan
speed
will gradually increase and air will flow from the
heater outlets, with some airflow to the windshield to
prevent fogging under most normal conditions.
If you leave your vehicle, the system will remember the
control setting the next time you start your engine,
except for recirculation and defrost. Each ignition cycle
cancels recirculation, whereas, DEFROST will change
to automatic operation when the ignition is shut off and
then turned back on.

of the airflow to the windshield with only a small
amount to the floor outlets.
FAN SPEEDS: Press the button with the fan
symbol on it until AUTO is displayed on the screen.
At this setting, the fan speed
is automatically controlled.
If it is cold outside, the blower may not run in the
maximum high
fan speed right away. The system
checks the temperature of the engine coolant to assure
it is warm enough to provide heat. When the engine
coolant is warm, the controller allows the fan to
gradually increase to a higher speed. This prevents
cold air from blowing into the passenger compartment.
If you want the blower fan at
a high speed, press the
up arrow button until you see
HI on the display. If you
want the fan speed to be automatic, but you like the fan
speed to be higher than the AUTO setting, press the fan

Air Conditioning
.On hot days, open the windows long enough to let hot
inside
air escape. This reduces the time it takes for your
vehicle to cool down. Then keep your windows closed
for the
air conditioner to work its best. I ,
With the digital cluster climate control panel, press the
AUTOLECON button to assist 'in cooling air and in
maintaining proper airflow. Adjust the temperature to a
comfortable setting by pressing the blue,button to cool
your vehicle and pressing the red button to warm your

air inside the
vehicle. Also while in the AUTO mode, the system will
use recirculation as necessary
to cool the air. You may
also need to adjust- the interior temperature and the fan
speed as needed.
When'the
air conditioner is on, you may sometimes
notice slight changes
in your vehicle's engine speed
and power. This is normal because the system is
designed to cycle the compressor
on and off to keep
the desiied temperature.
