Once the battery guard has been programmed, your
vehicle will enter the storage mode about
20 minutes
after the ignition key has been turned off.
Your vehicle will stay in the storage mode until the
ignition key is turned out of LOCK. The system will

guard is disabled.
Home and Away Feature
To program, hold two radio preset buttons at the same
time until

again will display AWAY PRESETS DRVR
1 (or
DRVR
2). Radio stations that are out of your normal
operating range can be input at this time.
Climate Control Personalization
With this feature, your vehicle will recall the latest
climate control settings as adjusted the last time your
vehicle was operated. This feature allows two different
drivers to store and recall their own climate control
settings. The settings recalled by the climate control
system are determined by which remote keyless entry
transmitter
(“1” or “2”) was used to enter the vehicle.
The number on the back of the remote keyless entry
transmitter corresponds to driver
1 or to driver 2. After
the unlock button is pressed on the remote keyless entry
transmitter or the ignition key
is placed in the ignition,
the climate control settings will automatically adjust to
where they were last set. The settings can also be
changed by briefly pressing the memory seat buttons
1 or 2 located on the driver’s door.

This section tells you how to make your air system work
for you. Your Electronic Climate Control
(ECC) system
uses ozone-friendly
R- 134a refrigerant.
With the
ECC system, 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.

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

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.

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 ,

If your vehicle has a climate control panel (which is
standard with the analog cluster), press the AC button
or
the TEMPLAUTO knob to turn the system on. The
system'will cool and dehumidify the
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.
Heating
With the digital cluster climate control panel, press the
AUTOECON button to direct airflow and to help save
fuel. Adjust the temperature, if necessary, by pressing
the blue button to decrease temperature and pressing the
red button to increase temperature.
Also remember to
adjust the fan speed by pressing the up or downarrow.
If your vehicle has a climate control panel (which is
standard with the analog cluster), press the
MODE
button to select heater. Adjust the interior temperature to a comfortable level and if the fan speed needs adjusting,
press the up
or down arrow.
With each system, outside
air will be brought in and sent
through the floor, air conditioning or bi-level outlets
(depending on the condition). The heater works best

air throughout
your vehicle.
Keep the air path under the front seats clear
Defogging and Defrosting
On cool, humid days, use DEFOG (digital cluster
climate control panel only) to keep the windshield

or cold conditions.
With the digital cluster climate control panel, press
the DEFOG button and adjust the fan speed by pressing the fan button up or down.
If you use DEFROST,
adjust the fan speed the same way.
If you select
DEFROST from AUTO, the system will control the
fan speed. The temperature will also need to be
adjusted to your comfort level. Press the blue button
to decrease the temperature and the red button
to
increase the temperature. If your vehicle has a climate control panel (which
is
standard with the analog cluster). If you select
DEFROST, adjust the fan speed by pressing the fan
button up or down. If you select DEFROST from
AUTO, the system will control the fan speed. The
temperature also needs to be adjusted by turning the
TEMP/AUTO knob.
Note that recirculation is not available in the defiost
or defog modes.
Rear Window Defogger

fluid to bring the level into the cross-hatched area on
the dipstick.
1. Pull out the dipstick.
2. Using a long-neck funnel, add enough fluid at the
dipstick hole to bring it to the proper level.
It doesn’t take much fluid, generally less than one
pint
(0.5 L). Don’t overfill.
NOTICE:
We recommend you use only fluid labeled
DEXRON@-111, because fluid with that label is
made especially for your automatic transaxle.
Damage caused by fluid other than DEXRON-111
is not covered by your new vehicle warranty.
How to Reset Transaxle Fluid
Change Indicator
Your vehicle is equipped with a transaxle fluid change
indicator.
A CHANGE TRANS FLUID message will
display on the Driver Information Center (DIC) when
the powertrain computer determines that the transaxle
fluid needs to be changed
or at each 100,000 miles
(160 000 km) interval, whichever occurs first. When
this message appears, change the transaxle fluid and
reset the transaxle fluid life indicator as follows:
1. Turn the ignition on but do not start the engine.
2. Press and hold the OW and rear defog buttons on the
climate control at the same time until the TRANS
FLUID
RESET message appears on the DIC.
3. After adding fluid, recheck the fluid level as
described under “How to Check.”
4. When the correct fluid level is obtained, push the
dipstick back in all the way.
