Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Driver’s Outside Auto-Dimming Rearview
Mirror (Option)
The driver’s side outside mirror will adjust for the glare
of headlamps behind you. This feature is controlled by
the on and off settings on the electrochromic mirror. See
“Electrochromic Daymight Rearview Mirror“ earlier
in
this section.
Convex Outside Mirror
Your passenger’s side mirror is convex. A convex mirror’s
surface
is curved so you can see more from the driver’s
seat. This mirror does not have
a dimming feature.
A convex mirror can make things (like other
vehicles) look farther away than they really are.
If you cut too sharply into the right lane, you
1 could hit a vehicle on your right. Check your
inside mirror or glance over your shoulder before
changing lanes.
Storage Compartments
Glove Box
The glove box is located in front of the passenger seat.
To lock the glove box door, insert the oval key in the
lock cylinder and turn
it clockwise. Turn the key
counterclockwise to unlock the door.
Map Focket
The driver’s door may have a map/storage compartment.
You may also have a storage compartment on the
passenger’s door.

through the system.
Turn the TEMP knob clockwise to
increase the temperature and counterclockwise
to
decrease the temperature. The outside temperature is
always displayed when your vehicle is running.
Modt :ton
Press this button to deliver air through the floor, middle
or windshield outlets. The system will stay
in the
selected mode until the
MODE button is pushed again.
Press the up or down arrow to cycle through the
available modes.
When the system is set for AUTO, 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.
To find your comfort zone, start with
75°F (24°C)
setting, allow about
20 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 lnaximum setting will not cause
the system to heat or cool any faster.
With this 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
A/C 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 in the air outlets. As the air is cooled, the
airflow will move through the A/C outlets. If you start
your vehicle
with the fan setting on HI it will skip the
A/C Purge.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Air Conditioning Heating
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.
With the ECC system, press the AUTOECON 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 vehicle. Press the
fan button arrows up or down to adjust the fan speed.
If you have the dual-zone system, press the AC button
to turn the system on and then select the proper MODE
to direct airflow. 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. Turn the TEMP knob clockwise to increase
the temperature and counterclockwise to decrease
temperature. Adjust 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
desired temperature. With
the ECC system, press the AUTOECON button
to direct airflow out of the floor outlets 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 down arrow.
If you have the dual-zone system, press the MODE
button to select heater. This will direct airflow out of the
floor outlets. Adjust the interior temperature to your
comfort level by turning the
TEMP knob clockwise to
increase temperature and counterclockwise to decrease
temperature. 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 outlets. The heater works best
if you keep
your windows closed while using it.

TALK: This setting is used when listening to
non-musical material such as baseball games, talk
shows or news. TALK gives the best clarity of
spoken words. The high and low frequencies are
lowered, the mid-range is increased and the audio is
moved to the front speakers.
DRIVER SEAT: This setting adjusts the audio to
give the driver the best possible sound qualities. This
has been done by tailoring the sound arrival times and
equalization for the driver seat. DRIVER SEAT can
be used at any time for any material. Other passengers
in
the vehicle may not perceive the same effect.
LIVE: This setting is used to imitate the sound of a
live performance.
AUDITORIUM: This setting is similar to LIVE
however, more echo is present. The LIVE and
AUDITORIUM settings
are best used for music.
