Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine With this dual-zone 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 PASS/TEMP button. Press the up arrow to
increase the temperature and press the down arrow to
decrease the climate setting. Pressing the
OFF button
will
turn off the dual-zone function.
The outside temperature is always displayed when your
vehicle is running. You can change it from Fahrenheit to
Celsius by pressing the
INFO button (above the radio)
until ENGLHSH/METRIC RESET displays. Once
displayed, press the
INFO RESET button to select.
The outside temperature sensor
is located near the front
grille.
The sensor can be affected by road or engine heat
dnring 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. 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 ~QW to cycle through the available modes.
Automatic
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.
To find your comfort zone, start with the 75°F (24°C)
setting and allow about 20 minutes for the system to
regulate. Turn the
TEMP/AUTO knob to adjust the
temperature if necessary. If you' choose 60 OF ( 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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Some heating and cooling
controls can be adjusted at
the steering wheel. Other
touch controls operate some audio controls. See “Audio
Steering Wheel Controls”
later
in this section.
8 FAN SPEED: Press the up arrow lever to increase
the
fan speed and the down arrow lever to decrease
fan speed.
TEMP: Press the up arrow lever to increase
the temperature and the down arrow lever to
decrease temperature.
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 RKE transmitter (“ 1 ”
or “2”) was used to enter the vehicle. The number on the.
back of the
RKE transmitter corresponds to driver 1 or
to driver
2. After the unlock button is pressed on the
RKE 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 changkd by briefly pressing the memory seat buttons
1 or 2 located on the driver’s door.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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
100,080 miles
(160 080 km) interval, whichever occurs first. See your
Maintenance Schedule booklet for more information.
When this message appears, change the transaxle fluid
and reset the transaxle fluid life indicator as follows:
I. Turn the ignition on but do not start the engine.
2. Press and hold the OFF and rear defog buttons on the
climate control at the same time until the
TRANS
FLUID RESET message appears on the DHC.
The cooling s stern in your vehicle is filled with
DEX-COOL engine coolant. This coolant is designed
to remain
in your vehicle for 5 years or 150,000 miles
(240 000 km) whichever occurs first, if you add only
DEX-COOL‘ extended life coolant.

The following explains your cooling system and how to
add coolant when
it is low. If YOU have a problem with
engine overheating, see “Engine Overheating”
in
the Index.
A 50/50 mixture of water and DEX-COOL@
coolant will:
@ Give freezing protection down to -34” F (-37°C).
Give boiling protection up to 265 OF (1 29°C).
Protect against rust and corrosion.
Help keep the proper engine temperature.
Let the warning lights and gages work as
they should.
When adding coolant, it is important that you use
only DEX-COOL~ (silicate-free) coolant.
If coolant other than DEX-COOL@is added t~
the system, premature engine, heater core or
radiator corrosion may result. In addition, the
engine coolant
will require change SOQWW 0- at
34b,8(Bo miles (50 000 km) or 24 months,
whichever CD~CUP’S first. Damage caused
of coolant other than
covered
by your new vehicle warranty.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The following information relates to the system developed
by the United States National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration, which grades tires by treadwear, traction
and temperature performance.
(This applies only to
vehicles sold in the United States.) The grades are molded
on
the sidewalls of most passenger car tires. The Uniform
Tire Quality Grading system does not apply to deep tread, winter-type snow tires, space-saver or temporary use spare
tires, tires with nominal rim diameters of 10 to 12 inches
(25 to 30 cm), or to some limited-production tires.
While the tires available on General Motors passenger
cars and
light trucks may vary with respect to these
grades, they must also conform
to Federal safety
requirements and additional General Motors Tire
Performance Criteria
(TPC) standards.
eadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on
the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled
conditions
on a specified government test course. For
example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and a haIf
( 1 1/2) times as well on the government course as a tire
upon the actual conditions of their use, however, and
may depart significantly from the norm due to variations
b Oraded 100. The relative performance of tires depends in
driving habits, service practices and differences in
road characteristics and climate.
action -- A9
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are A, €3 and
C, and they represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet
pavement as measured under controlled conditions on
specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete.
A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.
Warning:
The traction grade assigned to this tire is based
on braking (straightahead) traction tests and does not
include cornering (turning) traction.
~~~~~~~~~~~ -ID A?
The temperature grades are A (the highest), B and C,
representing the tire’s resistance to the generation of
heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under
controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory
test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the
material
of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and
excessive temperature can lead to sudden
tire failure.
The grade
C corresponds to a level of performance
which all passenger car tires must meet under the
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
No. 109. Grades
A and B represent higher levels of performance on the
laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.
