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 Button
Press the MODE button to deliver air through the floor,
middle or windshield outlets. The system will stay in the
selected mode until the MODE button is pressed again.
Press the up or down arrow to cycle through the
available 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.
To find your comfort zone, start with the 75
F (24
C)
setting and allow about 30 minutes for the system to
regulate. Turn the TEMP/AUTO knob 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.

3-5
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 symbol
button until HI AUTO is shown on the display.
If you want the blower fan at a low speed, press the
down arrow button until LO is shown on the display.
If you want the fan speed to run lower than the AUTO
setting, press the button until LO AUTO is shown on
the display.OFF: Press this button to turn the system off.
Fresh air will continue to flow through the vehicle,
and the system will try to maintain the previously set
temperature. The outside temperature will show on the
display when the system is OFF.
AC: Press this button to turn the air conditioning on
and off. The system will cool and dehumidify the air
inside the vehicle. In the AUTO mode, the display
will show that AC is active, but the air conditioning
compressor only operates when the system determines
it is needed.
RECIRCULATION: Press this button to limit
the amount of fresh air entering your vehicle. This is
helpful when you are trying to cool the air quickly or
limit odors entering your vehicle. In the AUTO mode,
the system will use recirculation as necessary to cool
the air. Pressing the recirculation button will change the
operation to a manual mode and the air will recirculate
non
-stop. Press this button again to turn off the
recirculation feature.
If you notice the windows fogging, press the
recirculation button to exit the recirculation mode.

3-10 Climate Control Personalization
(If Equipped)
This feature allows both driver's (driver 1 or 2 depending
on the number on the back of your remote keyless entry
transmitter) to personalize their own climate control
settings. For more information, see ªMemory and
Personalization Featuresº in the Index.

Using RDS Mode
Your audio system is equipped with Radio Data Systems
(RDS). RDS mode gives you many useful new features.
When RDS is on, the radio can:

seek only to stations with the types of programs
you want to listen to,

seek to stations with traffic announcements,

receive announcements concerning local and
national emergencies,

receive and display messages from radio stations and

search for a stronger station when a station is too
weak for listening.
RDS features are only available for use on FM stations
which broadcast RDS information.
RDS SELECT: Press this button to use the
alternate RDS functions (RDS, TA, MSG, PTY and

PTY) located on the six numbered pushbuttons.
RDS SELECT: will appear on the display. The alternate
RDS functions are only available when you are using
the FM band of your radio.RDS (1): With RDS off, press the RDS SELECT button,
followed by this button to turn RDS on. The RDS
display will turn on. You must have RDS on to use the
new RDS functions. The RDS display will also turn on
if one of the other RDS function buttons has been
pressed on. If you are tuned to a station broadcasting
RDS information, the station's call letters and Program
Type (PTY) will replace the station's frequency on the
display. After five seconds, the program type will be
replaced on the display by the station's program type
name. The program type and program type name
may be the same or different. Press BAND to recall
the frequency and program type displays. If the radio
is tuned to a station that is not broadcasting RDS
information, the station's frequency will remain on the
display. While RDS is on, the radio will search for a
stronger station in the network when a station gets too
weak for listening. Press the RDS SELECT button,
followed by this button again to turn RDS off.
All RDS functions will be turned off.

3-17
REGION: You can also use the RDS button to access
the region function. When an RDS station becomes
weak, this function searches for a stronger station within
the same network. A network can span a great distance.
One network can have stations spread across a country
or continent. Each network breaks down into regions.
With regions, local news items like weather and traffic
are available to you. When the region function is on,
the radio only searches for stations in the same network
and region. You can only use the region function when
RDS is already on. Press the RDS SELECT button.
Then press and hold the RDS button for two seconds.
REGION: ON will appear on the display. While
REGION: ON appears on the display, press the RDS
button again to turn the region function off. REGION:
OFF will appear on the display. The region function can
be turned on again by pressing the RDS button.
TA (2): Press the RDS SELECT button, followed
by this button to receive traffic announcements.
The radio will turn on the TA display. TP will appear
on the display if the tuned station broadcasts traffic
announcements. You may also receive traffic
announcements from stations in the network related
to the tuned station. If the current tuned station does not
broadcast traffic announcements, the radio will seek to a
station which does. When the radio finds a station which broadcasts traffic
announcements, it will stop. If no station is found,
NONE FOUND will appear on the display and the TA
icon will turn off. When SEEK or SCAN is pressed with
the traffic announcement function on, the radio will only
stop at stations which broadcast traffic announcements.
While a traffic announcement plays, the radio uses a
special type of volume called TA volume. To increase
TA volume, turn the PWR/VOL knob clockwise. Turn it
counterclockwise to decrease volume. TA VOLUME will
appear on the display while the volume is being adjusted.
When a traffic announcement comes on the tuned radio
station or a related network station, you will hear it,
even if the volume is muted or a cassette tape or
compact disc is playing. If the radio tunes to a related
network station for a traffic announcement, it will
return to the original station when the announcement is
finished. If the cassette tape or compact disc player was
being used, the tape or compact disc will stay in the
player and resume play at the point where it stopped.
Press the RDS SELECT button, followed by this button
again to turn TA off.
