Electronic Climate Control System
Fan Knob
The knob on the left side of the electronic climate control
panel is used to regulate the fan speed. To manually
increase airflow, move the knob clockwise. To manually
decrease airflow, move it counterclockwise.
OFF: If the knob is in OFF, outside air will still enter
the vehicle, and will be directed based on the position of
the mode knob.
AUTO: If the knob is in AUTO, the fan speed will vary
as the system maintains the selected temperature.
When both the fan knob and mode knob are in the AUTO
position, the system will then automatically maintain the
desired cabin temperature as selected by the temperature
knob. Manual operation is also available.Temperature Knob
The middle knob on the control panel is used to select
the desired air temperature in your vehicle. This knob
will allow you to adjust the interior air temperature
independent of the mode knob setting. Move the knob
clockwise toward 82 for warmer air. Move the knob
counterclockwise toward 66 for cooler air. When the
system is set for automatic operation, sensors will
control the fan speed.
Full Hot: If you turn the temperature knob past 82, the
system will go into the ªfull hotº mode. The system will
remain at that maximum heating setting and the fan will
blow at the speed to which the fan knob is set. If the fan
is in AUTO, it will run at full speed.
Full Cold: If you turn the temperature knob past 66, the
system will go into the ªfull coldº mode. The system
will remain at that maximum cooling setting and the fan
will blow at the speed to which the fan knob is set. If the
fan is in AUTO, it will run at full speed.

Pressing the recirculation button will cancel outside air
operation. To return to normal system operation and to
prevent stale passenger compartment air, be sure to
return to the outside air position.
Recirculation will not be available in floor, blend or
defrost modes. This helps reduce window fogging.
If the recirculation button is pressed in theses modes,
the LED indicator for recirculation will flash three times
indicating that forced outside air is activated and
recirculation is not available.
If the air conditioning system is activated and system
demand is high in situations such as city traffic, idling,
or very hot weather, the system will automatically
switch from outside air to recirculation. The LED
indicator will not change. After the demand on the
system is not so great, the system will return to
outside air.
(A/C): Press this button to turn the air
conditioning on and off. The system will cool and
dehumidify the air inside the vehicle when the A/C light
is on. When in AUTO, the A/C is automatically engaged
when necessary.
Air conditioning will be automatically disabled when
the outside temperature drops below a level which air
conditioning is ineffective.
Rear Air Conditioning and Rear Heater
(With Sunroof)
Your vehicle has the rear air conditioning and rear heater
system combination. Controls are provided to regulate
temperature, location and speed of the airflow.
Front Control
To adjust the airflow speed, turn the fan control knob
located on the left side to the desired setting.
To regulate the airflow direction, adjust the right knob on
the control panel. Turn the knob clockwise for floor vent
airflow or counterclockwise for headliner vent airflow.
Generally, the upper vents are used for air conditioning
and the floor vents for heating. The knob can be set to
any blend setting.
To adjust the air temperature, turn the temperature knob
on the center of the control panel.
For warmer air, turn the knob clockwise toward red. For
cooler air, turn the knob counterclockwise toward blue.

3-6 Rear Air Conditioning and Heating Systems
with Electronic Climate Control System
(Without Sunroof)
Front Control
Rear Control
With this system the rear passengers can control the air
temperature, air flow and air speed. The climate control
has three knobs.To adjust the airflow speed, turn the fan knob located on
the left side of the control panel to the desired setting.
The system can be controlled from the front controls as
well as the rear controls. Choosing AUTO from the front
will control the rear settings. Choosing OFF from the
front control will also turn off the rear climate control.
When the front control is set to REAR, the rear controls
can be used by rear seat passengers.
To adjust the air temperature on either control panel,
turn the temperature knob on the center of the control
panel. For warmer air, turn the knob clockwise
toward 82. Turn the knob counterclockwise toward 66
for cooler air.
To regulate the airflow direction, adjust the right knob
on the control panel. Turn the knob clockwise for floor
vent airflow or counterclockwise for headliner vent
airflow. Generally, the upper vents are used for air
conditioning and the floor vents for heating. The knob
can be set to any blend setting.

3-9 Ventilation System
For mild outside temperatures when little heating or
cooling is needed, use outside air to direct outside air
through your vehicle. Air will flow through the
instrument panel outlets.
Your vehicle's ventilation system supplies outside air to
the inside of your vehicle when it is moving. With the
side windows closed, air will flow into the front air
inlet grilles, through the vehicle, and out of the air
exhaust valves.
Outside air will also enter the vehicle when the heater or
the air conditioning fan is running, unless you have the
recirculation button pressed in. For more information on
the recirculation button, see ªAir Conditioningº earlier
in this section.
Your vehicle has air
outlets in the center and
on the sides of the
instrument panel.
You can move the outlets from side
-to-side or up and
down to direct the flow of air. The driver's and
passenger's side outlets have shut
-off thumbwheels.
Turn the thumbwheels to the left to shut off air flow or
to the right to allow air flow. When you close an outlet,
it will increase the flow of air coming out of any outlets
that are open. The center outlet does not completely shut
off airflow.
Your vehicle also has outlets located on the headliner for
the rear seat passengers.
To use these vents, press on the individual slats to
open the vent. Turn the entire vent in the direction you
want to direct airflow. Push the slats to close them and
block airflow.
