Liftgate/Liftglass
CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with the liftgate or
liftglass open because carbon monoxide (CO) gas
can come into your vehicle. You can't see or smell
CO. It can cause unconsciousness and even death.
If you must drive with the liftgate or liftglass
open or if electrical wiring or other cable
connections must pass through the seal between
the body and the liftgate or liftglass:

Make sure all other windows are shut.

Turn the fan on your heating or cooling
system to its highest speed with the setting
on VENT or OUTSIDE AIR. That will
force outside air into your vehicle.
See ªComfort Controlsº in the Index.

If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all the way.
See ªEngine Exhaustº in the Index.
To open a mechanical lock system from the outside,
insert the key into the lock and turn it counterclockwise
to unlock the liftgate and liftglass.
The liftglass can be opened using the pushbutton on the
liftgate after the doors have been unlocked. This can be
done by using either the power door locks or the remote
keyless entry system.
To open the entire liftgate, lift the handle located in the
center of the door.
To lock a power lock system from the outside, insert the
key into the lock button and turn it clockwise. All doors
will lock. You may also use the keyless entry system or
the power door locks to lock the liftgate and liftglass.

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.
