Fog Lamps
Your vehicle has fog lamps. You can use them for better
vision in foggy or misty conditions.
Your parking lamps and/or low
-beam headlamps must
be on for your fog lamps to work.
The fog lamp button is
located on the left side of
your instrument panel.Press the button to turn the fog lamps on. Press the
button again to turn them off. An indicator light will
glow near the button when the fog lamps are on.
Remember, fog lamps alone will not give off as much
light as your headlamps. Never use the fog lamps in the
dark without turning on the headlamps.
The fog lamps will go off whenever the high-beam
headlamps come on. When the high beams go off, the
fog lamps will come on again.
The fog lamps will be cancelled after the ignition is
turned off. If you still want to use the fog lamps after
you restart the vehicle, you will need to press the fog
lamp button again.

3-4
Mode Buttons
(Outside air): Press this button to use outside air.
Using outside air will limit stale air odors and help to
prevent excessively humid interior air (from wet boots
or clothing or maximum passenger loads) from being
redirected onto windows.
Pressing the outside air button will cancel the
recirculation mode.
(Recirculation): Press this button to limit the
amount of outside air entering the vehicle to a very
small amount. This mode helps limit odors entering
the vehicle and will assist in reaching a comfortable
temperature in very hot temperature conditions.
Pressing recirculation will cause the system to
recirculate interior air continuously and may cause
the vehicle windows to fog if the passenger
compartment floor is excessively wet.
Recirculation may be selected with the fan control in
OFF to limit odors, outside air and dust from entering
your vehicle.
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.To help reduce window fogging, recirculation will
not be available in floor, blend or defrost modes.
If the recirculation button is pressed in these modes,
the LED indicator for recirculation will flash three times
indicating that forced outside air is activated and that
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 demand on the system
is reduced, the system will return to outside air.
A/C (Air Conditioning): 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 at which
air conditioning is effective.

3-5
Mode Knobs -- Automatic Operation
When the system is set in AUTO mode, sensors will
control the air delivery mode. Air will come primarily
from the floor or instrument panel outlets, with some
air directed to the windshield to prevent fogging.
When the system is in AUTO, the air conditioning light
will turn on, and the recirculation and outside air lights
will turn off. With the system in full automatic control
(both the fan and mode knobs in AUTO), you still
have the ability to override any function. However,
continually overriding the outside air or the air
conditioning compressor will limit the ability of the
system to cool the vehicle quickly.
If you press a button for a function which is not available,
the light next to that button will flash three times to alert
you that it's not available.
To find your comfort zone, start with the 74
F (23
C)
setting and allow about 20 minutes for the system to
adjust the temperature. Then set the temperature higher
or lower if necessary. The system will maintain the set
temperature.With the automatic mode, 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 of the floor outlets. As the
interior temperature approaches a desired setting, the fan
speed will decrease. To maintain interior comfort, the
airflow will adjust between the instrument panel outlets
and floor outlets. On bright sunny days in cool weather,
the airflow may come out of the instrument panel and the
floor outlets to maintain comfort and prevent stuffiness.
To avoid blowing cold air in cold weather, the system
will delay turning on the fan until warm air is available.
The length of delay depends on the outside air temperature,
engine coolant temperature or the time since the engine
was last started. As the coolant warms up, the fan speed
will gradually increase and air will flow from the floor
outlets, with some airflow to the windshield to prevent
fogging under most normal conditions.
Be careful not to put anything over the solar sensor
located near the center of the instrument panel.
This sensor is used by the automatic system to
regulate temperature.
