speed remains at this speed until it is turned to AUTO
or adjusted to a different level. In the automatic position,
the blower might go to a lower speed during an

To change the current mode, select one of the following:
AUTO:Turns on the automatic delivery mode
operation.
F(Vent):Air is directed to the instrument panel outlets.
*(Bi-Level):Air is directed to the instrument panel

outlets.
7(Floor):Air is directed to the oor outlets with some
air directed to the outboard outlets, side window
outlets, and defroster outlet.
W(Defog):This mode clears the windows of fog or
moisture. Air is directed to the windshield and oor
outlets, with some air going to the outboard outlets and
side window outlets. When selected, the system
turns off recirculation and runs the air conditioning,
unless the outside temperature is at or below freezing.
If recirculation mode is selected while using the
defog mode, the system recirculates air for about
10 minutes and then returns to outside air mode.

frost more quickly. Air is directed to the windshield
with some air going to the side window outlets. When

Air Inlet Modes
There are three options for bringing air into the climate
control system. They are controlled by pressing the
outside air button on the climate control panel.The climate control display indicates one of the
following three modes:
9(Auto Air Inlet):This mode lets the automatic
climate control system choose the best air inlet position
for cooling or warming the vehicle. To have full
automatic climate control, the fan and mode controls
must be set to the AUTO position. On hot days,
the recirculation mode may be selected automatically.
?(Recirculation):This mode recirculates and helps
to quickly cool the air inside the vehicle. It can be used to
prevent outside air and odors from entering the vehicle.
The recirculation mode cannot be used with oor, defog,
or defrosting modes. Using recirculation for long periods
of time can cause the air inside the vehicle to become
too dry or stuffy. To prevent this from happening, after the
air in the vehicle has cooled, select auto air inlet or
outside air.
F(Outside Air):Air is pulled from outside the
vehicle. Outside air is always selected in defrost mode
to prevent fogging.

If the fuel supply gets low, the FUEL LEVEL LOW
message will appear on the Driver Information Center
(DIC) and a single chime will sound. SeeDIC Warnings
and Messages on page 3-51for more information.

The gage may change when you turn, stop quickly
or accelerate quickly.
It takes a little more or less fuel to ll the tank than

MP3/WMA Format
If you burn your own MP3/WMA disc on a personal
computer:
Make sure the MP3/WMA les are recorded on a
CD-R or CD-RW disc.
Do not mix standard audio and MP3/WMA les on
one disc.
The CD player is able to read and play a maximum
of 50 folders, 50 playlists, and 255 les.
Create a folder structure that makes it easy to nd
songs while driving. Organize songs by albums
using one folder for each album. Each folder
or album should contain 18 songs or less.
Avoid subfolders. The system can support up to
8 subfolders deep, however, keep the total
number of folders to a minimum in order to reduce
the complexity and confusion in trying to locate
a particular folder during playback.
Make sure playlists have a .mp3 or .wpl extension
(other le extensions might not work).
Minimize the length of the le, folder or playlist
names. Long le, folder, or playlist names, or a
combination of a large number of les and folders,
or playlists can cause the player to be unable to
play up to the maximum number of les, folders,
playlists, or sessions. If you wish to play a
large number of les, folders, playlists, or sessions,
minimize the length of the le, folder, or playlist
name. Long names also take up more space on the
display, potentially getting cut off.
Finalize the audio disc before you burn it. Trying to
add music to an existing disc can cause the disc
not to function in the player.
Playlists can be changed by using the
ScandcT
folder buttons, theaknob, or the SEEK arrows.
An MP3/WMA CD-R or CD-RW that was recorded
using no le folders can also be played. If a CD-R or
CD-RW contains more than the maximum of 50 folders,
50 playlists, and 255 les, the player lets you access
and navigate up to the maximum, but all items over the
maximum cannot be accessed.
