ControlAUTO (Automatic):The system automatically
controls the fan speed, air delivery, air conditioning
and recirculation modes in order to heat or cool the
vehicle to the desired temperature.
To place the system in automatic mode:
1. Press the AUTO button.
2. Adjust the temperature to a comfortable setting,
generally, between 70°F (21°C) and 80°F (27°C).
Choosing the coldest or warmest temperature
setting will not cause the system to heat or cool
any faster. If the system is set at the warmest
temperature setting, the system will try to
continuously heat the vehicle and will not adjust
the system down as the vehicle warms up.
To avoid blowing cold air in cold weather, the
system delays turning on the fan until warm air
is available. The system starts out blowing air
at the oor, but can automatically change modes
as the vehicle warms up to maintain the chosen
temperature setting. The length of time needed for
warm up depends on the outside temperature and
the length of time that has elapsed since the vehicle
was last driven.
3. Wait for the system to regulate. This may take from
10 to 30 minutes. Then adjust the temperature,
if necessary.
The display can be changed from English to metric units
through the Driver Information Center (DIC). SeeDIC

model includes air outlets in the rear of the center console
for cooling and under-seat air outlets for heating. The
temperature, amount of airow, and the air delivery mode
is controlled automatically by the front climate control
system.
Some vehicles may have an optional climate control
panel for the rear passenger, located on the back of the
center console.

regardless of optional equipment. Airow to the rear
system turns off when defrost is selected on the front
climate control panel, in order to direct air to clear the
windshield.
z(Heated Seat):Press to turn on rear heated seats.
There are two buttons, each with three indicator lights,
located between the climate control knobs on the rear

Driver Information Center (DIC)
The Driver Information Center (DIC) gives you the status
of many of your vehicle’s systems. The DIC is also used
to display warning/status messages. All messages will
appear in the DIC display located at the bottom of the
instrument panel cluster, below the tachometer and
speedometer. The DIC buttons are located on the
instrument panel, to the left of the steering wheel.
The DIC comes on when the ignition is on. After a short
delay, the DIC will display the current driver and the
information that was last displayed before the engine
was turned off.
The top line of the DIC display shows the vehicle
system information and the warning/status messages.
The bottom line of the DIC display shows either the
odometer, the trip odometer A or the trip odometer B
information on the left side. Only one odometer can
appear at a time. See “Trip Information” underDIC
Operation and Displays on page 3-72for information
on changing the display to show the odometer or trip
odometer information. The bottom line of the DIC display
also shows the outside temperature on the right side
and the shift lever position indicator in the center.
SeeAutomatic Transmission Operation on page 2-30
for more information on the shift lever positions.When the sport mode is active, an S will appear next
to the shift position indicator on the center of the DIC
display. When the manual mode is active, an M will
appear on the DIC display. When the normal mode is
active, only the shift position indicator will appear. While
the Driver Shift Control (DSC) feature is active, the DIC
will change to show the selected gear. See “Driver Shift
Control (DSC)” underAutomatic Transmission Operation
on page 2-30for more information.
If a problem is detected, a warning message will appear
on the display. Be sure to take any message that
appears on the display seriously and remember that
clearing the message will only make the message
disappear, not correct the problem.
DIC Operation and Displays
The Driver Information Center (DIC) has different modes
which can be accessed by pressing the four DIC buttons
located on the instrument panel, to the left of the steering
wheel.
