remain on. See “Wiper-Activated Headlamps”
underExterior Lamps on page 164for more
information.
Notice:Do not place stickers or other items
on the exterior glass surface directly in front of

washer until the windshield is warmed.
Otherwise the washer uid can form ice
on the windshield, blocking your vision.
If the uid in the windshield washer uid reservoir
is low, the message LOW WASHER FLUID will
appear on the Driver Information Center (DIC)
display. It will take 60 seconds after the bottle is
relled for this message to turn off. For information

If the passenger’s PWR button is off, the driver’s
temperature switch controls the temperature for the
entire vehicle.
«9ª(Fan):Press this switch to increase or
decrease the fan speed. Pressing this switch
cancels automatic operation and places the system
in manual mode. Press AUTO to return to
automatic operation.
If the airow seems low when the fan speed is at
the highest setting, the passenger compartment

%(Bi-Level):This mode directs about half of the
air to the instrument panel outlets, and then directs
most of the remaining air to the oor outlets. In
automatic operation, cooler air is directed to the
upper outlets and warmer air to the oor outlets.
6(Floor):This mode directs most of the air to
the oor outlets with some air directed to the side
window outlets, and some of the air directed to
the windshield.
The mode switch can also be used to select the
defog mode. Information on defogging and
defrosting can be found later in this section.
180

There is also a sensor located behind the front
bumper. This sensor reads the outside air
temperature and helps maintain the temperature
inside the vehicle. The outside temperature will be
displayed in the navigation system only when
the engine is running. Any cover on the front of the
vehicle could give a false reading of the
temperature.
If the outside temperature goes up, the display
temperature will not change until:
The vehicle’s speed is above 15 mph
(24 km/h) for ve minutes.
The vehicle’s speed is above 32 mph
(51 km/h) for two and one-half minutes.
These delays prevent false readings. If the
temperature goes down, the outside temperature
will be shown when you start the vehicle. If it
has been turned off for less than three hours, the
temperature will be recalled from the previous
vehicle operation.
There is also an inside temperature sensor
located to the left of the ignition button. The
automatic climate control system uses this sensor
to receive information, so if you block or cover
it, the system will not function properly.
Defogging and Defrosting
Fog on the inside of windows is a result of high
humidity (moisture) condensing on the cool window
glass. This can be minimized if the climate control
system is used properly. There are two modes to
clear fog or frost from your windshield. Use the
oor/defog mode to clear the windows of fog or
moisture and warm the passengers. Use defrost to
remove fog or frost from the windshield more
quickly.
-(Floor/Defog):Press the mode button until the
defog mode appears on the display. This mode
directs the air between the windshield, oor outlets
and side windows. When you select this mode,
the system turns off recirculation and runs the air
conditioning compressor unless the outside
temperature is near or below freezing.
1(Defrost):Press this button to direct most of
the air to the windshield, with some air directed
to the side windows. In this mode, the system will
automatically turn off the recirculation and run
the air conditioning compressor, unless the outside
temperature is near or below freezing. Do not
drive the vehicle until all the windows are clear.
182

Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger uses a warming grid to
remove fog or frost from the rear window.
The rear window defogger will only work when the
engine is running.
=(Rear Window Defogger):Press this button
to turn the rear window defogger on or off. Be
sure to clear as much snow from the rear window
as possible.
The rear window defogger will turn off about
10 minutes after the button is pressed when
traveling less than 30 mph (48 km/h). If turned
on again, the defogger will only run for about
ve minutes before turning off. The defogger can
also be turned off by pressing the button again
or by turning off the engine.The heated outside rearview mirrors will heat to
help clear fog or frost from the surface of the
mirrors when the rear window defogger is on.
The rear window defogger and heated mirrors are
automatically disabled when the retractable
hardtop is moving or down.
Notice:Do not use anything sharp on the
inside of the rear window. If you do, you could
cut or damage the warming grid, and the
repairs would not be covered by your warranty.
Do not attach a temporary vehicle license,
tape, a decal or anything similar to the
defogger grid.
