3-4 Automatic Electronic Dual Climate Control
System (If Equipped)
Your vehicle may be equipped with an automatic
electronic dual climate control system. This system can
automatically adjust and control temperature output, fan
speed, air delivery mode, air conditioning operation and
air intake. You can use the AUTO (automatic) setting or
override the automatic operation with manual control
settings. The set temperature will be remembered each
time you turn the ignition off and restart in the same
settings. You can use the memory option to recall your
settings. (See ªMemoryº in the Index.)Digital Display
The digital display shows readings in Fahrenheit or Celsius
by pressing the E/M button (English/metric) on the Driver
Information Center (DIC). When you start the vehicle,
the display will show the current fan speed, air delivery
mode and the driver
-set temperature for approximately
five seconds and then show the outside temperature.
When the system is fully in the automatic mode, the
word AUTO will also appear on the display. If you have
selected a manual fan speed, then the fan symbol will
appear on the display. If a manual air delivery mode has
been selected, the delivery mode symbol will appear on
the display.
Driver Set Temperature Knob
The DRIVER knob changes the temperature on the
driver's and passenger's side of the vehicle. Turn the
knob clockwise to increase the temperature and
counterclockwise to decrease the temperature.
Whenever you turn this knob, the temperature will be
displayed for approximately five seconds along with the
current fan speed and air delivery mode.

3-5
When adjusting the temperature, start with a driver-set
temperature of 73
F (23
C) until you determine your
comfort zone. If you choose 60
F (16
C), the
system will remain at maximum cooling and will not
automatically adjust fan speed or air delivery. If you
choose 90
F (32
C), the system will remain at
maximum heating and will not automatically adjust fan
speed or air delivery. Choosing either maximum setting
will not cause the system to heat or cool any faster.
Turning the knob past either maximum setting has no
effect on the operation of the system.
Passenger Temperature Offset
The PASSENGER knob changes the temperature on the
passenger's side of the vehicle. When the knob is in
the 12 o'clock position, the passenger's temperature is
the same as the driver's. Turn the knob clockwise for
warmer air on the passenger's side, counterclockwise
for cooler air. If the driver
-set temperature is set at 60
F
(16
C) or 90
F (32
C), turning the passenger knob
has no effect because the system is locked at a
maximum setting.Automatic Operation
Press the AUTO button to place the entire system in the
automatic mode. After a five
-second display of the
current settings, only the word AUTO and the outside
temperature will be shown on the digital display. The
system will operate to achieve your comfort set
temperature as quickly as possible. If you have set the
driver temperature at 60
F (16
C) or 90
F (32
C),
the system will not operate automatically until a
different temperature is selected. The AUTO control
system works best with the windows up and the
removable roof installed or the convertible top up.
A Typical Cold Weather Example:
Your vehicle has been parked outside overnight in cold
weather (below 32
F/ 0
C) and you have set the driver
temperature at 73
F (23
C) and have selected the
AUTO mode. The system will automatically adjust the
temperature output to maximum heating. The fan will
start at a low speed. This is to avoid blowing cold air
into the vehicle. The length of the delay depends on the
amount of time since the engine was last started, the
outside temperature and the engine coolant temperature.
As the coolant warms up, the fan speed will gradually
increase. Air will flow to the floor with some air to
the windshield to prevent fogging under most
normal conditions.

3-10
If the outside temperature goes up, the displayed
temperature will not change until:

The vehicle's speed is above 16 mph (26 km/h) for
one and a half minutes.

The vehicle's speed is above 45 mph (72 km/h) for
one minute.
These delays help prevent false readings. If the
temperature goes down, the outside temperature display
is updated immediately.
If the vehicle has been turned off for more than three
hours, the current 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.
Inside Temperature Sensor
This sensor is located to the left of the ignition switch.
The automatic climate control system uses this sensor to
receive information, so if you block or cover it, the
system will not function properly.Air Conditioning
On very hot days, the vehicle will cool down more
quickly and economically if you open the windows
long enough to let hot inside air escape. Then keep the
windows closed in order to allow the air conditioning to
work best. Maximum cooling will occur when the
recirculate setting is operating, airflow direction is in the
upper mode, and the temperature control knob (on a
manual climate control system) is turned all the way to
the blue area. These settings will be selected by the
automatic electronic dual climate control system if
operating in AUTO when maximum cooling is required.
When the air conditioning is on, you may sometimes
notice slight changes in the vehicle's engine
performance and power. This is normal. The system is
designed to help fuel economy while maintaining the
desired cooling level.
The air conditioning removes moisture from the air, so
you may notice water dripping from under the vehicle
when it is idling or after it has been turned off.
This is normal.
