first sold in Canada.The DRL system will make your headlamps come on
at reduced brightness when the following conditions
are met:

Climate Controls
Climate Control System
A. Temperature Knob
B. Fan Knob
C. Mode Knob
With this system you can control the heating, cooling,
and ventilation for your vehicle.
Temperature Knob
The left knob on the control panel is used to adjust the
temperature of the air in the vehicle. Turn the knob
clockwise or counterclockwise to increase or decrease
the temperature.
#(Air Conditioning):Press this button located on
the temperature knob to turn the air-conditioning system
on or off. An indicator light on the button will come on
to let you know the air conditioning is activated.
When the system is on, this setting cools and
dehumidifies the air entering your vehicle and directs it
through the floor ducts as well as the instrument
panel outlets.
The air conditioning system removes moisture from the
air, so you may sometimes notice a small amount of
water dripping underneath your vehicle while idling
or after turning off the engine. This is normal.
The air conditioning will not function if the fan is
turned off.
3-21

Fan Knob
The center knob on the control panel is used to control
the fan speed. Turn the knob clockwise or
counterclockwise to increase or decrease the fan speed.
?(Recirculation):This mode keeps outside air
from coming in the vehicle. It can be used to prevent
outside air and odors from entering your vehicle or help
heat or cool the air inside your vehicle more quickly.
Press this button on the fan knob to turn the recirculation
mode on or off. An indicator light on the button will
come on to let you know the recirculation mode
is activated.
Recirculation is only available in the bi-level and vent
modes. If you push the recirculation button while
the system is in any other mode, the light on the button
will flash to indicate that recirculation is not available.
Mode Knob
The right knob on the control panel is used to direct the
airflow inside your vehicle. Turn the knob to select
one of the following modes:
H(Vent):Select this mode to direct air to the
instrument panel outlets.
)(Bi-Level):Select this mode to direct approximately
half of the air to the instrument panel outlets, and the
remaining air to the floor outlets and the defroster
and side window outlets. Cooler air is directed to the
upper outlets and warmer air to the floor outlets.
6(Floor):Select this mode to direct air to the floor
outlets. Recirculation does not work in this mode.
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 and side windows. Use the
defog mode to clear the windows of fog or moisture and
warm the passengers. Use the defrost mode to
remove fog or frost from the windshield more quickly.
For best results, clear all snow and ice from the
windshield before defrosting.
W(Floor/Defog):This mode directs half of the air to
the windshield and the other half to the floor outlets.
When you select this mode, the system runs the
air-conditioning compressor unless the outside
temperature is at or below freezing. Recirculation
is not available in this mode.
