NOTE:For improved safety, the compressor is activated
and the recirculation mode is deactivated when Mix or
Defrost modes are selected. This is done to assist in
drying the air and it will help in keeping the windows
from fogging.
Manual Air Conditioning Operation
To turn on the air conditioning, set the front
blower control to any position except O (OFF) and
press the A/C button which is located next to the
recirculation button. An indicator light on the A/C
button shows that the air conditioning is on.
Cool dehumidified air comes through the outlets selected
by the Mode Control. To turn off the air conditioning,
press the A/C button a second time. The indicator light
will turn off.
NOTE:
•The compressor will not engage until the engine has
been running for a few seconds.
•If your air conditioning performance seems lower than
expected, check the A/C air filter, if so equipped, and
the front of the A/C condenser for an accumulation of
dirt or insects. The A/C condenser is located in front
of the radiator. The A/C air filter is located under the
instrument panel on the passenger side.
•Fabric type fascia protectors tend to block the amount
of air to the condenser and may reduce air condition-
ing performance.
Economy Mode
If economy mode is desired, press the A/C button to turn
off the indicator light, and the A/C compressor. Move the
temperature control lever to the desired temperature.
Recirculation Control
Press the recirculation button to recirculate the
air inside the vehicle. This is located next to the
A/C button. An indicator light on the button
shows that air is being recirculated. Use the
284 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

recirculation mode to rapidly cool the inside of the
vehicle. The recirculation mode can also be used to
temporarily block out outside odors, smoke, and dust.
NOTE:
•When the ignition switch is turned OFF, the recircula-
tion feature will be cancelled.
•In cold weather, use of the Recirculation mode may
lead to excessive window fogging. The Recirculation
mode is not allowed in the Mix and Defrost modes to
improve window clearing operation. Recirculation
will be disabled automatically if these modes are
selected.
•If the recirculation button is pressed while in the Mix
or Defrost mode, the indicator light in the recirculation
button will flash 3 times indicating that recirculation is
not allowed.
A/C Recirculation Programming
The recirculation control is programmed to cancel the
recirculation mode when the ignition key is turned OFF
and will reset to outside air mode when the ignition key
is turned ON. The frequent use of outside air will help
keep odors from building up within the air conditioner-
heater housing. It is recommended that the recirculation
mode be used as little as possible, especially in humid
climates.
For hot and dry climates, or people who are allergic to
pollen and find frequent use of the recirculation mode
necessary, the recirculation mode can be programmed to
not automatically reset to the outside mode by using the
following procedures:
•Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
•Set the mode control to “PANEL”.
•Depress and hold in the “Rear Wipe/Wash” button.

CAUTION!
Interior air enters the Manual Rear Zone Climate
Control system through an intake grille located in
the passenger side trim panel behind the third seat.
The heater outlets are located in the passenger side
trim panel just behind the sliding door. Do not block
or place objects directly in front of the inlet grille or
heater outlets. The electrical system could overload
causing damage to the blower motor.
Rear Temperature And Mode Control
When the center knob on the front climate control unit is
set to the “REAR” position, the second seat occupants
have control of the rear temperature and modes as
follows:
•The rear temperature knob controls both the rear
temperature and mode. When the temperature knob is in the cold position, cold air will be delivered from the
headliner outlets. As the rear temperature knob is
turned towards hot, the air will get warmer, and the
air will be delivered from both the headliner and floor
outlets. When the rear temperature knob reaches the
full hot position, all of the air will be delivered from
the floor outlets.
•When the center knob on the front climate control unit
is set to any position other than “REAR”, the rear
temperature selection follows the setting of the driv-
er’s temperature control on the front climate control
unit. The rear mode selection follows the setting of the
front mode control.
Rear Economy Mode
If rear economy mode is desired, set the center knob on
the front control unit to the “REAR” position. Turn the
A/C button OFF and select any mode except “MIX” or
“DEFROST”.

front ATC unit is in the “AUTO” position. Once the
desired temperature is displayed, the system will achieve
and maintain that comfort level automatically. When the
system is set up for your comfort level, it is not necessary
to change the settings. You will experience the greatest
efficiency by simply allowing the system to function
automatically.
NOTE:
•It is not necessary to move the temperature settings for
cold or hot vehicles. The system automatically adjusts
the temperature, mode and fan speed to provide
comfort as quickly as possible.
•The temperature can be displayed in U.S. or Metric by
selecting the US/M customer programmable feature.
Refer to the “Overhead Console-Customer Program-
mable Features” in Section 3 of this manual. To provide you with maximum comfort in the automatic
mode, during cold start-ups the blower fan will remain
off and “DELAY” will appear in the front ATC display
until the engine warms up. Also, an estimate of the time
remaining until the “DELAY” is over will appear peri-
odically in the display. However, the fan will engage
immediately if the defrost mode is selected or by rotating
the blower control to any fixed blower speed.
This feature may be disabled using the following proce-
dure:
•Press and hold the Heated Rear Window and Auto LO
buttons for 5 seconds.
•The “DELAY” symbol will flash to indicate that the
feature as been disabled.
290 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

Power Button
This button turns the entire system ON/OFF. When the

Manual Operation
This system offers a full complement of manual override
features. The “AUTO” symbol in the front ATC display
will be turned off when the system is being used in the
manual mode. NOTE:
Each of these features operate independently
from each other. If any one feature is controlled manually,
the remaining features will continue to operate automati-
cally.
The left blower control knob can be set to any fixed
blower speed by rotating the knob from low to high. The
fan will now operate at a fixed speed until additional
speeds are selected or either the Auto HIor Auto LO 
buttons are pressed. This allows the front occupants to
control the volume of air circulated in the vehicle and
cancel the “AUTO” mode.
The operator can also select the direction of the air by
rotating the right mode control knob to one of the
following positions.
