Air conditioning
Select A/C for air conditioned air
to flow through these vents:
The A/C mode directs outside air
conditioned air to flow through the
instrument panel vents. The A/C
mode can be used for heating,
ventilating and defogging the
windows or air conditioning. The
A/C system only functions if the
outside temperature is above 10ÉC
(50ÉF).
Select MAX A/C for air to flow
through these vents:
The MAX A/C mode recirculates
the cabin air and directs it to flow
through the instrument panel
vents. This mode is noisier but
more economical than the A/C
mode. The air conditioning system
only functions if the outside
temperature is above 10ÉC (50ÉF).

control the temperature in the rear
of the vehicle through a second
control panel above the second
row seat.
In order for the auxiliary air
conditioning controls to function,
the driver's auxiliary air
conditioning control must be set to

How fail-safe cooling works
If the engine overheats, the engine
will automatically switch from
eight to alternating four cylinder
operation. Each disabled cylinder
acts as an air pump and cools the
engine.
When this occurs, the engine
coolant temperature gauge will
move into the red area and the
light illuminates.
The service engine soon light will
illuminate, indicating that vehicle
service is required.
The vehicle will still operate, but
will have limited engine power and
no air conditioning capability.
Continued operation will increase
engine temperature and cause the
engine to completely shut down.
The vehicle will coast to a stop.
As the engine temperature cools,
the engine may be re-started. Take
your vehicle to a service facility as
soon as possible to minimize
engine damage.
CHECKING AND ADDING
POWER STEERING FLUID
Check the power steering fluid
level at least twice a year.
