Compass Zone Adjustment
When something affects the compass readings, typically the compass
corrects itself after a few days of operating your vehicle in normal
conditions. If the compass still appears to be inaccurate, a manual
calibration may be necessary.
1. Determine which magnetic zone
you are in for your geographic
location by referring to the zone
map.
2. Turn ignition to the on position.
3. Press and hold the 7 and 9 radio
preset buttons together for
approximately five seconds
until ZONE XX appears.
4. Press and release the 7 and 9
radio preset buttons together,
repeatedly until ZONE XX
changes to the correct
zone (1–15).
5. The direction displays, and the zone updates, when you release the
buttons.
Compass Calibration Adjustment
Most geographic areas (zones) have a magnetic north compass point that
varies slightly from the northerly direction on maps. This variation is four
degrees between adjacent zones and becomes noticeable as your vehicle
crosses multiple zones. A correct zone setting eliminates this error.
Perform compass calibration in an open area free from steel structures
and high voltage lines. For optimum calibration, turn off all electrical
accessories (such as the heater, air conditioning or wipers) and make
sure no vehicle doors are open.
1. Start your vehicle.
2. Press and hold the 7 and 9 radio preset buttons together for
approximately 10 seconds until CAL appears. Release the buttons.
3. Drive your vehicle in a circle slowly (under than 3 mph [5 km/h]); it
may take up to five circles to complete calibration.
4. Calibration is complete when the CAL display changes to the
direction value (such as N, S, E or W).

MANUAL HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
A.Defrost:Distributes air through the windshield defroster vents and
demister vents. This setting can also be used to defog and clear the
windshield of a thin covering of ice.
B.Rear defrost:
Turns the heated windows and mirrors off and on. See
Heated windows and mirrorslater in this chapter for more information.
C.Air distribution control:You can set the air distribution control to
any position between the symbols.
Distributes air through the windshield defroster vents, demister
vents and floor vents.
Distributes air through the instrument panel vents.

D.A/C:Press to turn air conditioning off and on. Air conditioning cools
the vehicle using outside air. To improve air conditioning when starting
your vehicle, drive with the windows slightly open for two to three
minutes.
E.Recirculated air:Press to switch between outside air and
recirculated air. When the LED on the button is lit, the air currently in
the passenger compartment is being recirculated. Using recirculated air
can reduce the time needed to cool the interior and reduce unwanted
odors from entering your vehicle.
F.MAX A/C:Distributes recirculated air through the instrument panel
vents to cool the vehicle. This position is more economical and efficient
than normal A/C.
G.Passenger heated seat control (if equipped):Turns the passenger
heated seat off and on. SeeHeated seatsin theSeatschapter for more
information.
H.Temperature control:Controls the temperature of the air circulated
in your vehicle. Turn to select the desired temperature.
I.Fan speed control:Controls the volume of air circulated in your
vehicle. Turn to select the desired fan speed or switch off. If you switch
the fan off, the windshield may fog up.
J.Driver heated seat control (if equipped):Turns the driver heated
seat off and on. SeeHeated seatsin theSeatschapter for more
information.
K.Power:Press to turn the system off and on. When the system is off,
outside air cannot enter the vehicle.

DUAL ZONE AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL SYSTEM
(WITH NAVIGATION SYSTEM)
Note:To use the touchscreen controls, see theTouchscreen climate
controlsin theNavigation Systemchapter.
A.CLIMATE:Control the system through the touchscreen display.
SeeTouchscreen functionslater in this section.
B.Rear defrost:Turns the heated windows and mirrors off and on.
SeeHeated windows and mirrorslater in this chapter for more
information. If your vehicle is equipped with heated mirrors, this button
turns them on also.
C.A/C:Press to turn air conditioning off and on. Air conditioning cools
the vehicle using outside air. To improve air conditioning when starting
your vehicle, drive with the windows slightly open for two to three
minutes.
Use A/C with recirculated air to improve cooling performance and
efficiency.
Note:A/C turns on automatically in MAX A/C, Defrost and Floor/Defrost.
D.Passenger temperature control:Press to increase or decrease the
air temperature on the passenger side of the vehicle.
E.Passenger heated seat control (if equipped):Turn the passenger
heated seat off and on. SeeHeated seatsin theSeatschapter for more
information.

F.Recirculated air:Press to switch between outside air and
recirculated air. When the LED on the button is lit, the air currently in
the passenger compartment is being recirculated. Using recirculated air
can reduce the time needed to cool the interior and reduce unwanted

Note:Recirculated air engages automatically when MAX A/C is selected
or can be turned on manually in any airflow mode except Defrost.
G.Fan speed control:Press + or - to increase or decrease the volume
of air circulated in your vehicle.
H.AUTO:Press to turn on fully automatic operation. Select the desired
temperature using the temperature control. The system automatically
determines fan speed, air distribution, A/C operation, and outside or
recirculated air, to heat or cool the vehicle to maintain the selected
temperature.
I.Driver temperature control:Press to increase or decrease the air
temperature on the driver side of the vehicle.
This control also adjusts the passenger side temperature when dual zone
operation is disengaged.
J.Driver heated seat control (if equipped):Turn the driver heated
seat off and on. SeeHeated seatsin theSeatschapter for more
information.
K.Power:Press to turn the climate control system off and on. When the
system is off, outside air cannot enter the vehicle.
The system status in the touchscreen is also turned off. When the power
is turned back on, the system defaults to fully automatic control.
L.Defrost:Distributes air through the windshield defroster vents and
demister vents. This setting can also be used to defog and clear the
windshield of a thin covering of ice.
GENERAL OPERATING TIPS
Manual Heating and Air Conditioning System
•To reduce fog build-up on the windshield during humid weather, select
Defrost. Temperature and fan speed can also be increased to improve
clearing.
•To reduce humidity build-up inside the vehicle, do not drive with the
system off or with recirculated air engaged.
•Do not put objects under the front seats that will interfere with the
airflow to the back seats.

Vehicles driven year-round in non-extreme climates should use
prediluted engine coolant for optimum cooling system and engine
protection.
What You Should Know About Fail-Safe Cooling
If the engine coolant supply is depleted, this feature allows the vehicle to
be driven temporarily before incremental component damage is incurred.
The fail-safe distance depends on ambient temperatures, vehicle load and
terrain.
How Fail-Safe Cooling Works
If the engine begins to overheat:
•The engine coolant temperature gauge will move to the red (hot)
area.
•The service engine soon indicator will illuminate.
•The coolant temperature warning light will illuminate.
If the engine reaches a preset over-temperature condition, the engine
will automatically switch to alternating cylinder operation. Each disabled
cylinder acts as an air pump and cools the engine.
When this occurs the vehicle will still operate. However:
•The engine power will be limited.
•The air conditioning system will be disabled.
Continued operation will increase the engine temperature and the engine
will completely shut down, causing steering and braking effort to
increase.
Once the engine temperature cools, the engine can be re-started. Take
your vehicle to an authorized dealer as soon as possible to minimize
engine damage.
