AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL (If Equipped)
AUTO:
Press the button to select automatic operation. The system
automatically controls the temperature, amount and distribution of the airflow
to reach and maintain your previously selected temperature.
A
Fan speed:
Controls the volume of air circulated in your vehicle. Press the
buttons to select the desired fan speed. The setting is shown in the display.
B

you are unable to select recirculated air or manually adjust the temperature
control. Press the
AUTO button to return to auto mode.
D
MAX A/C:
Press the button to distribute maximum air conditioning through
the instrument panel air vents. This mode is more economical and efficient
than normal air conditioning.
E
Recirculated air:

recirculated air. The air currently in the passenger compartment recirculates.
This can reduce the time needed to cool the interior and reduce unwanted odors
from entering your vehicle.

permanent cooling. In position HI, the
system switches to permanent heating.
Note:
If you select either position LO or HI,
the system does not regulate a stable
temperature.
Mono Mode
In this mode, the temperature settings for
both the driver side and passenger side are
linked. If you adjust the setting using the
rotary control on the driver side, the system
adjusts the temperature to the same
setting on the passenger side. Switching Mono Mode Off
Select a temperature for the passenger
side using the rotary control on the
passenger side. Mono mode automatically
switches off. The temperature on the driver
side remains unchanged. You can now
adjust the driver side and passenger side
temperatures independently. The
temperature settings for each side are
shown in the display.
Switching Mono Mode Back On
Press and hold the
AUTO button. The
passenger side temperature is adjusted to
the driver side temperature setting.
HINTS ON CONTROLLING THE
INTERIOR CLIMATE
General Hints
Note: Prolonged use of recirculated air may
cause the windows to fog up.
Note: A small amount of air may be felt
from the footwell air vents regardless of the
air distribution setting.
Note: To reduce humidity build-up inside
your vehicle, do not drive with the system
switched off or with recirculated air always
switched on.
Note: Do not place objects under the front
seats as this may interfere with the airflow
to the rear seats.
Note: Keep the air intakes in front of the
windshield free from obstruction (such as
snow or leaves) to allow the climate control
system to function effectively.

Brake-Shift Interlock WARNINGS
Do not drive your vehicle until you
verify that the brake lamps are
working. WARNINGS
When doing this procedure, you will
be taking the vehicle out of park
which means the vehicle can roll
freely. To avoid unwanted vehicle
movement, always fully set the parking
brake prior to doing this procedure. Use
wheel chocks if appropriate. If the parking brake is fully released,
but the brake warning lamp remains
illuminated, the brakes may not be
working properly. See your authorized
dealer. Use the brake shift interlock lever to move
the gearshift lever from the park position
in the event of an electrical malfunction or
if your vehicle has a dead battery.
Apply the parking brake and turn the
ignition off before performing this
procedure.
1. Insert a screwdriver (or similar tool)
between the shifter bezel and the top
finish panel.
2. Use the tool to unsnap the shifter bezel
from the finish panel. 3. Locate the white lever located on the
left side of the shifter.
4. Using the tool move the white lever towards the rear of the shifter.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The traction control system helps avoid
drive wheel spin and loss of traction.
If your vehicle begins to slide, the system
applies the brakes to individual wheels
and, when needed, reduces engine power
at the same time. If the wheels spin when
accelerating on slippery or loose surfaces,
the system reduces engine power in order
to increase traction.
USING TRACTION CONTROL
In certain situations for example, stuck in
snow or mud, turning the traction control
off may be beneficial as this allows the
wheels to spin with full engine power.
Depending on the type of system you have
on your vehicle, you can either turn the
system off using the information display
or by pressing the button.
Switching the System Off Using
the Information Display Controls
(If Equipped)
Your vehicle comes with this feature
already enabled. If required, you can switch
this feature off using the information
display controls. See General
Information (page 77).
Switching the System Off Using a
Switch
(If Equipped)
The button is located in the instrument
panel.
Press the button. You will see a message
in conjunction with an illuminated icon in
the display. Press the button again to
return the system to normal mode.
When you switch the traction control
system off, stability control remains fully
active. System Indicator Lights and
Messages WARNING
If a failure has been detected within
the AdvanceTrac system, the
stability control light will illuminate
steadily. Verify that the AdvanceTrac
system was not manually disabled through
the information display. If the stability
control light still illuminates steadily, have
the system serviced by an authorized
dealer immediately. Operating your vehicle
with AdvanceTrac disabled could lead to
an increased risk of loss of vehicle control,
vehicle rollover, personal injury and death. The stability control light
temporarily illuminates on
engine start-up and flashes
when a driving condition activates the
stability system. The stability control off light
temporarily illuminates on
engine start-up and stays on
when you turn the traction control system
off.
When you turn the traction control system
off or on, a message appears in the
information display showing system status.
