navigation radio. The images are
projected by the HUD lens located
on the driver’s side of the
instrument panel.
The tap shift gear will also appear
on the HUD if the vehicle has
tap shift and it is active.
The HUD information can be
displayed in one of three languages,
English, French, or Spanish.
The speedometer reading and other
numerical values can be displayed
in either English or metric units.
The language selection and
the units of measurement are

automatically controlled. The air
conditioning runs when the
outside temperature is over
40°F (4°C). The system is
automatically set to outside air,
unless it is hot outside and
then the air inlet changes to
recirculation mode to help quickly
cool the vehicle. The recirculation
indicator light will come on.2. Set the temperature for the driver
and passenger.
To nd a comfortable setting,
start with a 73°F (22°C)
temperature setting and allow
about 20 minutes for the system
to regulate. Use the driver’s
side or passenger side
temperature buttons to adjust
the temperature setting as
necessary. The system will

weather, the system delays
turning on the fan until warm air
is available. Press the fan
control to override this delay and
select the fan speed.Temperature Control
The driver and passenger side
temperature buttons are used to
adjust the temperature of the
air coming through the system.
The temperature can be adjusted
even if the system is turned off since
outside air still enters the vehicle,
unless the recirculation mode
is selected. See “Recirculation” later
in this section.

the recirculation mode on or off.
An indicator light comes on
when recirculation is on. When the
engine is turned off, the recirculation
mode automatically turns off and

This mode recirculates and helps to
quickly cool the air inside the vehicle.
It can be used to prevent outside air
and odors from entering the vehicle.
The recirculation mode cannot be
used with oor, defog, or defrosting
modes. If recirculation is selected in
these modes, the indicator ashesthree times and turns off. The air

indicator ashes three times
and turns off to show that the
A/C mode is not available. If the
A/C is on and the outside
temperature drops below a
temperature which is too cool for
air conditioning to be effective,
the A/C indicator turns off to show
that the A/C mode has been
canceled.On hot days, open the windows
briey to let hot inside air escape.
This helps reduce the time it
takes for the interior of the vehicle
to cool down.
The air conditioning system removes
moisture from the air, so a small
amount of water might drip under the
vehicle while idling or after turning off
the engine. This is normal.
