Rear Window Wiper/Washer — If
Equipped
A rotary switch on the center portion of the
control lever (located on the right side of the
steering column) controls the operation of
the rear wiper/washer function.
Rotate the switch upward to the first detent
position for rear wiper operation.
Rotate the switch upward past the first detent
to activate the rear washer. The washer pump
and the wiper will continue to operate as long
as the switch is held. Upon release, the wiper
will cycle two to three times before returning
to the set position.
If the rear wiper is operating when the igni-
tion is turned to the LOCK position, the wiper
will automatically return to the “park” posi-
tion. When the vehicle is restarted, the wiper
will resume function at whichever position
the switch is set at.

Automatic Climate Control Descriptions
Icon Description
A/C Button
Push the A/C button to engage the Air Conditioning (A/C). An LED will illuminate when the A/C system is engaged.
Automatic Operation
The Automatic Temperature Control system automatically maintains the climate in the cabin of the vehicle at the com-
fort levels desired by the driver and passenger. Operation of the system is quite simple.
Turn the Mode Control knob (on the right) and the Blower Control knob (on the left) to AUTO.
Refer to “Automatic Operation” in this section for more information.

The AUTO position performs best for front seat occupants only.
Recirculation Button
Push and release this button to change the system between recirculation mode and outside air mode. Recirculation can
be used when outside conditions such as smoke, odors, dust, or high humidity are present.
NOTE:
• Continuous use of the Recirculation mode may make the inside air stuffy and window fogging may occur. Extended
use of this mode is not recommended.
• The use of the Recirculation mode in cold or damp weather could cause windows to fog on the inside, because of
moisture buildup inside the vehicle. Select the outside air position for maximum defogging.
• Recirculation can be used in all modes except for Defrost.
• The A/C can be deselected manually without disturbing the mode control selection.
Rear Defrost Button
Push and release the Rear Defrost Control button to turn on the rear window defroster and the heated outside mirrors
(if equipped). An indicator will illuminate when the rear window defroster is on. The rear window defroster automati-
cally turns off after ten minutes.

Temperature Control
Use this control to regulate the temperature of the air inside the passenger compartment. Rotating the knob counter-
clockwise, from top center into the blue area of the scale, indicates cooler temperatures. Rotating the knob clockwise,
into the red area, indicates warmer temperatures.
Blower Control
There are seven blower speeds. Use this control to regulate the amount of air forced through the system in any mode
you select. The blower speed increases as you move the control clockwise from the off position.
NOTE:
Depending on the configuration, your vehicle may be equipped with four blower speeds.
Modes Control
Turn the knob to adjust airflow distribution. The airflow distribution mode can be adjusted so air comes from the instru-
ment panel outlets, floor outlets, defrost outlets and demist outlets. The Mode settings are as follows:
Panel Mode
Panel Mode
Air comes from the outlets in the instrument panel. Each of these outlets can be individually adjusted to direct the flow
of air. The air vanes of the center outlets and outboard outlets can be moved up and down or side to side to regulate
airflow direction.
Bi-Level Mode
Bi-Level Mode
Air comes from the instrument panel outlets and floor outlets. A slight amount of air is directed through the defrost and
side window demister outlets.
NOTE:
Bi-Level mode is designed under comfort conditions to provide cooler air out of the panel outlets and warmer air from
the floor outlets.

Air comes from the floor outlets. A slight amount of air is directed through the defrost and side window demister out-
lets.
Mix Mode
Mix Mode
Air is directed through the floor, defrost, and side window demister outlets. This setting works best in cold or snowy con-
ditions that require extra heat to the windshield. This setting is good for maintaining comfort while reducing moisture on
the windshield.
Front Defrost Mode
Front Defrost Mode
Turn the knob to the Front Defrost position. Air comes from the windshield and side window demist outlets. When the
defrost mode is selected, the blower level will increase. Use Defrost mode with maximum temperature settings for best

Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) —
If Equipped
Automatic Operation
1. Push the AUTO button on the faceplate on
the Automatic Temperature Control (ATC)
Panel.
2. Next, adjust the temperature you would
like the system to maintain by adjusting
the driver and passenger temperature
control buttons. Once the desired tem-
perature is displayed, the system will
achieve and automatically maintain that
comfort level.
3. 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 blower speed to provide comfort
as quickly as possible.To provide you with maximum comfort in the
Automatic mode during cold start-ups, the
blower fan will remain on low until the engine
warms up. The blower will increase in speed
and transition into Auto mode.
Manual Operation Override
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.
Operating Tips
Summer Operation
The engine cooling system must be protected
with a high-quality antifreeze coolant to pro-
vide proper corrosion protection and to pro-
tect against engine overheating. OAT coolant
(conforming to MS.90032) is recommended.
Winter Operation
To ensure the best possible heater and de-
froster performance, make sure the engine
cooling system is functioning properly and
the proper amount, type, and concentrationof coolant is used. Use of the Air Recircula-
tion mode during Winter months is not rec-
ommended, because it may cause window
fogging.
Vacation/Storage
Before you store your vehicle, or keep it out of
service (i.e., vacation) for two weeks or more,
run the air conditioning system at idle for
about five minutes, in fresh air with the
blower setting on high. This will ensure ad-
equate system lubrication to minimize the
possibility of compressor damage when the
system is started again.
Window Fogging
Vehicle windows tend to fog on the inside in
mild, rainy, and/or humid weather. To clear
the windows, select Defrost or Mix mode and
increase the front blower speed. Do not use
the Recirculation mode without A/C for long
periods, as fogging may occur.

CAUTION!
Failure to follow these cautions can cause
damage to the heating elements:
• Use care when washing the inside of
the rear window. Do not use abrasive
window cleaners on the interior surface
of the window. Use a soft cloth and a
mild washing solution, wiping parallel
to the heating elements. Labels can be
peeled off after soaking with warm
water.
• Do not use scrapers, sharp instru-
ments, or abrasive window cleaners on
the interior surface of the window.
• Keep all objects a safe distance from
the window.
Outside Air Intake
Make sure the air intake, located directly in
front of the windshield, is free of obstruc-
tions, such as leaves. Leaves collected in the
air intake may reduce airflow, and if they
enter the plenum, they could plug the water
drains. In Winter months, make sure the air
intake is clear of ice, slush, and snow.
Cabin Air Filter
The climate control system filters out dust
and pollen from the air. Contact an autho-
rized dealer to service your cabin air filter,
and to have it replaced when needed.
POWER WINDOWS — IF
EQUIPPED
The power window switches are located on
the instrument panel below the radio. Push
the switch downward to open the window and
upward to close the window.
The top left switch controls the left front
window and the top right switch controls the
right front window.
WARNING!
Never leave children unattended in a ve-
hicle, and do not let children play with
power windows. Do not leave the key fob in
or near the vehicle, or in a location acces-
sible to children. Occupants, particularly
WARNING!
unattended children, can become en-
trapped by the windows while operating
the power window switches. Such entrap-
ment may result in serious injury or death.

Wind Buffeting
Wind buffeting can be described as the per-
ception of pressure on the ears or a
helicopter-type sound in the ears. Your ve-
hicle may exhibit wind buffeting with thewindows down in certain open or partially
open positions. This is a normal occurrence
and can be minimized by adjusting the win-
dow opening.
