and demister vents. Can be used to clear thin ice or fog from the
windshield. To exit select another mode.
2. Passenger side temperature control: Press to engage the dual zone
feature of the DATC system. Allows the passenger to choose and control
a different temperature than the driver, if desired.
3. R
Rear defroster: Press to defrost the rear window. Refer to
Rear window defroster in this section for more information. If your
vehicle is equipped with both rear defroster and heated mirrors, the
same button will activate both.

: Distributes air through the floor and rear seat floor ducts. The
system will automatically provide outside air to reduce window fogging.
: Distributes air through the instrument panel registers and the front
and rear seat floor ducts.
: Distributes air through the instrument panel registers.
8. A/C control: Press to activate/deactivate air conditioning. Use with
recirculated air to improve cooling performance and efficiency. Engages
automatically in AUTO, (defrost) and (floor/defrost).
9. Driver heated seat control: Press to heat the driver seat. Press
once for full heat (two lights above passenger heated seat control will be
illuminated). Press a second time to select low heat (one light). Press a
third time to disengage the feature (all lights will be off). Note: The

Dual Automatic Temperature Control (DATC) system operating tips
• To reduce fog build up on the windshield during humid weather, place
the air flow selector in the position.
• To reduce humidity build up inside the vehicle, do not drive with the
system OFF, or with recirculated air engaged and A/C off.
• Do not put objects under the front seats that will interfere with the
airflow to the back seats.
• Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of
the windshield.
• To improve the A/C cool down, drive with the windows slightly open
for 2-3 minutes after start up or until the vehicle has been “aired out.”

• Do not override A/C or (recirculated air).
• Set the temperature to 60° F (16° C).
Override operation:
• Select air distribution.
• Select A/C and (recirculated air). Use (recirculated air)
with A/C to provide colder airflow.
• Set the temperature to 60° F (16° C).
• Set highest fan speed initially, then adjust to maintain comfort.
In MAX A/C setting:
• Move the temperature control to full cold.
• Set highest fan speed initially, then adjust to maintain comfort.
In (panel) or (panel/floor) modes:
• Move temperature control to full cold.
• Select A/C and (recirculated air). Use recirculated air with A/C
to provide colder airflow.
• Set highest fan speed initially, then adjust to maintain comfort.
• To aid in side window defogging/demisting in cold weather:
1. Select .
2. Select A/C.
3. Adjust the temperature control to maintain comfort.
4. Set the fan speed to the highest setting.
5. Direct the outer instrument panel vents towards the side windows.
To increase airflow to the outer instrument panel vents, close the vents
located in the middle of the instrument panel.
Do not place objects on top of the instrument panel as these
objects may become projectiles in a collision or sudden stop.

REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER R
The rear defroster control is located on the climate control panel and
works to clear the rear window of fog and thin ice.
The ignition must be in the 3 (RUN) position to operate the rear window
defroster.
The rear defroster turns off automatically after 10 minutes or when the
ignition is turned to the 1 (LOCK) position. To manually turn off the
defroster before 10 minutes have passed, push the control again.
Do not use razor blades or other sharp objects to clean the inside
of the rear window or to remove decals from the inside of the
rear window. This may cause damage to the heated grid lines and
will not be covered by your warranty.

Pull toward you slightly to activate
and release to deactivate.
PANEL DIMMER CONTROL
Use to adjust the brightness of the
instrument panel and all applicable
switches in the vehicle during
headlamp and parklamp operation.
Move the control to the full upright
position, past detent, to turn on the
interior lamps.
At dusk and dawn, the brightness
are illuminated to higher than
normal intensity to enhance contrast
and visibility. The system automatically “dims down” as ambient light
reaches the dash-mounted sensor. The interior control lights dim
progressively in four steps until they reach nighttime operating levels.
Certain displays like the message center and the climate control unit do
not change with the dimmer control till the dash-mounted sensor senses
full night conditions. O F F
