DUAL ZONE MANUAL HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
WITH REAR PASSENGER COMPARTMENT CLIMATE CONTROL
(IF EQUIPPED)
1.Air flow selections:Controls
the direction of the airflow in the
vehicle. See the following for a brief
description on each control.
MAX A/C:Uses recirculated air to
cool the vehicle. Air flows from the
instrument panel vents only.
:Distributes air through the
instrument panel vents.
:Distributes air through the
instrument panel vents and the floor vents.
O (OFF):Outside air is shut out and the fan will not operate.
:Distributes air through the floor vents.
:Distributes air through the windshield defroster vents and floor
vents. The system will automatically provide outside air to reduce
window fogging.
:Distributes outside air through the windshield defroster vents. Can
be used to clear ice or fog from the windshield. The system will
automatically provide outside air to reduce window fogging.
2. R
Rear fan speed control:Press to increase () or decrease
(
) the fan speed.
3.REAR:Press to activate the rear climate controls.
4.
REARRear temperature control:Press to increase or
decrease temperature in the rear of vehicle.
5.
RRear defrost:Press to defrost the rear window. Refer toRear
Window Defrostfor more information. The same button will activate
both Rear Defrost and Heated Mirrors (if equipped).
6.
Recirculated air:Used to manually enable or disable
recirculated air operation. When activated, recirculates air in the cabin
thereby reducing the amount of time to cool down the interior of the
vehicle when used with A/C. May also help reduce undesired outside
odors from reaching the interior of the vehicle. Engages automatically

with MAX A/C or can be engaged manually in any mode except Defrost.
Press to engage/disengage. To reduce humidity inside the vehicle, turn
recirculation off.
7.A/C:Press to engage/disengage. Uses outside or recirculated air to
cool the vehicle. Engages automatically in MAX A/C, Defrost and
Floor/Defrost. The A/C indicator light will illuminate in MAX A/C mode
and may or may not illuminate in Defrost, Floor/Defrost modes
depending on the previous selections.
8.Fan speed adjustment:Controls the volume of air circulated in the
vehicle.
9.Left temperature selection:Controls the temperature of the airflow
to the driver in the front of the vehicle.
10.Right temperature selection:Controls the temperature of the
airflow to the passenger in the front of the vehicle.
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 in
recirculated air mode without the A/C running.
•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 aid in side window defogging/demisting in cold weather:
1. Select
2. Select A/C
3. Set the temperature control to full heat.
4. Set the fan speed to the highest setting.
5. Direct the outer instrument panel vents towards the side windows
Do not place objects on top of the instrument panel as these
objects may become projectiles in a collision or sudden stop.

the air flow selector in the
position.
•To reduce humidity build up inside the vehicle: do not drive with the
air flow selector in the OFF or MAX A/C position.
•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 aid in side window defogging/demisting in cold weather:
1. Select
2. Select A/C
3. Modulate the temperature control to maintain comfort.
