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:Distributes recirculated
air through the instrument panel
vents only to cool the vehicle. This
re-cooling of the interior air is more
economical and efficient.
Recirculated air may also help
reduce undesirable odors from
entering the vehicle.
: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 climate system is turned off.
:Distributes air through the floor vents.
:Distributes air through the windshield defroster vents and floor
vents.
:Distributes outside air through the windshield defroster vents. Can
be used to clear thin ice or fog from the windshield.
Auxiliary climate control operation:Turn the front air flow control
(1) to any position except O (OFF).
2. R
Rear fan speed control:Press to enable the auxiliary system
or to adjust the rear fan speed from the front control. The rear fan speed
settings available are 4, 3, 2, 1 and O (OFF).
3.REAR:Press to enable the control located in the rear seat. Press
again to turn the auxiliary system off.
4.
REARRear temperature control:Press to enable the
auxiliary system and to set the desired rear cabin airflow temperature
with the front control. The rear cabin airflow temperature will match the
driver airflow temperature setting when only the center rear temperature
light (
REAR) is illuminated. The rear cabin airflow temperature

will be warmer or cooler than the driver airflow temperature setting
when more than one rear temperature light (
REAR)is
illuminated.
5.
RRear defroster:Press to activate/deactivate rear window
defroster. Refer toRear window defrosterlater in this chapter for more
information.
6.
Recirculated air:Press to activate/deactivate air recirculation
in cabin. Recirculated air may reduce the amount of time to cool down
the interior of the vehicle and may also help reduce undesired odors
from reaching the interior of the vehicle. Recirculation engages
automatically with selection of MAX A/C or can be engaged manually in
any other airflow selection except
. Recirculation may turn off
automatically in all airflow selections except MAX A/C.
7.A/C:Press to activate/deactivate air conditioning. Use with
recirculated air to improve cooling performance and efficiency. Engages
automatically in MAX A/C,
and.
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

the air flow selector in the
position.
•To reduce humidity build up inside the vehicle: do not drive with the
airflow selector in the O (OFF) or with recirculated air engaged.
•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.

•Dual temperature control:Press and hold AUTO to
engage/disengage separate passenger side temperature control.
16.AUTO:Press to engage full automatic operation, and select the
desired temperature using the temperature control. The system will

OPERATING TIPS
•To reduce fog build up on the windshield during humid weather, place

•To reduce humidity build up inside the vehicle: do not drive with the
airflow selector in the OFF or with recirculated air engaged.
•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.
•For maximum cooling performance (MAX A/C):
In AUTO mode, press AUTO control and set to desired temperature.
In manual override control, select
or, A/C and recirculated
air
and set the temperature to 60°F (16°C). Set the fan to the
highest speed initially, then adjust to maintain passenger comfort.
•To improve the A/C cool down, drive with the windows slightly open
for 2–3 minutes after starting the vehicle or until the vehicle has
“aired out.”
In extremely cold temperatures, to maximize overall heater performance
it is suggested to not operate the auxiliary system (if so equipped) until
the engine temperature gauge crosses into the normal operating range.
To aid in side window defogging/demisting in cold weather:
1. Select
.
2. Select A/C.

1. Turn the key to 5 (START)
without pressing the accelerator
pedal and release as soon as the
engine starts. The key will return to
4 (ON).
2. When the engine starts, release
the key.
Note:If the engine does not start within five seconds on the first try,
turn the key to 3 (OFF), wait 10 seconds and try again. If the engine still
fails to start, press the accelerator to the floor and try again; this will
allow the engine to crank with the fuel shut off in case the engine is
flooded with fuel.
Using the engine block heater (if equipped)
An engine block heater warms the engine coolant which aids in starting
and heater/defroster performance. Use of an engine block heater is
strongly recommended if you live in a region where temperatures reach
-10°F (-23°C) or below. For best results, plug the heater in at least three
hours before starting the vehicle. The heater can be plugged in the night
before starting the vehicle.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not use your heater
with ungrounded electrical systems or two-pronged (cheater)
adapters.
Guarding against exhaust fumes
Carbon monoxide is present in exhaust fumes. Take precautions to avoid
its dangerous effects.
If you smell exhaust fumes inside your vehicle, have your dealer
inspect your vehicle immediately. Do not drive if you smell
exhaust fumes.
Important ventilating information
If the engine is idling while the vehicle is stopped for a long period of
time, open the windows at least one inch (2.5 cm) or adjust the heating
or air conditioning to bring in fresh air.
