MANUAL HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
1.Temperature selection:
Controls the temperature of the
airflow in the vehicle.
2.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 through the instrument panel registers
to cool the vehicle. This mode maximizes the airflow and as it is
re-cooling the interior air, it is more economical and efficient. May
reduce undesirable odors from entering the vehicle.
A/C:Uses outside air to cool the vehicle. Air flows from the instrument
panel register vents only.
:Distributes outside air through the instrument panel vents.
OFF:Outside air is shut out and the fan will not operate.
:Distributes outside air through the instrument panel and floor
vents.
:Distributes outside air through the floor vents.
:Distributes outside air through the windshield defroster vents and
floor vents.
:Distributes outside air through the windshield defroster vents.
3.Fan speed adjustment:Controls the volume of air circulated in the
vehicle.
4.Rear defrost control:Press to
defrost the rear window.
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
air flow selector in the OFF or MAX A/C position.
•Under normal weather conditions, do not leave the air flow selector in
MAX A/C or OFF when the vehicle is parked. This allows the vehicle
to“breathe”using the outside air inlet vents.

•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.
4. Set the fan speed to HI
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.
ELECTRONIC AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL (EATC)
SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
1.OFF:Outside air is shut out and
the fan will not operate.
Climate Controls

2.Outside temp control:Press to
display the outside air temperature.
Press again to return to interior
temperature. Exterior readings are most accurate when the vehicle is
moving.
3.MAX A/C control:Press to turn
on and manually control the air
conditioning in all modes
except
(Defrost). Press again to disengage. Press AUTO for the
system to automatically control the temperature.
4.Temperature control:Press this
control to select the temperature.
The display window indicates the
selected temperature.
5.Auto:To engage automatic
temperature control, press AUTO to
select the desired temperature using
the temperature control. The system will automatically determine fan
speed, airflow location, outside or recirculated air to heat or cool the
vehicle to reach the desired temperature.
6.Fan Speed:Press to manually
increase/decrease fan speed. In
manual mode, the display will
show
with a bar graph to indicate fan speed. When in AUTO mode,
the system will automatically control fan speed to achieve the desired
temperature.
7.Manual override controls:
Allows you to manually determine
where airflow is directed. To return
to full automatic control, press AUTO.
8.F
:Distributes outside air
through the windshield defroster
ducts. Can be used to clear ice or
fog from the windshield.
9.Rear defrost control:Press to
defrost the rear window.
Climate Controls

10.:Distributes air through the windshield defroster ducts and floor
ducts. The system will automatically provide outside air to reduce
window fogging.
11.
:Distributes air through the floor and rear seat floor ducts
(if equipped).
12.
:Distributes air through the instrument panel and center console
registers (if equipped), the front and rear seat floor ducts.
13.
:Distributes air through the instrument panel and center console
registers (if equipped).
Fahrenheit/Celsius temperature:Press MAX A/C and F
to toggle
between Fahrenheit and Celsius temperature. The set point
temperatures in Celsius will be displayed in half-degree increments.
