Optional electronic instrument cluster gauges
Engine coolant temperature gauge
Indicates the temperature of the engine coolant. At normal operating
temperature, the needle remains within the normal area (the area
between the“H”and“C”). If it enters the red section, the engine is
overheating. Stop the vehicle as soon as safely possible, switch off the
ignition and let it cool. Refer toEngine coolantin theMaintenance
and specificationschapter.
This gauge indicates the temperature of the engine coolant, not the
coolant level. If the coolant is not at its proper level or mixture, the
gauge indication will not be accurate.
Never remove the coolant reservoir cap while the engine is
running or hot. Steam and scalding liquid from a hot cooling
system can burn you badly.

Controls the temperature of the
airflow inside the vehicle.
Mode Selector Control
Controls the direction of the airflow
to the inside of the vehicle.
A/C Control
A/C
This control is used to manually enable or disable the operation of the
air conditioning in all modes. In all modes, the air conditioning will only
function if the outside temperature is about 4°C (40°F) or higher.
When
A/Cis selected (ON) the indicator will be lit. WhenA/Cis selected
again (OFF) the indicator will not be lit.

The air condition operates in MAX A/C and when the A/C control is
depressed. However, the air conditioning will only function if the outside
temperature is about 4°C (40°F) or higher.
Since the air conditioner removes considerable moisture from the air
during operation, it is normal if clear water drips on the ground under
the air conditioner drain while the system is working and even after you
have stopped the vehicle.
•MAX A/C–Uses recirculated air to cool the vehicle. MAX A/C is
noisier than A/C modes but more economical and will cool the inside
of the vehicle faster. In this mode, the air conditioning will
automatically engage if the outside temperature is about 4°C (40°F) or
higher and the
A/Cindicator will automatically light. Airflow will be
from the instrument panel registers. This mode can also be used to
prevent undesirable odors from entering the vehicle.
•
(Panel)–Distributes outside air through the instrument panel
registers. Heating and air conditioning capabilities are provided in this
mode. Push
A/Cto cool the vehicle below the outside temperature.
•OFF–Outside air is shut out and the fan will not operate. For short
periods of time only, use this mode to reduce undesirable odors from
entering the vehicle.
•
(Panel and floor)–Distributes outside air through the
instrument panel registers and the front and rear floor ducts. Heating
and air conditioning capabilities are provided in this mode. Push
A/C
in order to cool the vehicle below the outside temperature. For added
customer comfort, when the temperature control knob is anywhere in
between the full hot and full cold positions, the air distributed through
the front and rear floor ducts will be slightly warmer than the air sent
to the instrument panel registers.
•
(Floor)–Distributes outside air through the front and rear floor
ducts. Heating and air conditioning capabilities are provided in this
mode. Push
A/Cin order to cool the vehicle below the outside
temperature.
Operating tips
•In humid weather conditions, place the climate control system in
Defrost mode before driving. This will reduce fogging on your
windshield. Once the windshield has been cleared, operate the climate
control system as desired.
•To reduce humidity buildup inside the vehicle in cold weather
conditions, don’t drive with the climate control system in the OFF or
MAX A/C position.

You can also set the Rear Fan Control on the main climate control
system to Rear A/C and turn the Rear A/C Fan Control to 0.
For maximum cooling for the front seat passengers, set the rear fan
switch to the OFF (0) position.
Please note that the rear passenger air conditioning system is
designed for air conditioning purposes only, and does not heat the
rear compartment. Rear compartment heating is provided by the
underseat floor ducts. Refer to Rear Seat Heating.
ELECTRONIC AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL (EATC)
SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
The EATC system will maintain a selected temperature and automatically
control airflow. You can override automatic operation with any of the
override controls or the fan speed control.

If unusual conditions exist (i.e.-window fogging, etc.), the manual
override controls allow you to select airflow locations and the fan control
allows you to adjust fan speed as necessary.
Temperature selection
The display window indicates the
selected temperature, function
(AUTO or one of the override
controls) and manual control of fan
speed (
) if automatic fan speed is not desired.
To control the temperature, select
any temperature between 15°C
(60°F) and 32°C (90°F) by pressing
the temperature controls. However,
individual temperature settings
between 15°C (60°F) and 18°C
(65°F) cannot be selected. The 15°C
(60°F) and 18°C (65°F)
temperatures are the lowest settings
available.
For continuous maximum cooling, push the temperature control until
15°C (60°F) is shown in the display window. The EATC will continue
maximum cooling (disregarding the displayed temperature) until a
warmer temperature is selected by pressing the temperature controls.
For continuous maximum heating, push the temperature controls until
32°C (90°F) is shown in the display window. The EATC will continue
maximum heating (disregarding the displayed temperature) until a
cooler temperature is selected by pressing the temperature control.
Fan speed (
)
When AUTOMATIC is pressed, fan
speed is adjusted automatically for
existing conditions. You can override
fan speed at any time. To control
fan speed manually, use the
thumbwheel to cancel automatic fan
speed operation. Rotate the
thumbwheel or press the steering
wheel controls (if equipped) up for
higher fan speed or down for lower
fan speed.

Manual override controls
The override controls allow you to:
•manually control where the airflow is directed
•manually control the air conditioning operation
•manually select between outside or recirculated air during air
conditioning operation
The air conditioning can operate in all modes except OFF. It will also
operate only when required when AUTOMATIC has been selected.
However, the air conditioning will only function if the outside
temperature is about 4°C (40°F) or higher.
Since the air conditioner removes considerable moisture from the air
during operation, it is normal if clear water drips on the ground under
the air conditioner drain while the system is working and even after you

•MAX A/C - Uses recirculated air to cool the vehicle. MAX A/C is
noisier than
A/CA/C but more economical and will cool the inside of
the vehicle faster. After pressing the MAX control, both the MAX
and
A/CA/C indicators will light and the airflow will be from the
instrument panel registers. In this mode, the air conditioning will
automatically engage if the outside temperature is about 4°C (40°F) or
higher.
Cooling your vehicle with outside air using override controls
Cooling your vehicle with air conditioned outside air using just the A/C
override control is quieter but less economical than using both the A/C
and the MAX control. It also has less cooling capacity and is not
recommended for high outside temperatures.
In order to cool your vehicle with outside air using the override controls:
1. Select the override control
,or.
2. Press
A/C. The indicator light onA/Cwill illuminate.
3. Select the desired temperature for your comfort level.
4. Adjust the fan speed override knob to the position of your choice.

During periods of high humidity, vapor may be emitted from the air
outlets when using the A/C system with outside air. This can be
corrected by using MAX A/C to cool the vehicle.
Rear seat heating
Rear seat heating is provided through the floor ducts located under the
front seats. Airflow and temperature to the rear seating are regulated by
the main climate control system.
Operating tips
•In humid weather, select
(Defrost) before driving. This will
reduce fogging on your windshield. Once the windshield has been
cleared, operate the climate control system as desired.
•To reduce humidity buildup inside the vehicle in cold weather
conditions, do not drive with the climate control system in the OFF or
MAX A/C position.
•To reduce humidity buildup inside the vehicle in warm weather
conditions, do not drive with the climate control system in the OFF
position.
•Under normal weather conditions, your vehicle’s climate control
system should be left in any position other than MAX A/C or OFF
when the vehicle is parked. This allows the vehicle to“breathe”
through the outside air inlet duct.
•Under snowy or dirty weather conditions, your vehicle’s climate
control system should be left in the OFF position when the vehicle is
parked. This allows the climate control system to be free from
contamination of outside pollutants.
•If your vehicle has been parked with the windows closed during warm
weather conditions, the air conditioner will perform more efficiently in
cooling the vehicle if driven for two or three minutes with the
windows open. This will force most of the hot, stale air out of the
vehicle. Once the vehicle has been“aired out”, operate the climate
control system as desired.

You can also turn the Rear Fan Control on the main climate control
system to Rear A/C and turn the Rear A/C Fan Control to 0.
For maximum cooling for the front seat passengers, set the rear fan
switch to the OFF (0) position.
Please note that the rear passenger air conditioning system is
designed for air conditioning purposes only, and does not heat the
rear compartment. Rear compartment heating is provided by the
underseat floor ducts. Refer to Rear Seat Heating.
REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER
The rear defroster control is located
on the instrument panel.
Press the rear defroster control to
clear the rear window of thin ice
and fog.
•The small LED will illuminate
when the rear defroster is
activated.
